My dad's found bout halves, but the sound of it there's NO jacks or anything in it.. and no screws. USEFUL! If you just gaffatape it together for transit, I'll source some screws once I get home!

He said he'd send it very soon..

Fair play, sounds good mister.

hahah Cyclops arrived. WTF were you thinking?

Anyway, should be able to get it sorted over this weekend and back to you after that.

THE CYCLOPS was the name of feedback loop that used to be in it, armed with a single knob... hence the name

Brilliant, thanks dude!

I think someone on here painted their Shredmaster/Drivemaster white and it looked AWESOME, so I'm gonna do likewise.. can I has a MADEBYMIKE decal for it?

Yeah, I'll throw one in for you.

Joanna wanted to paint the teeth nail polish colours but we'll leave it if you're going to do it white. I'm confused by how the battery compartment works, did you bend it to shit or something, or does it get held in the bottom of the case by the back? I don't have a DC jack that will fit in that square hole I don't think so it might have to be battery powered for the LEDage. Will look properly tomorrow.

It's possible I did bend one of the "walls" of the battery cavity inwards to make space, I've not seen it for a while. I can just gaffa-tape the battery in place.. and battery-powered is fine, that's what I was thinking initial anyways

If you could put one set of ins and outs on the back panel, and the others pair on either side, that'd be great. I'd imagine that's how you'd probably do it anyways, just thought I'd check.

yep. That the plan!

Doog your Guitar/Korg switcher and A/B box is done. The toggle switches the modes and the LED is a red/green dual colour LED. Powered by battery which is enabled when you insert a jack into the input on the top (the original input). in A/B modes it switches the inputs going to the original output on the top, i.e. it switches between the inputs on the top and the right side.

Finboy this is your Saltbooster for your Boost & Loop pedal

it reminds me of a tonka toy for some reason.
nice, simple and chunky.

why didn't you put your face on the front? that gap needs something.

BTW Doog here's the details:

Toggle up - A/B mode.

When LED is Red, top input is connected to top output - i.e. normal, the way the pedal would have been stock
When LED is Green, right hand side input is connected to top output.

Toggle down - Guitar/Korg mute-select mode
When LED is Red, top input is connected to top output - i.e. normal, and left hand side output is muted - Guitar Mode
When LED is Green, right side input is connected to left hand side output, top output muted - Korg Mode.

LED is powered by battery (supplied), which is connected when you have a jack in the top input (i.e. The Guitar input).

I also found some screws that work so it's all ready to go. Will mail out Monday.

I think it's class looking as it is.

Post by **Doog** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 7:41 pm

I at least need to get rid of the gaffa tape, instantly makes it look shitty.

it reminds me of when people used to tipex their names and other random stuff to guitar/pencil cases and the like at school.
