I will be attempting to apply my own custom graphics to the pedal enclosure for my next build— a clone of the EQD/ SunnO))) Life pedal. I’ve decided to name it “Bahamat” after watching a video on the Muslim influence on Irish folklore that drew a comparison between the Bible’s Behemoth and the Muslim Bahamat, a world-sized demon that may be benign solely due to its dwarfing anything in human reckoning. This is, of course, also a nod to SunnO)))’s “Flight of the Behemoth” and an implication of the sound of the pedal.
Version 1 is designed for ferric chloride etching. No color other than the LEDs. This one’s got the lesser room for F-ups.
Version 2 is definitely a busier design which will require screen-printing and likely clear-coating but more thought went into the graphic details of this one than V1.
It’s got the classic Black/ White/ Red palette, mild op-art elements, and a photo of the Pope’s audience hall with its highly inappropriate snake appearance (I’m not equating the Pope with the serpent. They did that. I’m just appropriating the image for my own corny metaphoring). The snake’s eyes align with the placement of the LEDs because they have to. Graphic ripples emanate from each knob.
This one would be the most fun to present as the final product. The I-did-that factor.
But there’s a lot of soldering between this post and whatever the final product ends up looking like.
