Title: CLIP ADDED. Choices choices (pedal stuff).
Post by: Lew on August 17, 2012, 10:43:45 PM: Alreet dudes?

I've got a couple of pedals on the way from Mr.Solo and we're (him really) working out the art. Here are a few choices. Hope he doesn't mind me posting these as they're just mock-ups John has done to give an idea. They're obviously not the finished thing. I think they all look great.

You can vote twice (one for each pedal).

The pedals (in case it makes a difference) are a SVT/QotSA Drive (based on a Catalinbread SFT) and an UltraStoner (based on a Skreddy ? Lady). The TotalRecall graphic would clearly be best kept for a delay but it's just too funny :lol:

Post by: Lew on August 18, 2012, 10:22:40 PM: Yea, the TotalRecall picture really does seem to belong there. If it was a valve pedal some Ubars on the sides would look rad.

I'd totally buy a pedal with either of those pictures on the front.

Post by: Philly Q on August 20, 2012, 11:23:23 PM: I really thought the first picture was a very irritated Ian Anderson!

I've just realised (from a Blu-ray cover) that it's somebody from something called Breaking Bad?

Post by: Philly Q on August 21, 2012, 02:01:25 AM: I do recognize him from Malcolm in the Middle - a rare case of an American TV show I've actually watched a few times. But I never would've realised it was the same guy if you hadn't said!

My theory is it's viral advertising for some really really bad acid

that is the brilliance of breaking bad - he starts of quite like the dad in MITM, then its all a very interesting transition into something much much darker.

although i was hoping we would be reaching the end soon, but they have done that thing where they split a final series in two and give them a massive break inbetween.

Post by: puma_21 on August 29, 2012, 05:39:40 PM: This is the last season?? Personally I'd like to see the show carry on for ages. There hasn't been any writing as good and grippingly intense as this show for a loooong time, IMO

Post by: juansolo on September 01, 2012, 10:23:23 AM: Not finished yet (it'll take a week for the coating to cure). I'm really pleased with the way a certain aspect of one of them has come out. If it's near invisible when it's installed (hopefully...) it'll be AWESOME. ;)
