Got some more interesting projects planned for after this, more hands on
I think text extending outside the background image is a winner
I couldn't think of a space theme, I was thinking "what's some space bollocks?" and ended my quest there
I have a guitar playing friend who works in the space industry so I might gift it to him
Maybe worth a look if you just want a cheap alternative, that looks quite good.
I finished wiring the board this evening, then checked for continuity and that there were no shorts between the header pins. Popped in the TL072 - 9V and 5V present in the correct places, and both bypass and dry signal pass through as expected. Popped a PT2399 in the delay 2 position and we have echo. Tried another one in the same spot and that was good too, so installed them both and had some fun playing - loads of fun!
I've set up the tape speed switch roughly and it's most impressive when used with a longer delay and the repeats set high - proper spaceship launch fun. I'll probably go back and tweak that for quicker response if I can.
All was well until I tried to coax the board into position and fit the base plate. Every time I did so I was getting intermittent squelchy oscillation. I thought lead dress was to blame for a while but then I realised it was one of the delay chips. I tried another one from the pack and it was fine.
So here you have it, my first delay pedal build, the most complicated pedal I've ever attempted, and though I say it myself, my best-looking to date. And yes I totally stole the idea for the decal from the J Rockett Clockwork.

@Cookiemonster I sort of swore off those mini builds. It's nice when they're done though
I have had a less successful night, having boxed up my Vox Repeater. It is working on battery power but not DC so I'll have to do some debugging
I want it for the odd recording effect which is why I wired it for battery power. Don't normally bother but there's no way it's going on a pedal board
This is the one I did. A SHO. Sold it to someone on here who was looking for one. He was happy with it. Haven't heard back from him so I assume it's still doing the thing
