After spending more time than I'll admit on not very complicated graphics, I am pleased with the way this one turned out.  The graphics combined with the textured black enclosure fit this pedal pretty well, IMHO.

That looks great, nice work! What type of decal is that?

It's actually a laser etched finish.

That looks great! Love the design of the enclosure and sweet execution inside and out :o

Looks fantastic. Super clean, both inside and out. The laser etching is slick. Are you able to do this yourself or do you have to have a shop with the right equipment do it?

I do the layout myself in Adobe Illustrator and then etch it at work (when I can get access to the machine).  Most modern trophy shops can do it as well.  GrindCustoms (member here) has it done by a guy local to him for a few bucks an enclosure.

That looks amazing. The new layout for the Chunk seems to work well. Any noise issues?

It makes me kinda sad, though. Mostly on a 'I had to wire one up the hard way, so they should have to as well!' way.

Yep, that is correct.  I did this particular layout.  No noise issues yet, but I need to try it in a few different environments.

Congrats.  Looks badass.  Like that would be the Andy James signature pedal look.
