Cool, how hard was it? Also do you think I could do the same thing to a russian big muff, black re-issue?

Was pretty easy. Only hard this was rewiring new pots because they're surface mounted, and the board is pretty long. and probably. You would have to replace the jacks though.

John - can you elaborate on your screen print methods? I'm looking to add graphics to my pedals and wondering where I should start.

I use waterslide decals. :)
Fairly simple, just add practice. 8x10 sheets are $2 from smallbear.
I use the laser decals.

I´ve been waiting for someone to post a bad-looking pedal so the contrast isn´t too bad, but looks like it´s not going to happen.

It´s my first build, so I´m pleased that it at least works.

glad you got it working. you might want to put the board closer to the pots next time if you have 3 pots and they all go directly to the board. there is a trick too if you have a vol pot at the end of the circuit for example. you could run 3 wires from the board to the pot and the output from the board to the switch. thats 4 wires. or you could just take the lug 3 from the board and wire it to the vol pot. the other lugs of the vol pot go to the switch and lug 1 to ground. thats 3 wires instead of 4 but only 1 wire that connects to the board. MUuuuuch cleaner in most cases.
