NPD - Tweed covered overdrive

4114Effects

I don't always post pictures of my pedal builds, but here's one I thought was lovely enough to show off. 

Had some tweed fabric left over from an amp build, so I've had a go at covering a pedal and lacquering, which has worked pretty well ...

It's a tweaked version of the Lovepedal Les Lius in there - minus some of the very unnecessary parts he seems to include. Sounds lovely, but who cares when it looks this nice!

That really is stunning

Sassafras

Looks a damn sight better than the Lovepedal stuff.

I love the look of your builds Dan , amps and fx always look first class!

That is fucking brilliant.

That looks boss. Do you get someone to make the little faceplates for you, or is it something you can do yourself?

I make them myself

This looks ace Dan - is this for your own board or are you selling it?

Thought the guts were worth a look too - tried to make it look amp-like inside ...

That's a nice, simple-looking circuit. What did you use?

As in what circuit did I base it on, or what materials did I use to build the layout?

robinbowes

The former...

Actually, both

Lovepedal Les Lius - except he uses a good amount of unnecessary parts to make it look more complicated than it is, so I've removed them and streamlined a good amount.

Circuit is PTFE board with PCB headers pinned in. Simple but effective!

Amazing finish!  What does the switch do?

Going to that amount of effort on the inside bit that no one will ever really see is truly brilliant.

Switches in different diode combinations to change the overdrive amount/character

Cool!

Very cool! Never seen a tweed/tolex covered pedal before. Works well in my book!
