So my resolution this year was to build less pedals than I did last year. I'm not doing so well, here are the pedals I finished this month:
Dig Dug 2

Wolf Ball (Wolfshirt & 8-Ball)

Screaming Rat (Tube Screamer & Slow Loris)

Mudbomb (Mudbunny & Cherry Bomb)

Don't worry about what this one is ;)

Lamprey

Nice builds, friend!
Tell me about the graphics. Is there a how-to around here somewhere?
What part are you looking for help on? Let me know, I'll try to help with what I can.
I use photoshop and QCad to lay out all my graphics (I'm an engineer, CAD is second nature for laying out hole positions). Photoshop to lay down graphics and fonts. Then I print what I made up on clear sticker paper, put it on the enclosure, a couple coats of Krylon Clear, and I have a pedal ready to go.
Holy moly!
You win!!!
What's the automaton?
I liked my lamprey but wondered if maybe running it at 18V would be better.

It is the Micro V that Pickdropper squeezed into a 1590a board, I got it during PIF-mas

Clear sticker paper or water slide?
I just did some water slides that didn't turn out the greatest. I'm gonna order some water slide sheets from a different source. I don't think the stuff I had was very good quality. But, always looking for other options!

This is what I use:
http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Full-Sheet-Printers-11-Inches-18665/dp/B002NEGTBU
Full sheet clear labels. I find its a lot less fiddly than messing with waterslides. I used to use waterslides when I was starting out, but I found this to work much, much better.

That's what I was wondering. Thanks for the tips!

I've always run mine at 18V, no complaints!
Prolific, you manage to build as much in one month as I do in six. They look great.
Gotta ask, who is the boxer on the Champ? It looks familiar but I can't place it.
Dude! Nice work on these. I've been telling myself this year would be about quality over quantity but this makes me wonder: why not both? :P
It's the Bare Knuckle Pickups dude :)
Nice work, as always :D
Wow, you've been busy. :o Great job on all of these!
Probably with this tempo you will build everything that can be build.. :D

You need to stop making such awesome pedals Brane! ;D (just kidding, keep the awesome projects coming)
Dude I don't know how you find the time for this many projects (or money!). I'm lucky if I get an afternoon once a week on A weekend for a couple hours.
Nice work man. Color me jealous.
