Nice idea with the eyes, shame that some control labels are occluded by the knobs.
right, no matter how hard I try I seem to either make the text small enough so it's not but too small to read or obscured by knobs. This time the top 2 labels aren't obscured too badly this time.


Nice. 

I always add a "hardware" layer to my graphics that shows the knobs and switches so they don't cover up the labels.  Then I print the graphic on paper and use it to mark the enclosure for drilling.  If all goes well, the knobs and switches end up where they're supposed to and the graphics are visible. 

It doesn't work as well when you build before you decide what knobs to use.

Evil LED eyes FTW!

And yes, I do the same thing: I create hardware layer (sometimes layers) to see exactly how it is going to lay out before I print or etch the graphics.
sadly, so do I. It doesn't always work out as planned.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.
