There's plenty more Simpsons stuff coming up. This isn't one of those though. This is a refresh of my Bojack Horseman Klon Centaur. When I made the first one, I had to use gold spray paint, since I couldn't find gold powder coated enclosures. It was getting pretty beat up, so I got a fresh new enclosure for it.

I feel like I'm going to need to give you more money at some point with these pedals.

Quoting myself because it's a continuation of thought but not actually related to my original thought...

I'm currently building a Tube Screamer kit (with mods) and I was just thinking... Is there a cartoon of a screaming tube anywhere? :w00t:

If you think about it, aren't we all just screaming tubes of flesh?
Anyway, here's some graphics I put together for the tube screamer I haven't made yet, featuring Slimer from the old Ghostbusters cartoon/Hi-C packaging.

Oh, man... Ecto-Cooler definitely contributed to the degradation of my pancreas... LOL

I can't draw worth a poo but I was thinking like if you had an anthropomorphized 12AX7 looking like it was screaming. LOL

Much better!!

EDIT: Also, for the newer EQD circuits, do you also do the flexi-switching for these?
I don't. I looked at the breakout board options at pedalpcb, and they don't have anything for that. I suspect that since EQD has a patent on that switching, it would be a bad idea for pedalpcb to offer it.
They probably do. I remember seeing someone selling a little bypass utility board that basically did Flexi-switching. I was trying to find the link in case you were interested, but I can't seem to find it right now...

Of course, right as I give up, I find it. It's not a PCB, but a completed module. I feel like I remember a PCB as well, but that might just be my imagination...

https://shop.mas-effects.com/products/relay-bypass
So, I was taking advantage of a 15% off sale at pedalpcb yesterday, to buy more boards, and I noticed that the site recommended this Relay Bypass Module, which seems to offer something similar to the EQD flex switching. So, I went ahead and added one to my cart, to try out on one of the EQD boards I was buying. I just need to decide which one now. I'll have boards for "The Depths" optical vibrato, "Disaster Transport Jr" delay, "Levitation" reverb, and "Sea Machine" chorus. My first thought is to put it in the delay.

Anyway, here's an EQD Ghost Echo with "Bleeding Gums" Murphy on it.

The Nobels being the Nashville pedal, I went with Colonel Homer, manager for Lurleen Lumpkin.

Cowabunga dudes!

Here's a brand new pedal I built. It's a clone of the Catalinbread Formula 5F6, so it's a Tweed Bassman circuit. It has Hans Moleman graphics, and I call it "Hans Bassman". The board is a "Tweed Man Overdrive" from pedalpcb. I'm really thrilled with how this one turned out!

That's awesome!!!

I just thought of an idea for you. If you ever do a ping pong delay, and continue the Simpsons trend, the graphic should be Jasper (that's a paddlin'" :D A copy of an EQD Talons could be Sam Eagle from The Muppets too. Using cartoon and pop-culture characters could really be endless here 8)
