Glad you ppl liked it!

Here's the process (there's not anything unusual):

- I design the logos and stuff with my computer (gimp, kinda like a photoshop).
- For the Small Stone, Small Clone and MXR Dynacomp (actually, a Ross compressor) y printed it over transparent adhesive decals.
- I paint the pedals with acrylic spray (for the small stone and small clone, I put a sticker over the surface so there's no painting there, only the laterals. Then remove it).
- Put the transparent decals.
- Apply some layers of acrylic transparent laquer, for protecting purposes.
- After one day drying, drill the wholes and install the electronics.

The only different in TS and Muff is the white letters. Since you can't print white with normal printers, I took it to a shop where they put whatever drawing you want to a letraset-style thing. (You know, you scracth iver the drawing and it remains in the surface). After that, laquer, of course.

The "white" letters in SS and SC work because I print the black drawing but the letters remain transparent, so you can "see" the metal box through it, that looks almost white (metallic white). If you want real white, you can always paint the surface white and then apply the sticker.

For the transparent decals I was inspired by pedals made by "nils" and "kojjum", both in this forum and very nice people.

Uff! I don't know if I explained correctly.

Wow, that's quite a bit of gear you have there.  I like the rosewood Tele - a bit like the George Harrison model?
