1000 competition !!

[Jdansti]

You are all mad.

You too.

And beautiful.

Yes we are.

[Beo]

it really is a booby prize but is in keeping with the compo theme...

A booby prize?!! So you're saying I've got a chance!!! That's really swell Artifus!

I know this was a lot of fun (and stress) for me, and probably so for everyone else who entered. I truly spent the full three+ months working on this, and I'm making it up to my wife now (no new projects, at least until summer is over). I loved seeing all the other entries, and I'm guessing we've got a lot of observers also enjoying watching this excruciatingly long wait for a winner!

Cheers!
Travis (aka Beo)

Super impressive, dudes. Gotta say, interpreting the 'end of the world' as a place, rather than a time, was brilliant! Everyone's pedal has a long list of compliments I could give. What a crew, inspiring builds y'all!

[Beo]

So I've been asked by some folks for the code I used. It's messy and I'm a little embarrassed to show it. I barely finished on time, and I have not gone back to clean out crap I had in there. You have no idea how many times I pressed F7 to rebuild... I must have tripped over every mistake there is to make. Anyways, I used Peter Fleury's LCD library here:

Here's my code:

Just don't chew on Rob's weenie.

ew, it looks like somebody already did...

Just don't chew on Rob's weenie. 

Remember.... Rob is from the UK

I believe they are "bangers" not weenies!! 

And NO..... I limit my anxiety over waiting long periods of time for decisions to just finger nails

[cloudscapes]

seeing everybody's entries and how they work is prize enough! 

yeah yeah, awwwwwwwwwwwkitchcheesyfauxhumble 

[Beo]

I ran out of time, but I though of submitting a second entry using the other interesting Hammond enclosure I got... its the trapezoidal shaped box, the 1590TRPB. I never did decide on a circuit, but my idea was to make it a demon head with horns extending from the top fat side. It would be cool if I could custom make curved pedalboard cables/plugs shaped like the horns, and red glow knob-eyes.

[pakrat]

@Beo Maybe you can still do that, would be interesting to see. By the way, I think your DHARMA pedal is awesome! It makes me want to watch Lost all over again.

[haveyouseenhim]

It would be awesome if u make it look like the robot devil from Futurama.

[pakrat]

Now we're talkin!

[Beo]

It would be awesome if u make it look like the robot devil from Futurama.

That's so great! A robot devil!!!

@pakrat, thanks, I'm glad you liked the theme. It fits the hexagon so well.

Looking at all this stuff...  man, I'm nowhere near this level of expertise.
Great work! Me jealous.

Mine is built into the "BB" version of that trapezoid case, the picture is just taken a bit too close for it to appear properly.

It also occurred to me that Skeeter Davis might not be known in every corner of the world, and the joke might left unnoticed, so here is Skeeter singing her best known song..

edit. And gongratulations to everyone, your pedals look awesome, my shoulders kept on sinking every time a new contestant was posted.
