Ecstasy of Gold tremolo (Sheepylove/GOTA beneficiary)

[blackhatboojum]

As @Guardians of the analog has mentioned, I too have gotten to know some pretty incredible people in the diy pedal world and in doing so, I have been the beneficiary of some great projects, parts, and the like. This particular project is no exception. Once again I have benefited from my man Chris and added to the mix this time, is the forum’s very own @szukalski . I can’t thank these guys enough for the work they put into this project and especially Chris for hooking me up once again. Dude is seriously way too good to me.

This thing is definitely a TR-2 through and through. When is comes to tremolo effects, the Boss TR-2 has always been my favorite. It’s versatile, solid, and one of the few trems I’ve been able to use in front of a distorted amp. It’ll do fast, slow, subtle, and hard chop. It also sounds great after delay which is my personal favorite way to use tremolo.

Aesthetically, I went with a spaghetti western theme. This was actually inspired by a conversation Chris and I were having about artwork. He mentioned The Good The Bad and The Ugly and I instantly thought of my favorite scene in the movie where the Ecstasy of Gold music kicks in. Hence the name for this pedal. This movie is also my favorite from the Clint Eastwood westerns so, it’s a no brainer for me to roll with it.

Stellar build and awesome graphics! Did you powder coat that yourself, or was that a limited edition powder coat drop from one of the suppliers

I knew when we made this that you were getting one and I'm glad someone who appreciates this pedal as much as I do got to build it as well. It turned out awesome dude

Again, I can’t thank you enough. It’s definitely appreciated. This old school Boss shit without buffer noise is my jam .

Well done man, love that hammered finish… I don’t think I have ever seen that color before.

I hope you shot the enclosure rather than drilling it. For authenticity.

Great job and hammertone is always sexy. Did you paint that?

You'll never guess why my flaming space ring shows up in the similar threads down there. Though to be fair, my photography sucks bad enough that it might be hard to compare.

Thanks! I had to use a drill because my pew pew weapons are... lets just say... too large of a caliber for potentiometer holes.
