Hey TBers!

I have been perusing the threads for effects and seeing some nice looking custom paint and finishing jobs that some of you have done to your pedals, but haven't seen a thread dedicated to showing custom painted or finished pedals, so I thought I'd start one.

Now, I don't have any custom ones of my own, so sadly I can't start the thread :bawl: .

Enough of my yappin... Let's boogy! Show off your work!
 
I just posted this one recently, but I'll get the thread rollin'... DAM Ezekial 25:17 clone

Another recent project for a friend, Joyo UD refinish.

On the bottom row are three stones from the movie "The Fifth Element," which now house a Blackeye Effects Palmetto boost, a Fuzzrocious Demon, and a basic bypass looper made for me by Fuzzrocious. I have the fourth and last Fifth Element stone as well but haven't rehoused anything in it yet. Fuzzrocious did a limited run of etched boxes that included these, so I got the Demon and looper in them and picked up a couple of empties for rehousing.

Top left is an EQD Dispatch Master rehoused in a TARDIS (from Dr. Who). Since the EQD's usual enclosure is decorated with a telephone, I thought it was a perfect match. This was done by Handsome Beard Etching, the same etcher who did the Fifth Element stones, and I specifically had him "weather" the box to match the stones. Bigger photo of that one:

All rehousing work done by Top Dog Effects (i.e. my dad and I), except for the etching.
 
Here's the housing for a custom bluebeard I did before it was drilled. The LED went in the cyborg eye.

and the finished pedal.
