This is what you want:
Avery 18665
These take well to clear coating after the ink has set up, so you can have a high-gloss finish if you want. The main thing is to make sure to let the ink dry for 24 hours before clear coating, and you want to handle them very carefully when they first come out of the printer. The ink is very easy to smear, fingerprint, ding, etc. Make sure to print using "Premium presentation paper - matte" for your printer setting.

Ah, the small clone. Definitely one of the best chorus pedals ever made. Great job on this build, you nailed that warm analog sound these had. Thanks for not regurgitating "come as you are".

Amazing group of pedals. I think the Maestro PS-1A clone is still one of my favorites.
What is that larger pedal in the upper dead-center, that has two footswitches and only one Marshall-style knob (kind of 70's graphics)?
Gaspedals Dumbbell?

LOL! Samuel L's reaction is the epitome of how I feel about mayo. ;D
This is the only good mayonnaise IMHO:
*YouTube killed this video* (isn't the web great with all of it's broken links?)

I like mayo, but a lot of places over-do it. It's a condiment, not a lubricant. ;)

I like in the movie undercover brother where he has a special hot sauce watch to spray foods that have been contaminated with mayo.

I decided to mention my hatred of mayonnaise. It's one of the few condiments that people just assume you want, without asking.
Nobody puts mustard all over everything.
Nobody puts relish all over everything.
But mayo is everywhere. It's almost impossible to get a burger in the U.S. or Canada without them slathering it all over, regardless of what the burger is called. Who puts mayo on a BBQ burger??? BBQ sauce IS the condiment; HELLO, doesn't need mayo.
And what really burns me is when they try to hide it in other flavors. That honey mustard...it's base component is mayonnaise. Honey mustard should be two things...honey and mustard. That's it. Why the mayo?
The menu says "special house sauce". Guaranteed it's just "flavored" mayonnaise.
You leave mayo out too long in the heat and it turns into poison. It was originally invented to mask the flavor of rotten food. Sounds great!
So yes, it overpowers whatever you put it on, and just turns it into mayonnaise...with a hint of something else. So why do people use it like its absolutely life necessary? I ask for something without the mayo, and every time people glitch out like I asked for a turkey sandwich without turkey. If I say I want a burger with no mayo, I get a patty and bun sans EVERYTHING else. They assume no mayo means, "oh, they don't want anything on it".

I think the government is putting some kind of mind control drugs in mayo or something....which is the main reason I hate it, because we are forced to eat it. Try it. Ask for no mayo, and people look at you like your body hasn't been snatched yet.

Very nice. What kind of graphics did you put on this? I've wondered what inspiration builders would get from the name "flabulanche". (second thought, maybe we don't want to see that image)

That almost seems to be too nice to be true! Did they keep it in a vacuum seal all those decades? The headstock decal looks brand new. Even my mid 80's strat shows yellowing on the decal borders. And those bakelite parts are blindingly white.

Looks awesome!. I've been thinking about building some Muff variant. Was thinking about the Pharaoh, but this seems even better.
Yes, I would definitely recommend this version, mainly because of that added midrange control.
I realized now that I mislabeled the "contour" control...it was actually supposed to say "colour" (off juansolo's big muff spreadsheet).

Build Reports / The Super 70
April 02, 2015, 04:56:44 PM
This is a "repurposed" project made of lots of used parts. It's based off of pryde's King of Muffs http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=12012.msg108432#msg108432, with an added contour control. The enclosure is from a failed project (JB weld is good), the knobs are from and old Bogen PA system, and the pcb is from an early 2000's Big Muff. It was one of the first pcbs I experimented on back in the day, so it has a ton of lifted traces I had to repair. Plus I had to drill some extra holes for new components that didn't fit right. The gut shot is anything but pretty :o. This thing rocks though, and is very versatile. The added mids and contour control really give the original Big Muff circuit new life; there are a lot of different fuzz tones you can get from this thing.






Got a quick demo up.
