This thing was a lot of fun. Can't wait to apply what I've learned to the next one. Trouble is, deciding on the next one!

The videos for the 250 kit were VERY helpful. Even if it was a different kit, just seeing the steps and how the assembly looks in progress was a big help. Hope you plan to do it for all the kits.

It used to be the name of a band I was in. I kept the name after it fell apart and have been using it as sort of a company name for some soundtrack work I do on the side. Couple samples on myspace/toastedopus. The page isn't finished out yet. Too many fun distractions like this one!

Just thought I would use the name for this too.

That was kinda tough. I was a bit over ambitious with trying to cover to whole top with a design.

I set out to use a water slide type decal, but it was too much to wrangle.

I ended up buying some full sheet, 'smudge resistant' labels from Office Max.

I printed the decal, applied it, cut the holes from the underside, and clear coated the whole box.

This looks awesome! It looks as good as a store bought pedal, if not better. When I saw Toasted Opus, all I could think about was Opus the penguin from the old Bloom County comic strip burning a big phatty - LOL

Well done! Great looking pedal and way to be resourceful with applying your graphics!

That build looks fantastic. you can't buy pedals that look that good....unless you pay someone on this forum to build it for you.
