DIY Guitar Pedal Building Series
My 2012 series on DIY Guitar Pedal building continues to draw visitors to planetz. I just went through and updated a few stale links, and I noticed that I never really posted entire table of contents for the series. So here it is. I also added these links to the top of each page. Better late than never!
- Intro to DIY Pedal Building
- Beginner’s Course in Sketchup, Modeling a 125B Guitar Pedal Enclosure
- Drilling a 125B Guitar Effects Pedal Enclosure
- Pedal Enclosure Finishing: Surface Prep, Priming and Painting
- Using GIMP to Create Pedal Artwork
- Printing and Applying Waterslide Decal to Pedal Enclosure
I also made a youtube playlist: DIY Guitar Pedal Building
Danville 4th of July Parade
Parade Banners
My band is looking forward to playing in this year’s Kiwanis 4th of July Parade in Danville. We’ll be on a huge flatbed truck, so we need some big banners. I prepared a modified version of our business card as vector graphics pdf, and sent it to this company BingBanners down in LA. I orderd two 3’x6’ vinyl banners, very reasonably priced, and the banners showed up the next day!
The logo is printed over a dark eggplant-purple color, and I wasn’t sure how it would turn out on vinyl, but they turned out fantastic! And I’m sure we’ll be able to use these at other gigs as well.
Here’s the artwork:
Followup: here’s how the banner looked on the truck in the parade. Maybe we should’ve gone even bigger!
