Hey guys! Just wanted to share with you a video we shot for my company showing how we build pedals!
This is a Microtubes B3K, a CMOS based overdrive!

great video and good looking pedal too. do you order your stickers or do you make them. and do you hole punch them or cut them with a press die or cnc die cut

I dont think that's a sticker.  It looks like a sheet of plastic to me.  Am I right?

Noup! hehe, is a custom made, silk screened, anodized aluminum plate .

Cheers and thanks for watching and commenting!

Cool vid! Somebody asked me the other day how long it takes to make a handwired pedal. I told them that it should be possible within 2 hours, IF I didn't make any of my usual mistakes. This confirms that it can be done now just do it...

Somehow, it takes a little bit of the magic of the very neat finished box...demystify I guess is the word. On the other hand, it's quite reassuring that such quality can still be delivered through hand work. Do you always work one pedal at a time, or do you 'parallel' builds as well?

Thanks for commenting! For sure it can be done, even in less, the B3K has over 70 components, which is  way more than your average YATS for example.
I usually work in batches, I did one for that video just to show the process. But I usually work in series of 20 or more at the time .

Cheers!

Very entertaining.
Wish my work bench was as neat as that one.

I really need to clean up that whole room one of these days.
