Title: Klone Overdrive (Sunking)
Post by: v00d00blues79 on December 29, 2011, 02:59:33 AM
Out of the several dozen or so pedals I've built over the last few years this is the first one to actually get any kind of labeling treatment.  After perusing the amazing builds on display here on the forum I finally got up the gumption to try my hand at etching.  I figured I would start out with something simple, and I'm glad I did.  I managed to make a few mistakes, but overall I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Also, I want to thank Madbean and all of the rest of you guys for giving me the motivation to take this next step, and for also providing me with motivation to really dig back in to pedal building!

Thanks,

Andy

Nice, I like that sort of industrial relic look.

Thanks!  The industrial look was the first thing I thought of this morning when I took another look at the etch job.  Things learned from this: 1. Make sure the top of the enclosure is as flat as you can make it. 2. Make sure there are no air bubbles between the transfer and the enclosure. (Having a flat surface should take care of this)

Definitely found my go to way of dressing up my enclosures!

Great job! I like your etch, doesn't need anymore than you did.
The insides look really clean!
