That Clarinot has one of the best finishes of all time. The placement and everything rocks. It's like something you keep on a bookshelf, free from tainted hands.

I had spent many hours trying to do graphics for the Warhead Vibe I did awhile back for BlindTF. Finally, I was happy enough with the result and couldn't go any further because he waited over 2 months for that pedal. Being done with that I knew that I needed to put this Clari board in a box as a present to myself. I wanted to do something new but ended up hacking the graphics I did for a tone machine. I had wanted a clean etch but I burned it too much. After painting it, it looked lackluster so I just decided to strip it and etch it some more and burn it up. I tried some distressing on the knobs with acid via John Lyons suggestion and I like the look. I had run out of enclosures and had one huge box around and said fuck it. Most of my effects are huge, which is becoming a pain but this one sounds so good. Doug Deeper is a fucking genius....

I got a whole new batch of laser engraved plates so I decided to kick out a fuzz face to see how they looked :

Still deciding on placement but they give a really nice classy look to my builds.

Ram's head/Triangle (tight and cutting/bass boost) toggle switch.
Clean blend Knob to add in un affected low end and to adjust fuzzery to taste
Bass and Treble knobs (to eliminate the bass vs treble compromise with single BMP tone knob)
Volume and Sustain knobs. Improved presence/high end with the sustain (fuzz knob.
(typical BMP circuit lacks high end and gets pretty dull when the sustain knob is dialed down.)

I like this one, as well. Looks like an ohnoho pedal.

Acetone Fuzzmaster FM2 - gots the tone on a switch but I added a 2k trim to the board to dial out some of the mid-scoop and wired the tone switch so you get the midscoop by itself and the non-midscoop setting and midscoop together. Sounds thicker.
