Cool man! I really gotta learn how to do these waterslide decals. My first attempt was very pitiful.

;D yeah my first attempt I think I sprayed way to much of the clear coat and ended up with some little bubbles that looked like a rash :-\ hehe

It's not bad one you get the hang of it. I use the full face layout rather than cutting each labels, it's a lot easier and looks great. For this one I only sprayed 2 coats of clear on the label before applying, applied the graphics and let them dry for about an hour and then I sprayed 2 heavy coats with 1 hr in between. Give it a shot! I'm sure you'll do great :)

Gee I didn't realise that was a decal, nice job!  I have been doing lots of little decal labels and putting them on one by one, perhaps I'll try a full face layout next time :)

I guess it depends on the look you're going for. If your pedal only has control labels than maybe a full face label might not be necessary. But if you're planning on using a large graphic then a full face decal is definitely the way to go :)

Thanks for the compliment, I hope to rock it out next week!  ;D

I agree! I know Bean usually likes to not redo projects that are already available in other sites and the Ross being in guitarpcb and tonepad I can see why he wouldn't do it (although would be fantastic). I think I've been spoiled with the perfection of Bean's boards and documentation hehe  :D

This compressor sounds very cool man. I've been playing a lot with it to get to know it's sound a bit better (it's my very first compressor, ever) so questions like, does it go before/after the overdrives? and how much sustain/level is too much? when do I wanna use each position of that 3 way switch? arise haha

Good luck with yours man!

I might post it in the request section and see what happens, although there are lots of other projects in the works first i think anyway. Its true, i much prefer beans boards and documentation over a lot of others!

Sounds great, hopefully parts arrive this week.. ive only ever played an orange squeezer comp so im guessing its gonna be fairly different.
