Here's a shot of my completed Tone Bender. I'll post the interior pics in a day or two Sounds good, but I cannot get the voltage in the 4.5V range at the pad. I get a range of 8.5 to 8.9 volts. I'll post that question in the other area.

Oh yeah, Monster! Home run!

very nice! excellent graphics.

would you mind explaining the method you used to get those graphics? thanks.

Well, I can't take all the credit, my wife is pretty good with crafts and helped out. We used Testors waterslide decals (clear) and their sealer for the graphics. The picture of Bender was found on a fan site and the text was done using a font my wife found on dafont.com. She worked the graphic and font in MS Publisher and printed it out on transparencies so we could get the size right and the placement of the LED where we wanted it. I had a couple dozen pictures I found, but I liked the hand position of this pic. After that, we printed it out on the Testors and slid it on.

I learned the lesson about paint thickness which Keith mentions in one of the instructions documents. The first attempt blew up when I hit it with the clear coat and it dissolved the white and gave the whole face a orange peel look. I stripped it back down and started over while utttering a few choice words. The second attempt (the one shown) went well, as I used much less base coat and also did a couple very light shots of clear before we did the decals. Then I just took my time with several light clear coats. The decals are pretty easy to work with, and we'll get better with it on the next pedal.

I'm hooked. Tri-Boost is probably next.

cool. thanks for the info. i just finished my first build last night, which is a Tri Boost, and i was instantly hooked when i pluged it in and it fired up right away.

Oh Yea!!!

I can't believe that this is the first time I'm seeing Bender on a bender. It's genius.
