The Great Destroyer- Start to finish FINISHED

Post by aen »

When you build a great Destroyer, first open your big box of parts and marvel it the pile it makes.

Image

Image
Bag of POt s


Image
Image
Then mark through the template so you can drill that bitch

Image
Image

Start with some pilot holes, so your bits dont go ZZZZZZZZZZZ all over the boxx.
Image

Holes for pots and LED bezels can be done straight away!
Image

Image
PRETTY

Then do the jacks/swtch
Image
Image
Image
These hole smake a lot of noise, so you have to do them whemn your kids are up, or they will wake up and scream and your wife will yell at you for being stupid.
Image
OH HOW PRETTY!

Then you gotta rough that shit up with sandpaper, for the next step
Image


Image
PAINTIN' Be sure to do it outside, even though it's cold or your wife will yell at you for the stink. Set the stencil on te box!

Image
Paint 'em!

Then go inside and label the backplates.
Image
Image

Then, you probably have about half an hour to kill. after that, clear coat EVERYTHING!
Image

Image
PRETTY

Next is stickin in the things that stick out.
Image
Image

Oh, pretty.

then its on to the circuit boards!

love the sober non boutique look and just the three letters on the box instead of the full name and all, it's like the mystery box that just makes angry sounds

Darn, I bought an Ultralord in haste when I should have waited and bought a Great Destroyer. And to think we both rock a Bjorn, too.

That is exactly what he means. The price is $80 for the pedal, then he'll charge accordingly for shipping overseas.
