it'll be a couple of weeks yet, I'll hopefully get it built into the case early next week, but the lacquer needs time to cure before shipping I'm afraid. Rest assured it'll be as quick as possible.

oh, i'm not in a world-changing hurry at all. i like you're not NoHo-ing it and rushing it off your plate to move on to something different. i love my green strat that Aug did for me, but he's such a bumblefuck that he wanted it off his plate and didn't give the nitro time to cure.

but yes, that case is HAWT. i have bonedaggers for it.

Last night because I was injured and couldn't play football I build Zaphod's Harmonic Perculator (with Saltboost output stage) and the Green Big Muff for this nonShortscale guy I'm building a pedal for.

This morning I decal'd the cases for Zaphod and Jimmy's pedals, and took these pictures, then I laid clearcoat on them.

With Flash

The clearcoat makes the decals blend in a heap more, you've all seen photos of the finished product.

What's the forth muff knob do? It wasn't... uh... obvious from the labels. :)

That's not a Muff, it's a Fuzz for St Jimmy. the board is on the previous page.

The Muff is for someone else who contacted me by email after watching my videos.

oOo, I love the colour.

Also VAGINE make me giggle because I'm actually 9 years old.

While I love the personalised signature and everything, I'd have liked to have a decal of Mike's face on my pedal :( Not complaining! I just think they're ace!

I've tested the boards I built for Jimmy and Zaphod and they both work and sound great. As does the Big Muff.
I've got Zaphod's tone control designed also. The Harmonic Perc sounds amazing - really thick and chunky at high gain settings and clangy at lower ones, the tone control suits it well after I refined it. The saltboost stage makes everything plenty loud - great pedal. It has plenty of gain.
