Waterslide decal - guitar effects pedal
I wanted to add some custom graphics to a fuzz pedal and discovered waterslide decals. Technically I rediscovered them, as I recall using them with models as a kid. But I was really happy with the crisp Union Jack graphic decal on my “British Invasion” edition fuzz pedal.
I used a color inkjet printer, leaving the white bits of the graphic clear and then painted the pedal a cream white. There are many possibilities for the combination of waterslide decal and paint under the transparent areas. The paint I use is Krylon enamel, with several coats of clear over the waterslide decal to provide durability. The Krylon applies easily and dries quickly.
The pedal circuit was a standard Aqua Fuzz pedal. Kits are available, you can build one yourself and give it your own custom look.
