Tweed Sound

[KindCanuck]

Full tweed coverage for the enclosure really makes this pedal. Nothing to say about it, super straight forward build and it sounds exactly how you expect. It’s now the first drive in my chain, crunching everything up when I slam it on.

The toughest part was being precise with the tweed, I had never covered anything before, just made repairs to Tolex. I tried a couple different corner types and next time I’ll do some straight edges, the “gift wrap” corners create so much bulk. Any tips out there?

Whoa. That's awesome. That looks so hard to do well at that scale and without corner protectors and stuff to hide sins. Great job.

That is one sweet build!

Well, maybe you could find a small metal box and saw the corners off, making tiny miniture corner protectors.

Tweeds should have chicken head knobs! Those are more like blonds.....

Damn, I'm jealous but I know full well I don't have the follow through to do this so clean.

I’m going through some mental health stuff lately and building pedals has been so helpful to give me small manageable projects. Some of my new meds are making it easier to attempt the more ambitious ones. Thanks for all the kudos, it means a lot.

I don’t have any chicken heads, and I like the aesthetic of the aluminum knobs, the tweed is a nod to the amp, and the rest is to make it look badass.

Dude this rocks! Amazing job making the Tolex look seamless! Would love to see more like this!

Glad the meds are helping, i know how rough a road that can be. I've found solder fumes to be some good medicine as well.

same bro same.... it's a good thing to build pedals and not focus on the other stuff we have swirling in there right?
