So the *REDACTED* gets its own special name, subculture, kloners, religion, but y'know, there's more to life than simply eating white-as chicken breast in the pedal world. Have you considered…?

Inspired by the pork ad campaign that went on from 1990 to whenever I stopped watching TV, here it is, another one we love to hate have mannered, civilized discussions about.

Had an extra board sitting around, and after this concept came into my brain, it was a no…brainer. Opted to use the BAT54S mini board idea by @jubal81 which ads a resistor to the anti-parallel diode pair. The board was meant to accommodate multiple configs, but I haven't really done it other ways. I also incorporated a number of @bean 's mods from the Darkside, mainly value changes to make it not so butt-sounding.

Went with Rust-Oleum Ace brand ivory white rattle can, baked and then LAYZOR'd out the design. As with the last Kewpie I did, I just left the soot in there and baked on some clear gloss poly from a can. I was too lazy to couldn't find the font for "pork" but I did find the right one for the tagline text. My typography professor said that horizontally scaling type was "stealing sheep" but h*ck even Apple did that, and put it in their (1993) style guide…

And for the contest purposes, here's the obligatory sound clip. Fair warning, I'm a bass player primarily, and I also have no clue how to mic an amp, so even though I wasn't clipping the audio, it sounds like 2x butt, but it is what it butt is.


And furthermore, heretofore, evermore here's the schematic:

Seconded. What laser engraver do you use, @jessenator? I really want to get one by the end of the year.
Mine is a middling hobby laser. (Ortur) Aufero AL2 with the LU2-4 SF 5W laser, and it takes forever :ROFLMAO: This one took about an hour and a half to do, since getting through cured paint requires 1500mm/min speed at 100% intensity. I'd save up for something larger, though if you're doing one-offs, it's not the worst thing in the world.
