So, in a similar vein, can I get some ideas for a "Boris" pedal, since we're about to have our very own UK-version of Trump?
Edit:  Just go with this graphic.

I would think a 1590A claiming to be the biggest pedal ever would be more appropriate.  :icon_razz:

A 1590DD pedal, but with 1590A hands.   ;D

I wonder if duckie's pedal upholstery skills extend to a blond comb-over?   ???         ;)

I see two problems with this - colour matching [where to find that orange?] and the sculpting needed on the quiff. and as far as doing the hair on a boris - no.

It's really quite simple.  You make Trump hair out of cotton candy, and you make Boris hair out of candy floss.  :icon_wink:

Duck would have to make it out of fairy floss, I think.  Probably wouldn't look right.  :icon_razz:

I'm not too sure you'd find an enclosure thick enough either

As far as a Trump pedal goes, this one would be very hard to beat:
http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=116468.msg1079499#msg1079499

Not even close.  First off, that pedal is TINY. A Trump pedal would be BIG.  HUGE!  1590BB minimum (preferably 1590XX).  And Beautifull...  it would make your playing great again!

Oh, and all text decals would have to be in CAPS.

Possible names:

WITCH HUNT DISTORION
........
CHEETOH IN CHIEF RAT

Some ideas...

a person could build a trump themed sample and hold type bitcrushing thing. it could be named [I'm not sure we haven't had this already, but oldies are goodies] .....

snatch and grab 'em. [it was Eric's idea.]

aw, come on, duck.  You can take credit for your own stable genius ideas.   :icon_razz:

Idea: a Pitch Pirate pedal with arrrgyle graphics.

Example:

That particular pattern is copyrighted (and not by me).  You should come up with your own instead of pirating it, of course.  :icon_razz:

No Trump pedal is complete without a COVFEFE knob.

I'd love to see someone use the word "spatchcock" either in a pedal name or as a control label.

I've got an idea that this name would be great for. I still need to breadboard it, but the name would work perfectly! I was also contemplating the name Ro Sham Bo for it...

I guess that beats out the knob labeled "Floccinaucinihilipilification".

Perhaps "Alfred Spatchcock" and the graphic has Hitchcock's head on a chicken body :)

I'd like to see a pedal with incredibly verbose control labeling.

For example, instead of "Volume", label it "Turn this knob clockwise to make the output sound louder"

Ok.  One more idea for this morning. 

Recently, I was reading the Dr. Seuss story "Too Many Daves" to my son, and thought it would be great to have a pedal with lots of knobs labeled "Dave" (this is sort of like my "I am Groot" and "Big Smurf Pi" ideas).  For graphics, there is this lovely illustration in the book of kids (Dave and Dave) playing with a pocket knife:

Or the Monty Python version where every knob is labeled "Bruce".

Friggin' component sockets that are magnetized or expandable. Just drop them on/in your pads, do your business, remove and solder in the chosen part.

You mean your pedals' knobs aren't all labeled "Bruce"? That's got to be a bit confusing.
