Title: Need ideas
Post by: musiclikscreams on September 02, 2013, 11:36:28 AM
I recently got a bunch of blem enclosures from mammoth. Unfortunately one of em is hot pink. There's no way I'm putting hot pink anything on my board. I was gonna just sand it down and repaint it but was wondering if anyone had any cool ideas of things I could do with it instead.

Ideas for non-pedal uses of the enclosure? Or ideas to get rid of the paint besides sanding? I would make some hellish octave down doom machine in that pink box and proudly put it on display and own that sh*t. Let everyone else catch up.

Yeah, I guess a pink buffer is a bit of a let down. :D   Do you have a dremel or similar thing? You can experiment or practice with your metal brush techniques before sanding it all off.

One does want a hint of color on their pedal board.   ::)

How about applying some heat for that pink bugger? Might save some elbow grease. Also, who knows, what kind of color/texture burned pink provides.

Lots of stickers, or just gaffa tape if you're not feeling that creative. I'm guessing as it's for a buffer it won't be stomped on, so therefore won't need a hard-wearing finish.

Only he who is truly comfortable with his masculinity has hot pink on his pedal board.

First thing that crossed my mind: "Big Muff Pi"

Yeah, I know. Blame it on Electro-Harmonix


Seriously, build a pedal of some sort and put it on ebay or something. Someone will buy it.

I have a hot pink enclosure that I am planning to use.  My wife is a nurse in a breast cancer clinic, so we have lots of pink-themed items in my house.

Pink as a feminine colour is a fairly recent construct. We're all building pedals using older analogue technology, but it's still thru-hole. lol

I`ll take it off your hands.

I`m color blind, (Now... do I cut the red wire, or the blue wire?)

and deaf. (I can see your lips moving, but I can`t hear you insulting my pedalboard.)

Yeah, hot pink would really spruce up my board. :icon_cool:

If your masculinity is so fragile and sensitive that the color pink destroys it, maybe you're not very masculine. Just sayin'.  ;D

i just don't like the color pink.  i do find it feminine but thats not really the issue.  i'm down w/ purple... just pink... especially HOT pink makes me feel like i'm trying to say something.  what that something is... i don't know but i don't want to say anything. i just want a damn buffer thats all
