This is my 3rd pedal now, and the first one I've completed to the 'Not going to pull it apart again in the near future' stage...  I tried waterslide decals and for the first time and 'baked' the paintjob in a mini oven with pleasing results. (Thats if you dont count the other enclosure which got... overcooked ::) )
Sounds really awesome, I highly recommend the build. :)

Great job! Decals turned out great, are they inkjet?

Might have to get them a try. Where did you get them?

From a model shop... just asked for 'waterslide decal paper' and they knew what that meant.  It was $6 a sheet so I filled a whole page worth of pedal names and labels to print in one go... and I just used our basic laser printer at home

Awesome job for a 3rd build. Wish I can achieve such a high quality build...
Do you use a vector drawing software?

Wow thanks night-butterfly! No I wish... I used paper and a ruler with a pencil for the drill template, mapped by eye pretty much, and then the drill press at work.  The Decals are small and able to move around before they set too which makes for some leeway in the graphics dept  :)

I meant vector for your decal design...  Or maybe a beautiful font?

That is amazing work, esp. considering it is your 3rd build. Those fat wires are neat, too. Is that 20g?

Just various fonts and GIMP.  The fonts were 'Velcro', 'Foo' and 'Impossibilium', just found them online somewhere for free :)

Thanks Madbean, these are great projects and really easy to follow pdfs, I've learned lots from this site and forum! ;D  The wire is a mix, the blue stuff is 13x0.12mm from a 25m roll I bought.  The red & black is slightly thicker, but I'm not sure of the gauges sorry

Yeah, your decal is amazing.  I initally thought it was silk screened.

The graphics line up perfectly as well (something i ALWAYS have trouble with).  I love the different colored knobs too.

Great looking build man! Good job!
