It sounds fucking BADASS. It's crunchy as all hell, loaaaaads of gain up the dial. I know you're gonna love it.

I've marked up the case same as the original. knobs in a triangle shape, jacks on the side near the top of the pedal, DC on the top.

It will be transported to the drilling site (my dad's garage) in paper to protect it, and similarly clamped in the vice and returned. I hope to get it to you in pristine condition, but I am a clutz. I painted it now so it has 4 days to cure before it gets drilled.

Then after that you're getting the first decal version of the Saltbooster, it'll look like this - Thanks to benecol.

How fucking cool is that?

I have bought some Inkjet Waterslide decal paper. Not tried it out yet but I'm hopeful. Got it on ebay, we'll see how it goes.

I'm planning to make an image the size of A4 and print a page of Saltbooster Decals on it (or beg benecol to do it for me because I'm useless) and print them all off and just cut out and slide them as I make pedals, so I'll have a library of ready made decals for each pedal eventually.

Stewart, I'm milking the fuck out of this, please don't reveal any more trade secrets, eh?

I'll do it Mike, but it'll be pricey. Tricky, A4.
