    very cool! I actually just purchased my first kit from BYOC...I got the confidence booster (free w/first purchase) and the octofuzz. And my thought was to send you a PM for some graphic tips....how do you get the graphics on there? clear labels?

    I want to see your personal collection of all your own pedals you've made with graphics if thats possible :)

    can you see this link?:

    sometimes you can't see facebook stuff from outside but this you should be able to access. let me know.

    that's everything i've built to this point.

    i do my graphics in openoffice draw and print them on plain paper (i do a draft print first to make sure everything lines up properly). then i mask off the sides and spray glue the graphic to the box. then i use automotive clear coat (6 or 7 coats. usually just the top) and remove the masking.

    photo paper would work better but my printer can't handle it.

    on the boxes BYOC sells, i sand the sides to make it look brushed.

    i can send you templates if you like but they're for this openoffice program.

    BYOC is great. it's like a gateway drug. i want to order the chorus and phaser from them but i'm currently preoccupied with these amp-sim pedals. plus i'm waiting for companion fuzz and marshall bluesbreaker kits from generalguitargadgets.com. BYOC doesn't sell direct to canada and their canadian dealer is fine but a little more difficult purchase-wise and his prices are higher (i.e. $10 more for the octafuzz) so i haven't bought any more for a while. i will wait until the next 4 for the price of 3 sale.

    sure, just PM me whenever you're ready and i'll send you what i have.

    it's a lot of fun. just take your time and check every component twice before you solder it.
