2. I can replace the switches on both your Vox and Big Muff pedals with 3DPTs and make them true bypass if they aren't already. It would be Â£10 per pedal including the switch for me to do this, you would have to pay shipping to and from me though.
Nice one that all sounds great... fairly basic work but I doubt I'll ever sit down and work on them... I'd rather be playing my guitar.

18v pedal runs on x2 9V batteries... one of which is broken...

I'll drop you a pm when I got some spare cash and ready to post out.

thanks

Oh in that case yes I could fix the battery snap for you. It will just be two 9V in series to form the 18V power source. I could do that for free if you were getting me to do the other 2 pedals at the same time.

Just give me a yell if you fancy going ahead with it, no pressure.

Excellent, I'll send all 3 across... are you interested in the switch I bought that's been made redundant ... would it be some you'd use ?

if it's only got three lugs then no I'm afraid, since I make all my footswitchable functions with an LED status. PM me for my address.

Cheers Nick, I'll get it in th epost tomorrow

I know I texted you last night when I plugged it in, but just want everyone else to know how much I love the Green Big Muff you builded :D It sounded exactly as I'd wanted it to as soon as I plugged it in with everything at 12 o'clock. I didn't get a chance to faff about with it 'cause I was kidnapped and taken to the pub by my mates, but I shall tonight :D Thanks again!

Thanks Jon, you're too sweet. I'm glad you liked it and that I got around to getting decals on it for you.

The Muff brings all the boys to the yard.

Haha, I'm so glad I bought it. Like I said; I plugged it in and started playing Cherub Rock all clean like on the record, and I hadn't even turned the pedal on at this point so had no ieda how it'd sound, then when it came to the right time turned on the Muff and was just baffled at how perfect it was :D :D

Words like that make me happier than you could imagine.

Hahaha :D

Oh, yeah, and I'm pleased with the continuity of the blinding LEDs :D

haha

Every pedal that isn't battery powered generally has a stupidly bright LED.

I tested it in the dark and it actually lit up my room.

What size/style resistor do you use on the led?

Post by **Mike** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 2:51 pm

It dedepends on the LED I'm using. You just calculate it using ohm's law.

R = V/I

V = 9V
I = max current draw of LED.
