Built some new pedals....(pic heavy)

[XSSIVE]

a while back i built a byoc phase 90, a delay and the mighty mouse (rat) and just today i was able to finish them up. i kept the mighty mouse case raw and went to town with some decals i had been saving for just the right thing...rat fink decals, what better name for a rat clone than the rat fink! then i had the idea to do the phase 90 in the style of my charvel bullseye reissue with the brass knob and all. the delay is a combo of two of my Clone brand guitars, the kandy pink from #004 and the stripe pattern from #007 which both went well with the hot rod theme.

enough babble here are all the pics i just shot...

script phase 90 and bullseye charvel...

"hot rod" delay....

Rat Fink rat clone...

Group shot...

oh yeah and before you ask i still haven't spent much time with them (just test to see if they work) to give a good review since i'm not done wiring my new pedal board (pics of that soon when i finish it up...it's just as killer thanks to Kevin at pumaboards!)

It's not right when your pedal collection looks better than my guitar collection! :smack:

Looks great though - Got any pics of the insides? Also you should do a shot of the Hot Rod with Clone #007. Or does the color match with Clone #004?

Nice looking work brother. You are the only guy I know that can make leopard print material from the 70's look good in pics. Usually only large black women can pull that off.

dd...thanks man! as for the guts...nah no pics of them they're pretty neat though. perhaps some wires may be a bit long but the solder joints are all good and clean and i'd give myself a B+ or A- for neatness. i was more worried about good clean solder joints so they work well and how cool they look LOL. the paint color matches #004 and the stripe pattern matches #007 so i didn't know which one to use for the pics LOL.

Jeff...thanks bro...you have NO idea, i have this strange thing for leopard print..i love the stuff lol. just wait...that's all i'll say about leopard print hehehehehe.

Oh hell yeah, bro. That Phase 90 looks killer. All 3 look killer but I really dig the look of the Phase 90. Very cool. All my builds are bare boxes, not even a label....LOL.
