Reminds me of a G&L Legacy I used to own - don't miss the guitar much (I've played much better G&Ls than the one I owned), but damn, I miss the paint job! I'm impressed to see something similar in a stompbox.
Haha...I love when people use that phrase. I need to use it more often...
The green is sweet! It's a little greener in person than shows in the picture. I wanted it to look like the custom pedal with the death's head on it that you can find on the first page of this thread. Tom remembered the color and custom-ordered the job (it's powder-coated apparently, so extra-durable) - it turned out great. Because the green is a little translucent, you can see through to some of the slight variations in the color of the metal box (or maybe it's variations in the paint - whatever, it's great). Green is my favorite color so I thought I'd go for it and I'm glad I did!
Wish I picked a better name...
'74 Guild Starfire IV -> 3Leaf Audio GR2 -> Wampler Ego Compressor -> Blackout Effectors Whetstone -> Algal Bloom/Scarab Deluxe/MXR Classic 108 -> Super Chili Picoso -> Dirty Little Secret Mk. I -> Malekko Ekko 616 -> Vox AC15C1
One not recorded I thought I would share, I had a Snakes hand painted XS a while back and it was one of those pedals you regret trading/selling. One night saw this on Reverb and jumped. Guy listed it as having issues. Must not be use to fuzz because it works perfectly.
I bought a blank box to use the back for velcro so I don't ruin the painted back, did the same for my Sun Face and thought it would be a good idea here. The Snakes XS I had was what turned me to Fuzz in the 1st place and glad to have another one finally!
