I have and have had a bunch of Catalinbread pedals and never even notice the decals. They just look like nice screens to me, even close up. I know intellectually that they are Lexan decals, but they don't look cheap or "stickery" in the least. In fact, they look GOOD. If the decal thing is keeping you from picking up some of their pedals, it's keeping you from trying out one of the most consistently exciting builders of the last few years, IMO. :/
I've actually owned several catalinbread pedals. They just didn't gel with me. I thought the Heliotrope was cool....
