Â£75 + shipping. It would have to be on a larger case to have a tone control aswell though.

Haze, like I said, I will possibly be able to drill this weekend, but if not Tuesday. I am still feeling ill and it is an 80 mile round trip. Please don't hassle me, I'm stressed enough as it is.

See my email, you forgot to accept the paypal fees again.

it's definitely possible, in fact I have that exact case all built and ready to go except for with a red LED rather than a Green one. I'm just waiting on some Germanium transistors for it which I should get in a week or so.

Dirty little secret clone?

This is my rough idea for my OCD decal. What'd you think Mike? You OK with the name? Obviously when I find out the proper measurements the knob placement and stuff would be done properly. Would those footswitch, LED etc placements be ok?

Oh yeah, and I figure that image would look best against a white background, so I'd want the pedal in white with a pink LED, but the colour of the LED isn't really that important for me if you don't have any pinks. And I figure either Mustang knobs or the one's with the silver bit in the middle would be best, which ever is smaller and will give the decal more room on there.

EDIT: The circles I drew in there for the knobs didn't show up on the saved image, but basically I used the same layout as the regular OCD except with the LED shifted down to just below the Made By Mike bit (or possibly between the name and the Made By Mike if the footswitch has to be moved up) and that will hopefully allow me to move the Tone knob up a little so that there's more room in the middle there for the decal.

haha.. looks pretty ace. Is that to the correct dimension of the box? ((i.e. did you talk to Benecol)?

I would need you to talk to him so that all the parts dimensions are included (I will also need to see all thsoe circles so I know where to drill.

Gavin · Post by **Gavin** » Fri May 29, 2009 5:46 am

Nah, he hasn't gotten back to me with the proper dimensions yet, so that's just a rough outline of what I wanna do. With a bit of resizing etc it should work anyway.

Post by **Mike** » Fri May 29, 2009 6:08 am

Are you OK with DC jack on the side like the original? Cos currently the HP/LP switch will be in the way.

Gavin · Post by **Gavin** » Fri May 29, 2009 6:29 am

Jacks in the side is fine.

OK. so when you do the layout, get the Volume and Drive pots up as high as poss with Benecol's help with the HP/LP switch near the top too. The tone underneath in the middle and I should be able to handle the rest

Shit, sorry, pandemonium here with the shows going up. Mike, what size case is it, and I'll send the files through this evening. Gavin, they're Illustrator files: are you ready for that jelly?

Post by **Mike** » Fri May 29, 2009 8:43 am

Larger case, Portrait style please mate.

There is no rush, I don't even have a case to drill yet and most likely won't until Tuesday at earliest.

Some points:

The original

Thing the same:

-Portrait
-Jacks on sides
- DC jack on left side

Things different:
- LED moved to alongside switch (on right hand side, say)
- switch moved to very bottom of pedal, in the middle
- battery will lie on it's side above the battery
- jacks will be above that and will hold it in place
- Circuit board will sit in the gap above those
- knobs and switch in same pattern and as close to the top of the portrait as possible.

No rush, Gavin is last on the list.

Openely Cloned Drive is hilarious, seriously cool layout Gavin.

If Photoshop CS3 can open them, then yeah.

Gavin · Post by **Gavin** » Fri May 29, 2009 11:32 pm

Shit. I just realised that for a decal all the white bits will have to be clear. Is there an easy way to do this in photoshop?
