Mike, finally getting the saltbooster tomorow! Had to pay 50p for them to deliver it to my local post office so i can collect it. Should be good though as my other pedals are there aswell, a double collection.

Nice one, let me know how it goes. What a pain you had to wait.

I went and got the saltbooster this morning! I love it! It looks stunning, and the boost blew me away, its amazing! I may have to buy some more pedals once I get more cash

yay. Im not tearing you away from the 800 too much though am i?

Post by **Mike** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 11:50 am

haha.. don't you worry about that.

Should be a few days to have the case painted, decal'd and lacquered and then I can build it. I estimate it'll be in the post early next week sometime.

brilliant, should arrive about the same time as my mixer & behringer amp sim di box thing. I'm going to have a goooood week

Decal'd just before clearcoat. It's now curing in my shed high tech drying facility.

i didn't know about his amazing SHED OBSESSION until the DVDs, i swear one of the menus in every one in some way features sheds.

You cant get much more hand made boutiquey-ness than a shed. A hint of britishness too

Boring request, Mike:

Switching box to switch between one set of ins and outs to another, essentially so I can go from MicroKorg>PA to guitar>pedals and back with little problems. Ideally with an LED to show the status, and therefore a 9v I guess.

Doesn't need to be painted, decalled or labeled at all; even an old messed-up Salt Booster box would be fine. I would do it all myself, but don't have a drill here, plus it just means ordering in and waiting on all the parts.

Ballpark figure would be grand.

So effectively you want a box with four jacks on it and a footswitch, which when in one state does this:

Korg in jack connected to PA out jack
Amp out jack Muted

and then in the other state does this:

Guitar in jack connected to pedals out jack
PA out jack Muted

with an LED (or BI COLOUR?!?!?"Â£" BBBQQQQ) to indicate the state?

I think I can do this by using a 3PDT to enable/ground out each output, and a sexy LED to show the status. Without battery power and DC jack only would be like Â£35, with battery power including a battery would be Â£40?

Post by **Doog** » Tue Feb 03, 2009 3:28 pm

Yeah, that's the functionality entirely. I could probably do without LED/power to be honest- it'll be very obvious which mode it's in.

Thinking about it, I do have a Bluesbreaker box with 4 jack holes drilled in it- would asking for just the guts be too cheeky? I'm just trying to do it on the cheap, and what with your soldering putting mine to shame.. but I understand if you wanna deliver a finished "product" to make it more worthwhile for you.
