IN PROGRESS Snake Oil The Very Thing

[Fingolfen]

So... you've got the Marvelous Engine, but not a The Very Thing from Snake Oil... I'd love to do a combo pedal with both in one box with an order switcher...

(I even have a "The Very Thing" I could help trace and/or send for tracing)

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

I enjoy that the front is so overwhelmed with schtick that the in/out/9v etc. label has to go on the back.

 

[Fingolfen]

Yeah, the etching is cool. I've done one etched enclosure top and it came out killer. If I get to the point to where I can do the combo pedal I'll likely do an etched front for it too... Dino themed of course... but something suitably cool and in a similar theme...

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

Titanoboa too obvious of a choice?

Not too obvious... but not sure I'd even go with a prehistoric snake... since Snake Oil is the company not the pedal... not a bad idea though...

I don't believe these are etched. If I recall correctly (it's been a little while and many many pedals ago) it was a stamped thin metal plate.

I always meant to grab this one as well, and kept it in my cart forever when they were still in production.... but never did.

Most likely is... but it's got the right look...

[Fingolfen]

Well... as this is now in progress... may I suggest "genuine article" as a name for the board???

 

[Robert]

I like it.

 

[DAJE]

The Definitive Article would be a better name, IMO.

EDIT: Or Definite if you want to be pedantic about it. I like the pretension of "definitive" though.

That's good too...

ASIDE: Where can I get those knobs? I remember seeing them when I didn't need them and now I need some and can't find them.

Cool looking pedal.

Thank you for writing that. I was looking at it and feeling that something was wrong with the way it looked, as an etched surface. Very cool looking pedal, that, like so many others, I was completely unaware of.

Tayda has them.

I've also picked up something similar on Amazon (not as cheap as Tayda):

What's on the workbench?

Guess what day it is! :) By any chance are there some "Trimmit" (trimpot adapters) in there? This 'Trimmits" are the handiest little doo-dads for adding a trimmer in place of a resistor in tight spots.

So YATS or not YATS?

I always thought these looked cool but just can't send any money in the direction of that giant bag of douche Rob Chapman.
