What are you using to do your stenciling again? Looks awesome!

Thanks! For the lettering I used a stencil on paper, photographed and then imported and tweaked in Photoshop. Then etched on the box. Real simple, sloppy, and easy to do.

Not fuzzes, but two of my latest. Barber Dirty Bomb and then a JCM800 emulator. Have a couple fuzzes in the line-up though! :)

I never saw that brassmaster before, Laowiz, it's superb.

...and those handpainted's are cool lowbrow. Kind of remind me of shampoo or something though.

Thanks much! Yeah, I hand paint them with Testors enamels...when I looked into buying decal paper, ink jet supplies and all the other stuff needed for graphics I realized a little pack of model paint and a decent brush would be way cheaper for my pedal decorating. Plus I enjoy painting. They are more or less direct rip-offs of Patrick Nagel's artwork (I'm long time fan).

Not everything I do is that elaborate though:

Great work there. Pedals look killer and the Collage is neat to look at.
I dig the big chunky graphics, colors and heavily etched and "weathered"
aesthetic.
