how much tweaking does this need to be useable?

Yeah it would need a transparent background and that text removing unless you're not bothered by it. You've got 24 hours before I do decals so on yer bike if you want something special

Nice, is that all transparent aswell? I'm a photoshop dunce. This will be the first pedal ever with coloured decal (if you don't count the red Mike-Taur on my Klon)

Well, I had a think about that, and I don't think you need to - since there's no white ink in a printer, it just won't lay down any ink in the white areas - this is also why I changed the centres of the flames from white to a pale yellow. I also redrew in the missing wicks. Any grief, give me a shout.

OK thanks mate, you're a star. I drilled all the boxes last night, I'll drop my gear off at home this lunchtime and prime them, and then paint them after work this evening. More hours of daylight means I can actually spraypaint after work these days.

I'm afraid I've already labelled it up, and I had to use a more standard font to get the controls in there, it was a very tight squeeze since there is a lot going on on this thing!

Noirie, Vincel and Haze your boxes are all labelled and clearcoated and are curing. I should be able to build them over the bank holiday weekend and get them in the post to you shortly after that.

Two propositions for you Mike:

1. If I send you my Blackstar footswitch, can you replace the cable with a jack socket?

2. I am in the market for a small phaser (well smaller than my small stone). Is this something you can do? And if so how much? Or should I just buy a Nano Stone?

Cheers.

1. Definitely.

2. Unfortunately Phasers aren't simple and so I wouldn't be able to make one all that Small I'm afraid.
Cheers though!

Here's the cases pre-finishing:

Is that green the metallic finish? Looks good. Don't worry though, I like the red too, it has a nice utilitarian feel.

Looks great!
what does the Lift contorl on the dist 3 do?

Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2009 3:57 pm

It's a Diode Lift, makes it more versatile, with the Diodes Lifted it has some great low-mid gain sounds.

Vince your pedal is Dark Red because that's what you asked for mate, I offered you the Metallics and a Metallic Red and you said you wanted it Dark Red more like the Original pedal

Pedals all done!

Gutted about that tiny nick in the paint on the Box Of Cake by the Boost footswitch, something was on the paper under the pedal when I had the pedal face down working on it which scratched it a little bit. Buggeration.
