Members WWW Posted June 12, 2014 Members Share Posted June 12, 2014 Rehoused these in B&W, puritan style... Set up a mini board that was actually pretty fun to play and mad me consider downsizing (then after a few moments I realized that's not gonna happen): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members magnum pi Posted June 12, 2014 Members Share Posted June 12, 2014 That's actually pretty cool and also a pretty dang awesome setup. I would have kept the trifect in orange and swaped the tone press for something swirly but more importantly how did you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Wow, those look like factory-done enclosures and graphics - excellent work! I would also love to read the details about how you did such an outstanding job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WWW Posted June 14, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2014 Thanks guys. It was actually pretty easy to do. 1. Order appropriate size enclosures from mammoth 2. Remove guts from pedals (AC jack and/or LED may need to be de-soldered to remove) 3. Measure holes from old enclosure 4. Mark and drill holes in new enclosure 5. Spray new enclosure with several coats of paint 6. Find high-res photo of pedal (I used prymaxes photos - they have highest res and straight on angled photos) 7. Use photoshop to size, re-color and touch up graphic 8. Print graphic on sticker-paper (waterslide decals can be used but I murdered all of mine ) 9. Place printed sticker carefully on enclosure 10. Spray several coats of clear acrylic over sticker and enclosure 11. Reinstall guts in new enclosure 12. Rawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WWW Posted August 28, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2014 Did up my hog a few days ago. I had to use a different method this time. I politely emailed EHX and asked them for a blank, empty enclosure and their response, as I expected, was no. What I didn't expect, is the tone of their answer. Pretty snooty. Anyhow, pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 So how did you finally get it done? Once again, it really looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WWW Posted September 4, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks guys. I deleted the email with the response from EHX, but it was very similar to: "No, unfortunately we don't provide parts for you to mod our pedals." The trick to this one is I had to preserve the original enclosure. So I removed the guts and covered the top part of the enclosure in painters tape, very carefully aligning each piece and stretching it around the edges. Then I used some sticker paper with a PS edited high res photo to cover the painters tape. Cut the holes with an exacto and stuck it on. I think the results came out OK, but it's not very durable as I don't want to spray any clear coat and risk damaging the original enclosure. I'm considering looking for some specialty clear tape or some clear UV window tint. Haven't really bothered with it recently though. More to follow...
