Does anyone have vids or samples? Looks really cool.

Very clean...what’s the verdict? Definitely building one of these.

I used a similar color for my Hydra pedal. I think the faceplate looks great and fortunately lined up really well with the case that I had drilled while waiting for the board to arrive. Also used a button for the footswith, although I had to use some epoxy putty to mount it because the top of the momentary footswitch I used with the bypass board is smaller than the standard top of the 3pdt footswitch. Used a green LED that is clear when it is not powered.

I love the 2-tone knob choice! It really helps separate the mix circuitry from the delay circuitry. Where did you find those black plastic-tipped toggles?

Tayda carries those knobs is a several colors.

I am loving it so far, it really has an analog feel even though its digital. I highly recommend it if you love delay like I do!

Delay is my favorite effect. The kaleidoscope and the hydra are next round.

My new favorite LED cover is using the translucent flat circular single-stud Lego pieces and a small bit of epoxy to glue it directly to the top of the case. It opens up a wide array of new and exciting different colors and it gives me flexibility to pull the pedal guts out later without messing with the LED & bezel. Also, I really like how it looks when lit up compared to just a bare LED.

If you don't like the 'Lego' label on there, you can lightly sand it off and buff the top of the Lego stud with some plastic polish....

A word of warning: Some kids (like mine) will absolutely freak out if they find out you're stealing and defacing their Legos...

I like the idea of using those Lego pieces. I need to visit my nephews. : ^ )
