Love the look of the HC- the dials being close together leaving extra space, the colour choices and everything, looks so keh-yuuute.

Fucking hell I gab on for like 3 minutes, what a tool.

Sounds great dude, nice to be able to tweak lots of parts of the pedal to taste.

Thanks man, I'm happy with it. I think I like LED clipping diodes best in both Muffs and RATs after building these two pedals.

how much for a totally tweakable ring-mod?

(hope this wasn't already covered. i don't want to read the 57 pages in between.)

I haven't ever made a Ring Mod to be honest and wouldn't know how. I would look up Aen at Dwarfcraft

Mike do you know of a case that's like the standard MXR/Hammon B box but a bit longer? So perhaps another 30-50mm in it's largest dimension. I had a look over at banzai but didn't see anything.

I'm afraid I don't mate, I only use the standard Hammond sizes. I presume this is for true bypass strips? The case is the hardest part to find I think.

Chico might be able to help you out if you PM him.

William and VivaMike, your cases are DRILLED.

im really excited. i fully expect that this will be my new favorite pedal. after this, ill be pretty well set, except maybe getting my HRD's reverb to sound right (why don't people complain about the shitty reverb on these more often?) and maybe a device of the crafted by dwarves variety.

if this one works out, i may ask mike to build me one o them rats. i dont really have a distortion pedal (the disto+ is more like an overdrive)

so ill be Melodymaker> Distortion+> Mikemmoth> Dunlop Tremolo> Hot Rod Deluxe> your bleedingass ears bitch.

I used to have more pedals. I only keep around the ones I really really like. I feel like there are too many out there to put up with any negative aspects.

Case in point, my digiverb was noisy SOLD.

Digital delay sucks SOLD my DD3

SELLING my rackmount MXR digital delay.

WTF sold my DS1.

i think ill get my big muff going again, and maybe use that too. just needs a new battery thingy. you know.

I sell stuff I don't get on with aswell, see no point in holding onto it.

Your pedal is DONE.

I'll ship it with the battery in place so it'll be ready to go. The foam above and below the battery wedges it in place so it's rock solid, if you ever replace the battery, do the same to keep it in place. Battery is connected when an input jack is inserted, so unplug when not in use. Controls left to right are Output, Eq, Pinch, Wool.

Aye true bypass. I wanted to do three, which would mean 3 switches and 8 jacks. I could do the BB box but I'd rather keep it thin.

now the long wait begins...
