I got into pedals this summer and made a Donut (pink), Florist (blue), and a combined GreenBean/SlowLoris (yellow). I based my graphics off of loteria cards (https://www.google.com/search?q=loteria+cards&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjb76KGv9DrAhUBIKwKHVPuDJ8Q_AUoAXoECBMQAw&biw=1920&bih=937) and took more freedom with the Dist/OD, adding some avatar (https://www.google.com/search?q=sokka+cactus+juice&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjTsI7PwtDrAhVPUKwKHRX2BOcQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=sokka+cactus+juice&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIFCAAQsQMyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAA6BAgAEEM6BggAEAcQHlDMLFjOPmD4P2gAcAB4AIABV4gB5QSSAQE4mAEAoAEBqgELZ3dzLXdpei1pbWfAAQE&sclient=img&ei=ybtSX5OoD8-gsQWV7JO4Dg&bih=937&biw=1920)references. Also, i just wanna thank this community because you guys answered a lot of my questions and helped me exceed my expectations of how these would turn out. thank you!!

I think they turned out great for being my first pedals and I only had one minor drilling error! Only complaint is that GreenBean needs the DRIVE pot to be below 10% or else it is way too much, but that might be because of the mods i made in order to exclude the LOW pot.
I also made a tiny pedalboard out of some wood i had:

edit: i also wanna point out the graphics are just on photo paper from walgreens (coated with armor-all) glued onto the enclosure with elmers and a bit of superglue, it seems to be holding up well enough, but also i've only had them for about a month. I think this is a great option if your trying to minimize costs. I followed this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25BnW3aTU9I).
Those look somewhere around 10x better than my first 3 pedals.
Stone me, is this a wind up?! They look fantastic, are you a pro photographer as well? Awesome work, carry on chief!

thank you! i took some studio classes last semester so i was used this as an opportunity to keep practicing photography and also photoshop (the main reason i did diy pedals was so i could make the graphics lol)
Very nice. I have to echo the others, well done!

I'm with ya, that Cactus Juice looks just incredible. Nice work all around, I also dig the DIY pedalboard, I've thrown together a few too.
Excellent, what a start, now you're hooked! Fab looks and execution, looking forward to seeing more!
"My first builds," he says. Bloody hell.
Just a note, you might want to check the taper on that drive pot if it's maxing out too early.
awesome stuff. The graphics are top notch and the presentation/photography is killing it
Looks great, really outstanding work especially for new builds
