Hi guys. I'm new to pedal building. I started with BYOC for simplicity sake, and I've got a bunch of Madbean boards now backed up that I plan to build.
I'm learning a ton on this forum and just wanted to thank everyone for their amazing help with their information, tips and tricks. In terms of finishes, I always wanted to make my pedals look cool (or at least give it a shot as opposed to using an unfinished enclosure with labels on it!
I just wanted to share the finishes I've done. I'm very happy with my first attempts at building and finishing.
The first is the BYOC Chorus. I had a very talented lady named Christel Chan do the painting for me. Christel does Graphic Design/Illustration and other artwork. She came up with the design after we discussed the basic ideas I wanted. She did a great job!
I wish I could have done a better job on the Envirotex finish, but this was my first attempt so I did what I could. It's a little wobbly and uneven in some parts, but the paint job is nice and protected.
The second pedal is the BYOC FET (AWESOME pedal!)
For this one I wanted to try a decal. I found this Godzilla movie poster and thought it would work well.
The sun at the top was nicely positioned so that the LED would be in the center. I changed out the red LED and used a yellow instead. I bought a bunch of knobs and these ones seem to work well, but I may end up getting green ones later.
