[Moonn] Good Vibes

[szukalski]

As I ascend my journey towards mediocre pedal building, I present thee with a Moonn Good Vibes.

Not a high part count but an enjoyable pedal. Simple yet sweet.

Playing around with the Posca pens a bit more, it looks much nicer on the floor compared to up close.

Oh I like that kinda reminds me of the old many moons ago Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog type cassette games it's got that vibe pardon the pun

Very nice looks great

Thanks, I have the PC-5M (1.8-2.5mm) and PC-1MR (0.7mm) but in reality stick with the smaller ones. The larger ones are only useful for filling in areas of colour. I am thinking of getting the even smaller ones for knob labelling, they are still a little large for my liking.

I need to invest in some paints, the pens are good but you are limited in shading.

Thank you! I have the thicker ones and they are waay to thick. My son loves using them to paint pedals and i love his artwork.

Do the posca pens need a clear coat on top to make the art more durable?

Definitely agree, they have limited use and I would easily live without them. I wouldn't recommend them for anyone starting out, spend the money on the smaller pens.

They definitely do, one of the nice things is that they scratch off easily, so if you make a mistake it only takes a wipe/scratch to start over again.
I use a Dupli-Color clearcoat, generally three layers with about 45 minutes in the sun between coats.

The main reason I wanted to do graphics was to label the knobs, for that, the smaller the pens the better.
