WOW, I nearly forgot about these!!

Went from :mrgreen: , to :shock: , then back to :mrgreen: ! GREAT call Donner with the autumnal inspiration, right up my north eastern continental alley, though I agree, John's initial acid wash treatment looked quite appealing as is...kinda gave it an industrial-folk funk to the look.

Black bottom plates...very cool indeed... now that's a nice call...me thinks it's not too early to say this WILL be the best stocking stuffer this X-mas from Saint John and Donner Clause!! :lol:

i knew i should have gotten in on this project :oops:

nice work Donner -- your pedal art is my favorite in the world!




no Fuzz with Eva but damn this is one of the best recordings ever, actually got a tear first time I heard it. The point counter point with the guitar and piano on the instrumental is flawless....

This is killing me. I can't wait to actually the the kit in my hands. Hopefully I won't mess it up too bad as it's my first build attempt.

There's a lot of Eva Cassidy on Youtube and many (mostly posthumous release) recordings available. If that voice doesn't break your heart, you're already dead.

As I´ve said before these look awesome!
One question, will they be pre drilled?
If not, will there be exact instructions of where to drill the holes? (To get a perfect and tight fit for the battery, one needs to get the footswitch 100% correct!)
If possible I would prefer mine predrilled.

Once again, fantastic looking little boxes :D

These will all be pre-drilled for a perfect fit of all the parts. I made a drilling template special for this project.
