Been fooling around with boost and fuzz pedals. I've made silicone and germanium varieties of both. :)

Yeah, I'm trying to figure that one out. I don't want to do the clear decal thing.

If you can get the finish to cover in one coat (use a similarly colored primer maybe?) then you can mask and spray or screen on the writing or even use paint markers like Zvex then just put a clear coat over it. If the finish is too thick clear coats mix in with the finish and screw it up. Soething I learned the hard way. Do you bake em? After they dry stick em in the oven for a few hours to harden and speed up the curing process?

What's your favorite Fuzz and Treble booster circuits? I've been thinking of building a Vox type Treble booster and a Colorsound Fuzz clone.
