Mike's Pedal Thread

That yellow is so hawt.

Have you thought about doing simple 2 tone paintjobs? I think that yellow and the red you did jimmy's pedal in would amazing together.

Yeah, Mezz's Green Ringer was two tone with a white stripe and metallic green. It wasn't the clearest edge on the stripe because I used masking tape, I think Electrical tape would be better in hindsight. I'll give it another go at some point - obviously it adds a spraying stage and a drying stages but it could be cool.

Woah.

If I order another pedal I'm requesting some two tone goodness.

Checkd on dots' case and annoyingly a small piece of newspaper had fallen on the case in the drying box from the protective covering, I've tidied it up and sprayed more coats of colour, but it means I'll probably not be able to lay decals until Saturday

Let's hope so!

You cool with the following?

Face Decal Bottom Left.

"Modded Muff" text on the pedal.

Controls left to right, labeled: Sustain, Tone, Mids, Volume

and a toggle switch, possibly labelled something like "Diodes" which flips between Silicon Diodes and Red LEDs for different dirt sounds...

hey mike would you be able to make a delay or flanger/phaser pedal

Post by **Mike** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 8:43 pm

I'm afraid both of those are too complex for me to do in a cost effective manner since I don't use PCBs. There are lots of great (and cheap) delay and phasers around though, check out the ones by Artec and Behringer for example.

thats fine just wondering

how much do you charge for pedals like benecols fuzzface?

Post by **Mike** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 9:05 pm

A Fuzzface with Fuller mods is $120 shipped if you're in the US, but if you're in the UK it's Â£70

I am the Trinny and Susannah of the pedal world and I claim my Â£5 - most sold pedal? Can you tell us a bit more about Dots's muff? Sounds interesting...

haha.. you are my Pedal Svengali, you know what the people want (I haven't the foggiest!)

Dot's Muff
-----------
Green Big Muff circuit
Added Mids control (you tweak the tone stack slightly and replace a 20K resistor with a 25K pot (wired as a rheostat) and a 1K resistor to ground)
Toggle switch (DPDT) to flip between regular diodes (Si 1N4148's) and LEDs (Red) in the two clipping stages for different sounds.

I figure our fearless leader should have bells and whistles.
