Well, last night I started designing my BYOC pedal. I haven't even taken the PBC board out of its package yet, nor even read the instructions...just kinda measured the box, and figured I'd take a stab at some artwork first...so if you guys wouldn't mind telling me which one you think works.

I'm very partial to the second one (Theme 2)

Thanks guys

    Theme 2 is perfect
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    thanks guys....now...what would you say would be the best type of paper to print it on? I have a laser color printer but I also have an Alps printer that prints essentially with wax, very photo like.

    And should i put the artwork and everything on it first?

    thanks agian

    the more sturdy and better quality the paper is, the better. if you can manage to do a photo-quality print, i would say go with that.

    not sure exactly what you mean with the second question. i stick the artwork on, punch out the holes for the hardware with a knife and then clearcoat.

    yea, what i meant was doing the artwork/punching holes, THEN put all the hardware assembled into it right?

    yep.

    paint/sand the enclosure if you want.
    stick the graphics on by whatever means.
    clearcoat liberally.
    let it dry for a couple days.

    then assemble everything.

    don't rush the drying part too much. let everything get nice and dry and solid or there's a rish that you'll sort of bubble the artwork when you tighten the bolts on the pots etc. speaking from experience on that one.
