I'm never doing this again..

Big Muff Pi w/tone wicker (say what you will about this pedal, I actually really dig the sound).
Stripped, sanded, cleaned, etch-primed, two glued-on coats of goddamn glitter, twenty two coats of clearcoat. Very pleased with the result, it's rock-solid now. :)

Will take some (better, more sparkly :!!!: ) pics when the replacement knobs get here.

Nice, yeah there's a lot of spare room under the hood in this 1590bb... good excuse to squeeze in something else!

I ordered a few different types of replacement knobs of all shapes and sizes; It's surprisingly hard to find knobs suitable for knurled shafts..

I might take a few different pics when they arrive, see what people think. :)
