Cleggy did the board (I wanted nothing to do with this!), I just did the box and dropped it in there. It's actually really rather cool.
Madbean Rustbucket PCB. Not for the feint of heart!

I really liked the decal so shuffled some effects to build this one. It's got my old Jumbo Tonebender from the Fuzzy Kitten in there (the kitten has the ICBM back in there again), and a Big Omar.

Quite bold to solder in the 3080 chips on the Rustbucket :o
Excellent looking pedals 8)
We used to be able to get them quite readily and for sensible money and the board's been populated for months. ;) Probably wouldn't be so brave these days.
I've still got a dozen CA3080's sitting in my stash (got in on a group buy on another forum.)
Very elegantly done, as always! Why did you want no part of the rustbucket, John?
Oh, and you know what I'm looking forward to seeing :D
I just took one look at it and went ....nah... ;)
Though strangely I'm looking forward to the other thing. That said it might be a while, all sorts of stuff going on for the next few weeks that's just gonna get in the way of building anything major.
That fuzz boost decal reminds me of the Martian chronicals by Ray Bradbury . Awesome book btw. Google it and click images. Lots of similar pictures. Nice work.
That big knob must cost a lot.
Awesome and awesome!

Art is from NASA :)
Little knobs are about £1 each, big one is under £2 if I recall correctly. They're really quite reasonable.
Your decals are always immaculate! Please teach me your secrets; are there certain brands I should be using? Is there a tutorial I should read?

Thanks for the link. These aren't water slide decals?

I was thinking the same thing. I thought you had to slide those straight onto the surface of the pedal.
Nope they're transparent adhesive 'paper' (they call it that, but it's actually more of a very thin film).
The stuff we get is from CraftyComputerPaper in the UK. But there are many different suppliers and types. Some work well, some do not. The current stuff we're using is much less sticky and thinner than the stuff we used to use for example. In some respects it's better (easier to apply/re-apply), in others it isn't (surface isn't as rough as the old stuff so the Envirotex doesn't adhere to it quite as well so you have to be more carful when re-drilling so it doesn't lift).
I'd buy a few different local manufacturers stuff and see who makes the best stuff.
Damn son.. damn.

Both look great but the the Attack/Decay is outstanding!
Is the film you use for laser or ink jet printing?
Ink Jet, but you can get laser also.
how do you avoid the ink running when you pour the envirotex over the labels?
I tried some ink jet sticker paper a while back but couldn't varnish over it with acrylic or oil based gloss...
The Envirotex doesn't react with the ink. Never had an issue with that.
same here. the ET apparently also does nothing to stop the UV so all my blue labels of yesteryear are now stylishly purple. :)
Great looking pedals as always! What font is that for the Attack / Decay?

Eurostile bold. I squashed it a little vertically and I had to rasterise and cut the gap between the TT manually. Not sure what EHX used originally but it's as close as I could find.

I've used water slide decals with an ink jet printer in the past. Most places that sell the paper will also sell a fixative. A light coat will protect the ink against acrylic or polyurethane.

Looks great! I thought it was the exact font ;-)
thanks for the info guys. FYI there is an 'extended' font of Eurostile which will get you that 70s EHX vibe perfectly...

Ooooh, handy that (and also available from other sites for free with a little googlage). Cheers!
