I built a silicon fuzz face (well, multiface) that sounds great and has really touch-sensitive response with the particular values I stuck in there. Pretty much got it sounding perfect on the first try building this thing. I'll probably build a few more to give away to friends. And since it is socketed, folks can always "mod" theirs really easily. Image after I have enclosure drilled and painted. I have to get down to my Makerspace's machine shop to do that this week.

(ToneBender Clone)
I did that enclosure. It was plain aluminum like all BYOC kits. I really worked it. Searched for days for that font and never found a match.
I ended up finding a face shot online of a clean ToneBender and hand traced the lettering in CorelDraw for ages and used that to make up a design that I printed on waterslide decal paper. Handy tip: If you print on a laser printer like I did, you have to spray a layer of clear on first before you soak it in water.
If you don't, you get something like alphabet soup where each letter floats off individually and swims around in the water and you have a blank decal.
It was really funny but really disappointing! I figured it out the second time around.

It turned out nice! You say you used laser printer and still had to clear coat before? I thought it was inkjets that screwed up when wetting them...not laser printers which use toner.

yeah, i wasn't happy about that. the box was already drilled from when it was used for another prototype. i should have just reversed the image, cause there is plenty of room behind luke. oh, well...hindsight, you know.
