Title: Couple of Fuzzes (Tonebender MKII & Super Fuzz)
Post by: Dulouz on April 06, 2015, 03:08:18 PM
Hey Guys!

I knocked out a couple of fuzzes this weekend. They're both being traded to a friend for some of his art. The art on the pedals is his art as well.

they both came out really nice, I especially like the Superfuzz etch. I wonder what they look like on the inside?

Said it on Instragram also, Great looking etches. I love the orange and silver combo. I will have to try that at some point.

The superfuzz etch is really cool! How did you do it?
Gut shots maybe ?

Thanks Guys!

These were both etched using HP Presentation Paper for the transfer and muriatic acid/hydrogen peroxide for the etchant. My buddy Jesse sent me hard copies of the art, I scanned them in and printed them out at Office Max.

Painted with Valspar flat and clear coated with Krylon Matte.

I'll try to get some gut shots up tonight.

Lovely etches! I dig the orange one, a lot. The pattern is beautiful and it almost seems like you did the etch through the paint

Thanks! Funny you mention that.

I actually kind messed up on this one, or at least did something unintentionally. The bare metal on the Super Fuzz is at the same level as the orange border, so I had to be very careful sanding around the edges of the design. You can actually see where I didn't get quite all of it sanded.
