I'm making a fuzz pedal  template and i really need your opinions how does it look it and what should i improve.

I'm really trying to find a great font so it will match the stlye does anyone know any?



Thanks again and please leave your comments

I think everything looks fantastic, except for the font and Jimi's face ( :P ) I get the reference, but if you could maybe tie his head into the cool swirly, flowery design below him, it wouldn't look as strange (to me).

I don't know any fonts off the top of my head, but yours kind of looks like blood smears or stamps, which doesn't fit the pedal, I don't think.

IMO anyway  :)  The other part looks fantastic though. Did you draw that yourself, or was it combining a bunch of pictures?

Looks good. I always like "bell bottom" style fonts for that psychedelic 60s vibe.

That's Really cool !! (expect, maybe, the speaker and guitar close the Vol and Fuzz).

But why everybody sticks an Hendrix face in Fuzz face deco ?

Also this template will be on a sparkle purple color.

Also when clearcoating the water decal paper (mine is clear not white) how long does it take lacquer to dry so i can soak it into the water and put this beauty on

I liked the guitar and speaker thing, although I would've gone with either a picture of an amp or speaker or an icon of a guitar (just to keep the two similar). I also like the revised one, too. Looks cool!!

Small point, do your knobs cover any of Jimmy's face?

It's something of a pet peeve of mine when you spend all this time on graphics, and then the knobs cover it all up.

Try a little tenderness.

I'd use Syd Barrett's face just to mess with people  ;D

Looks really cool, nice job, as for the water decal i never put a coat of clear coat on the decal before putting it in water, i have an epson inkjet printer and the ink does not run in the water. If you do it this way some waterslide paper will dry on the pedal with a white background but dont worry as once you clearcoat the pedal the background will go clear.
If you do want to put a clear coat on the decal first then it just needs a light dust coat, dry in a about 10 mins. but cut the decal to size after clear coating otherwise the edges stick and its hard to slide off once wetted.
