Title: Neutrino!
Post by: Ettore_M on December 15, 2012, 07:35:08 PM
Not much to say for this one really.. Simply a great, yet simple overdrive!
I went with orange on this one. I don't know if it was the right decision, but I like the result.. :)
Lettering was done by hand with an exacto knife cutting through the paint and primer, just before it was completely dry..  ;)

Enjoy!

Dude, that is badass don't sell yourself short, it's the simplest of designs that look so good. And the technique is great, haven't heard of doing that yet.

To get that lettering that neat with a sharp knife is very impressive mate, you must have the skills of a surgeon, ;D looks fantastic, all the best, Matt.

Hector, that looks really nice.  I don't think I could cut the letters out that neatly.

Thanks, guys! :D I'm flattered! But I'm not a surgeon. :P Just a guy desperate enough to find simple, cheap and nice ways of lettering his stompboxes.. It's not that difficult as it seems to. Yes! It takes a lot of time doing it, but it's simple!  ;) When I'll find the time, I'll post pictures of how I did this one..
Thanks again!

Hector
