Hey guys,
I've just finished my first pedal. I chose the lovepedal eternity from lvlarks blog (awesome blog btw). The very build went ok, but i had some issues with the off board wiring. My own fault I tried following 2 different layouts at the same time.
I also made the mistake of using a metal dc socket in a metal case! Beginners mistake, but a bit of searching on this forum got me pointed the right direction.
I also had a play at the paint work on the box, not sure the best way to mark the pots and input and output, any suggestions?
Here's a couple of photos

Haven't done any sound clips because my playing sucks, but it does sound like a distortion pedal, so I'm happy.
Great first build!
My first was not that pretty.
There are many options for labelling the pots etc.
I think that in your case (with the enclosure already painted) i would suggest self-adhesive decals. You run them through your printer, cut to taste and just apply them. In my experience, you'll get a bit of an edge between the decal and the rest of the enclosure; but it's an easy way!
(Just re-read that and I think there might be sex joke in there somewhere...!)
+1 - yeah, not bad at all for a first build. Looks way better than my lame first effort: nice swirl!

If it sounds good, it
is good. :icon_biggrin:
Cheers guys. I'll have a play with it. Next up Engineers Thumb....
It's too cool of a paint job to add any labels...I'd go blank! cool first build.
one suggestion. you'll have an easier time with offboard wiring if you use thinner wire
