Howdy everyone, I've been lurking for a few weeks and decided to register and post some pics. I picked up a pair of SR225s and built a CMOY which I put inside an old distortion pedal I had from my guitar playing days. Besides headphones I'm also big into 12V audio as well. I've done a few IASCA and MECA SQ competitions with my car and brought home 3 trophies. The Grado's were an excellent way to get my SQ fix since I'm at school (Penn State) and my car is at home. Anyway, here's some pics.

The last picture is the CD player I've been using. That thing blows the iPod and Macbook out of the water. I can't stand using my Macbook, it's so freaking noisy! But a USB DAC is out of the question for a while, they're too expensive. This stupid weather we've been getting in the East has kept me from going to the local indoor farmer's market to see if they have a 1001 PS1. Plus I want to get some cheap CD's.

Were those the original knobs in the pedal?
The fact they are recessed is intriguing because people usually adjust the knobs with feet while playing (as I'm sure you know) so it's very interesting.

On the other hand, welcome, and props on the original case idea

Thanks for the welcome everyone!!

Those are the original knobs, however they aren't functional. I would have liked to use the original volume pot, but it's only one channel. So I gutted it and glued the knobs back on just for looks.

Congrats on the SR225, they are great headphones.

Thanks everyone. I'm jamming out right now trying to ease my pain after the pitiful performance by the Steelers today.

Of all the headphones I've bought and sold I miss the SR225's the most

I like the setup. At first when I saw the label "Distortion" I thought it was a joke about the volume dial just adding distortion to the output
