Big Muff Pi V7B/C resto-mod

[KR Sound]

I live doing these types of projects and @steviejr92 did all the heavy lifting on it- the sandblasting, powder coating, and screen printing.

Here’s how I received it from the customer:



And the final product:



The pedal’s owner runs a coffee roasting company, thus the theme of the graphics. The Cyrillic is his company name and the frog is his company logo.

I wired it up to run on both 9V power or with a battery. I had trouble finding a battery cover, as all I could find were 3D printed ones, and they’re ok looking.

Here are some more before, during and after pics:

I think the frog is the nicest touch!

That's crazy. I can't get past those wild looking pots and switch. Even the LED looks like military hardware. I initially had reservations about refinishing a vintage pedal (like respraying a '59) but given the original looked like a$$ and you did such a killer job I think this was a great move.

Cool project! Not gonna lie though, I kind of dig the crusty, run down look before the restoration. But if the customer's happy...

yes, me too! I initially thought it would be cool to clean up all the gunk and then print some distressed looking graphics on it.
