Forum rules
The DIY forum is for personal projects (things that are not for sale, not in production), info sharing, peer to peer assistance. No backdoor spamming (DIY posts that are actually advertisements for your business). No clones of in-production pedals. If you have concerns or questions, feel free to PM admin. Thanks so much!
I'm a noob here, but love the forum. Lots of good info for DIYers, it's been quite handy already.
My first attempt at doing any graphics on a box, came out better than I expected. The polyurethane gave it a yellow tint that I didn't want and a weird grainy texture in places. Otherwise I'm pleased!

Thanks, man! It's a cookbook I got in Thailand when I was doing field research there some years ago. Some recipes have as many as 40 chili peppers! This is a spicy circuit (cheesy as that sounds), hence the inspiration. Okay, let me shut up now...

Good thing I didn't use my stamps to label it then The grey I call the Willowisp. It's a lofi distortion I came up with last year. Fast forward to recently when I realized it's very similar in topology to the ROG Whisker Biscuit, which I had a pcb for. Thus it's the Willowisp, on a WB pcb. Due to similarities in circuit (not sound), I will likely not be producing them in the future. The orange one is a Superfuzz with notch on a footswitch, and octave balance pot.
Willowisp guts. Not the prettiest, though still nice and neat.

Nice guts indeed! I take it that the thick black wire is shielded? How do you keep it from shorting on the foot switch lugs when it's cut so close?
It's actually not shielded. My spool ran out so I had to use what I had laying around (and is why there are like 4 different types/colors in there). Got a bunch of that thick stuff from a job I worked, but it's really too stiff/thick to be used much.
4MS Noise Swash. One of my all time favourite pedals, it's nice to finally have a version with useable foot switches (not something that seems to be on the list of priorities over at 4MS... )
