Holy shitballs!

These large bat switches and rocker covers I got from Tayda are legit! I need to find a use for them.

I laughed out loud at this because I got one of those large bat switches due to my own error when ordering parts for the harbinger 1.5 and it is difficult to explain how ridiculous it is until it is there in front of you ... meanwhile I have a drawer full of those covers in black from an ordering error on a previous project ... I've held on to both figuring some day I'll find the use for them.

Those are fantastic! I couldn't help but start thinking of names (no matter how cliche).

There used to be a boutique pedal guy, like a decade back, and that was a big part of what he did, using those covers and switches. I think he metal stamped his letters into the enclosures too. I forget his name.

Fardunk. He had some issues with his pedal business from what I recall.

12dB boost Infront of a fuzz.
I'm a switch and knob junkie so have some as well.
Also have a 2pdt backlit pushbutton with a radiation logo on it I scrapped off an x-ray at work that I need to find a home for. Problem is, it's too deep for most enclosures.
I've been in a rutt on boxing things lately. Found some duplicolor spray enameled acrylic at a discount store for $2 yesterday in what I can best describe as "vintage military test equipment grey".
Been pondering boxing a few with it following that theme with some oversized dials and similar safety switches. Maybe inspire and get me unstuck.

That's the one. But he made some sweet looking devices. I remember his style was unique, and he wasn't able to keep up with demand.

*edit: I googled, and it was actually "Farndurk"*

Wow, blast from the past, Farndurk. Man I read some threads on him and whew it was nasty. Dude had a great idea and I loved the look of his pedals. I think they sounded great by others accounts but did he dig a hole for himself.

Bogner uses these as their power switches and when I called them to find a source (their boards use the 90 degree angled version) I got questioned as to how I was working on one of their amps and not a certified shop.  I explained that I was a local tech for a band that needed the amp fixed "yesterday" and after providing the serial number to the amp they express shipped a replacement that I had in the amp the next day.

I was going to put a set of those in my Phat Boy build but decided against it based on their size, lol.

I think it should be a secondary bypass control labeled "Ejection Seat."

Self destruct switch with an astable circuit that beeps/buzzes with increasing frequency and latches the DC input to the pedal circuit open once it reaches a solid beep(reset by returning switch and unplugging power.
could go as far as using a bi color indicator led thats normally green but turns red with beeps and a flip flop.
add pair of NOR gates on the power/switch input as an active high latching circuit to make it where they can revert the circuit by just resetting the switch.
Random googled increasing speed beep circuit here:

A little overboard, but would be hillarious.
