None of my outboard gear looks pretty. Although I do have a couple custom stomp boxes that are beautiful. There's an engineer I've worked with a few times though that designs for UA who had a prototype preamp he hand painted that he called "The Magic Bus". That's definitely the prettiest piece of outboard gear I've seen.

+1 on the Hamptone JFET, which would look even better witha Hamptone tube pre next too it.

The Distressor with those proportionately huge white dial knobs.

The electrix stuff, especially racked next to each other, the mofx,filterfactory, warpfactory, repeater.. looks like the second attempt to revive the firm is on the rocks again.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you're talking about the wall to wall gear pic. That's a picture from a guy's studio in Columbia that was posted on gearsluts in a "whose got the biggest" thread..

Hell, the Tascam 424 MKII is the sexiest looking cassette four tracker...

I suppose my vote for the sexiest 4-track would be for the Tascam 246:
