This video is absolutely amazing. I’ve watched it at least a dozen times. I always come back to it when I get hung up or forget how to do something. This video is definitely a go-to for me. Thank you!

Great to hear! Thanks for the kind words.

Excellent tutorial - thanks John.

Thank you for making this video! Super helpful!

You have no idea how helpful this series has been. This has been a true step by step. I'm hoping to have my pedal done by the end of the weekend. As this is my first DIY decoration, it won't be anything super, but it will be mine and it will be unique. Thank you so much for taking the time to document this process!

Thank you! Best tutorial on GIMP I've seen so far

I just stumbled here, but this was so good, I want to make my own pedals now. You made it look so easy.

Awesome video, I come back to it whenever I forget how to do something when designing my art. Thanks!

Thank you, very helpful tutorial and best Gimp video I’ve watched so far !

Once again your video is amazingly detailed, clear and all around wonderful! Thank you so much for taking the time.

Thanks for the video! I don't think I would have ever figured out this program without it.

these are all i need to know. you did a great job on this tutorial. subscribed!

Thank you very much John for sharing your knowledge. I am just accumulating kits and parts and your lessons really makes me enthusiastic as to building my kits and making them look good at the same time.

No problem. I had always shied away from Photoshop and GIMP because I missed that whole thing when it first came around and never really bothered to learn it. Every time I tried to mess with either it never made sense to me, and so I would just end up giving up. But your tutorial was SO clear and SO informative that it made it seem easy. I loved how you added all the little details like "I'm going to pan down here by holding the space bar as I move the mouse." Those little helpful hints were very appreciated. After viewing the video, I decided to install GIMP again and give it a try. And it was really easy. The best part of all is that your tutorial just happened to be dealing with the (relatively obscure) subject of designing a pedal enclosure, which is exactly what I'm doing! Thanks again! New subscriber for sure!

Amazing video! I've known about Gimp for a long time, but I never knew it was this powerful. You have a great way of explaining things. This video kicks butt! :-)

This is a really great instructional video. I have to fumble around a bit to find things in the most recent version, but it still holds up really well

Super helpful. Thanks for your time.

Thanks John You just made my weekend a lot easier

great tutorial on this software…thank you

John, thank you for this tutorial. I'm just getting started building pedals. Just uploaded gimp, and struggling to learn it. I have several pcb's built. But still need to drill the holes and create the graphics. I'm really struggling with the graphics part. This tutorial is very helpful to me. Thank you, Steve

Excellent video! Help me a lot! Thank you

Dear John. thank you for sharing this tutorial. i have swap t from windows some years ago to peppermint Linux and could not find a program that work t like the PSP 5 and the free Photofilter for windows. Gimp is massif and i could not work with that, until now. finally i can work on my pedal decals. thank you!

Thank you! this was just what i needed

Great tutorial! Thx!

Very cool John! As a fellow guitar player and graphic designer you have just gained a new subscriber. Can't wait to see more of your videos. And I've never even heard of waterslide decals. Awesome

Eric Hepperle They’ve been around for ages. I remember fighting with those water slide decals with model airplanes back before internet took over everyone’s free time. Getting the bubbles out was always the challenge.

Amazing tutorial ! Thanks a lot !!! I have a Big Muff from BYOC that's gonna look a lot better now !

Thanks so much, I would have never figured this sh*t out on my own...

Thanks man, very helpfull.

Good stuff thanks

Thanks man!

Nice work, John, thanks for sharing! Maybe I'll actually get out of GIMP gorilla level now!

Hi John, really great vids, very helpful. Im more versed in inkscape, how do you make the black rectangle outline that you put around the image ? I cant seem to work it out thanks

thanks a lot John . i was wondering on the border that you did at the. end im using a black pedal how can I make the border none black? i am all ready to print. Your video was very helpful although the new version of gimp is different . also as a noob it took me a long time . i have several issues with layers. and font. i tried to change font and when i click to type it reverts back to the oriinal font no matter what. try it keeps reverting to sans font. any suggestions? one last,question how can i change the background color to black its white and if i try moving the layers around everything gets jumbled?

Hello John.I watch your videos for pedal enclosure finishing countless times.And im having a dificulty to mirroring an overall image for etch engraving.

edit: I left this comment before watching the video all the way through lol sorry about that!! great tutorials on your channel here, I've got my first kits on their way and I think I'll be revisiting your videos a lot during the design process! can you do a more in depth tutorial on how you edited the image for the speed racer drive? right now i'm thinking of drawing a design and then scanning it so that I can print it out instead of painting on the enclosure. interested in how you did the colour correction etc

Glad you found it! For reference, the section on editing the Speed Racer graphic starts at 17:20

good stuff John. I have a Mac, does GIMP have a version for Mac? Also, what do you use for a clear coating? Ive used Future floor polish,and hobby lacquer clear coat, but neither is very durable.
