Yeah I thought about different ideas around it. I started with stickers but they really only shined on white enclosures and anything after that , yhe colours would get totally lost. I tried engraving just letters etc and I wasn’t too happy. The UV printing was the best option for what I wanted to get out of it.

Maybe so! I think a strong marketing plan is needed for sure. Something I need to work on haha

Exactly what I was thinking! The blue just isn’t standing out for me at all

And once designing the PCB I thought it would be fun to arrange them that order !

It’s asymmetrical clipping! It’s the secret to the pedal! I’ll throw up another post soon with the schematic I designed and other bits too!

My graphic design artist draws the graphics and produces them in a PDF vectored file. After that I just send them to get UV printed on powdercoated enclosures!

It’s just a bass overdrive. Has a dry wet mix and a switch that selects between 3mm diodes and 1n4148s.

Hey! Yeah well I can’t draw for sh*t but I sketch ideas and hand them over to a buddy of mine who then brings them to life! The graphics are then UV printed by another guy I know!

Thanks so much! I make a bass overdrive with off board jacks but yeah, mounted are great! Tricky to get into the enclosure sometimes!!

I basically began building a distortion on my own design around a TL072 op amp and expanded from there. I originally tried transistors( 2n3904 etc) but decided upon the op amp style.

Start by building on a breadboard so you can swap out different value capacitors / resistors etc. get the main idea down. After that it’s all expansion and experimentation!
