Adding custom gear to artists

Hi! I tried searching, but I can't seem to find a thread like this.

I'm currently trying to contribute by filling in the gaps in shoegaze and dream pop artists' gear. I ran into this problem: Jeremy Wrenn from Airiel uses two custom pedals from Death By Audio: Full Range Fuzz Wall Custom (overdrive and filter) and a Total Sonic Annihilation With Footsitchable Boost / Fine Tuning / Volume Limiter, both mentioned on the archive page of the Death By Audio website (https://killerrockandroll.com/deathbyaudio/custom.html).

Please tell me how to add them correctly and is it possible to add them at all if the source is only this page?

For users over 500 points (like you), you should see a small link for adding discontinued/rare items directly underneath the orange NEXT button.

I went ahead and added the pedal in question, since you asked for guidance on how to add it correctly (thank you for caring!).

2 key things to keep in mind when adding highly-customized/bespoke items for Artists:

1. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who wants to achieve that Artist's tone. You want to make it as clear as possible that this was a custom project that can't be purchased new or used (despite being officially acknowledged on the DBA website in this case) -- and you also want to give them as much info as you can find on exactly what the instrument/pedal/item is, in case they're trying to cop the sound of that Artist. In this case, Jeremy's interivew here is way more helpful than the DBA website. I used the info in that blog to fill in the item description, but it would be good to include that same info about this being an Interstellar Overdrive combined with the filter circuit from a Sound Saw in the posting notes when you submit this pedal to Jeremy's profile.

2. Find the cleanest photo you can. In this case, there is just the one, and it's absolute trash... but it's all we have. I had to keep the hot pink background when submitting the item, because the actual image file (right + click "save image as") had a pink border baked into it, which looks even worse. Maybe someone with patience and Photoshop skills could clean and enhance it further, but that'd be above and beyond.

NOTE: if any admins, mods or community members feel differently about exactly how to approach custom projects listed under a commercial brand, please chime in.

Wow, thank you so much for such a detailed answer and the fact that you even took the time to do some extra research and clean up the photo, I can't even tell you how much I appreciate that!

Oh, I see, I formulated and started this topic when my rating was below 500, I didn't have this option back then. Both pedals were identified from a photo of Jeremy's board on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10154154305207288&set=weve-been-a-bit-quiet-since-the-last-update-the-good-news-is-that-were-done-mixi), so I'll try to take better quality photos of the pedals from there, or just remove all the pinkness around the edges in Photoshop if the result turns out to be worse in quality than the photos from the Death by Audio archive, in any case, I will do the best I can. Thanks again for your help!

No prob. Nice work on cleaning up that photo!
