Help with pedal design aka Without Tim I Am Nothing

Right so a few weeks back before all this financial trauma hit me I built myself a Catalinbread CB30 board and a Naga Viper (treble booster with added controls) board. They're both great sounding, but together they're a thing of beauty. Seriously delicious Vox and boosted Vox sounds.

Turns out they came to the same conclusion and released this, Galileo which is a stripped down Naga Viper into a CB30.

So now that I need to make some scratch, I was thinking about sticking the two boards I have (with all the controls of the Viper retained rather than tuned into one sound) into a Dream Box styled case with new graphics, and then stick it on ebay or forum or whatever.

Anyway, Tim is camping so this is the best I could come up with:

Basically as well as retaining all the controls of the Naga Viper (albeit aliased by me to other names that I think better fit the vibe), and adding an Order toggle to have Boost -> Drive or Drive -> Boost possible and then hamfistedly fucked into this graphic.

So the question is? Is this good enough or is it shit?

If it's shit, feel free to help me with pedal name/font suggestions, and if any of you feels like helping that would also be great.

I like it, would look impressive on some sort of copperised background (paint or even Jack White style). Just don't do a Union Jack behind it as that would tip over into cheese territory. Probably sell loads though....

I wss thinking my Goldish paint might be the best choice.
