ROAST MY BUILD!
Sometimes it gets pretty chummy around here. In the spirit of IAIGF, tell me why this build is hideodorous! So ugly it stinks.

I think the sounds it makes into a clean amp make it worth the bigger enclosure. The great component layout made this a breeze to populate in rows. I'm starting to really enjoy the zen of soldering. I use Lead-Free solder.

Substitutes:
- Presence -> B10k.
- C8 -> 270pF
- C9 -> 220pF

Posca Pens on Tayda black sand with Tayda knobs and a UV LED. Drilled by myself. I will maybe add more art and pop to the text later.

Edit: Officially the most overspray I've had to deal with on a Tayda enclosure. Sanding around my jacks and pots was a real pain. also only 2 of the screw holes were drilled out well enough to use. It looks like the other 2 were done at an angle and have so much overspray that it makes them impossible to use.

I want to roast your build but I really like your Posca pen work… don’t quit your day job but nice work. Also, where’s the white washer?

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

Boom. Roasted.

 

[jcpst]

Can’t believe you spelled out the full word “Middle”, ugh.

 

[Fuzzonaut]

Your foot switch is upside down. White washer goes on the outside. Too many - and ugly - knobs. Needs more Wima caps. Should be in a 125B.

 

[jcpst]

There’s a bigger question here.

Why can’t you decide between a BE-OD and Dirty Shirley?

Shit or get off the pot!

 

[Harry Klippton]

You could have gotten some preschoolers to label the enclosure with macaroni art and it would still look better than posca pens

-1 for not spelling out Presence

This pedal looks like it was designed by a kindergarten class during arts and crafts time, using whatever was left over from a glitter and glue explosion. The knobs are more mysterious than an unsolved murder case—who even knows what "Tighx" does? It's probably a secret setting that makes your guitar sound like it's being played through a tin can. The meteor theme is a nice touch, though. It really sells the idea that using this pedal might crash and burn your entire rig.

JFC, who labeled this thing? Looks like it was done while filming deadliest catch SMH

 

[Robert]

You don't even wear the right kind of clothes. You got damn stupid shoes on anyway. Where'd you get them ugly britches?

I use Lead-Free solder.

It's going to be tough to beat this one.

 

[tegendemuur]

It's shit... Because you haven't used shitty components.

 

[jwin615]

This rocks

as much as this does

 

[Aentons]

Looks like a bird took a shit on it.

Why'd you leave the covers on the pots? Take those off and save them for when they matter.

 

[szukalski]

Just because some watery tart lobs an IC at you....

[jcpst]

Now I wanna see someone do a macaroni art enclosure.

Yeah, I only use pot condoms on the pots that will be touching the board. The ones that hang off the board, those don't get condoms and are free to raw dog it.

Mmm yeah, once you get those pots turnt up, they can hardly resist.

Except for tight I guess.
