Tommy 3!

[finebyfine]

Finished this one up a couple of weeks ago, and have been liking it a lot more than I thought I would for my playing style. Thought my amp's dirty channels would be what I'd use if I wanted some of these tones but it has so much more range than that. Built it because I figured it'd be easy to get someone to take it off of me but it's stayed on my pedal board since I hooked it up.

Enclosure is a matte black sand from Tayda w/ UV printing with my go to method for their darker enclosures: two passes of white with the entire design on the white layer, single pass of color, and the gloss varnish option. The red color in the photo is most true to life behind the word overdrive. Troisième is french for 'third.'

Quick 'n dirty demo that admittedly doesn't really showcase the range that well:

Looks awesome!

Looks very good, as always!
Love the design, would fit a French film poster or novel cover.
"Beau travail!" (especially since people always forget the accents on the vowels when writing French words...)

Whoa, great work! That enclosure artwork is so solid!

without the accents how would anyone even know it's french! half the fun of using a french name is knowing people will know it's french lol

Really like the graphics - fab! But at the risk of being a wanker, troisieme is feminine (hint - it has an E at the end) so should be "La Troisieme". But hey - maybe this is a transgender pedal?

Who cares? It looks fantastic.

Did you have Tayda do the drilling too? If so any chance you can share the drill template?

Sorry I lost the coordinates in the Tayda style, so some of the +/-s will be off on this but:

face	diam	x	y	note

top side (face B) is standard:

Overdrives are the only pedal I find it hard to get excited about. This one turned out really nice and maybe I should build my board that's been sitting forever.

Same here. Turning it on was such a pleasant surprise.
