Hell of a tough act to follow, but finally making some progress on this. Don't know if my head isn't in the game or what but making tons of mistakes on this build and it's turning into more about covering mistakes than making it right the first time. Obeche sucks balls and will dent if you even...
This is where I'm at these days, picking guitar back up again after not really playing for almost a year. Still working on technique and never really was an effect guy anyway. The Lokai audio pedal is a Sunn Life clone and it's rowdy.
Invest in some Grobet files, they'll last forever. Get a small selection of cut 4 or cut 6 square and 3 square files and you'll be very happy, they're a joy to use and leave a great finish. They also have an Inox line that is 72 Rockwell C hardness, literally can file other files with them.
