I'll soon be putting the finishing touches to a stompbox I've lashed up and was wondering what the favourite colours are for stompboxes.

It's just a plain brushed aluminium box that will have creme knobs. I was thinking a dark chocolate brown myself, but I may well be in the minority there :lol:

Anyone?

:twisted:

Bright red......

Totally depends on the effect itself :P
Tie die style is the best though!
Red and chrome?
Black?

I don't care what effect pedals look like. No one seems them.

I prefer something very bright so you can see them on a (very) dark stage situation. So anything white, red, yellow or orange or so would be fine with me.

I like bright colours - bright reds, electric pink, lime green, violent orange. 8)

A nice pale blue would be right I think.

I painted my swell pedal in EVH style stripes but in dayglow yellow and green... but it chipped really badly in my case. So I tried to sand it down to the bare metal... now it looks $%&#ING AWESOME. Ill post up some pictures when I chill the $%&# out for 5 mins

my advise to you is to make it look like a brick...

or cover it in ham

I heartily endorse this idea.

As a vegetarian I couldn't condone the use of ham in this way.

Try it with tofu ;)
