Tim Escobedo tytewadd is actually postage-stamp sized. Not sure it'd add value to anyone's rig though

Yeah, you can only fit one pot in there and then it's time enough, I could add a trimpot for volume on the board itself though.

Basically it's suited to one knobbers though.

Handmaded pedals galore!!!

Mini salt-boost is excellent.

I very much prefer hand made pedals... I'm glad there are such talented folks on the board in that regard.

There should be a Green Muff getting added to the mix any day now, yay Tim!

Thanks again Mike, I'll let you know how it goes.

ooh! that's cool as fuck. is a simple boost pretty much the only thing that would fit in that size of enclosure, just out of interest?
yeah pretty much, it's tight as a gnat's chuff in there. What else were you thinking of? A basic fuzz might also fit.

Mike and Kim, your pedals go in the mail today!

Crying out for a Bazz Fuss, that enclosure - have you breadboarded one of these yet Mike? Ace, simple little circuit. I love mine.

I dunno whether you sent it to me or not, I'll have to consult the Library at LivesleyManor.

RE: Trem Pedal

Hey Mike, what are my current color/led options?

Post by **Mike** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 3:29 pm

I can do most paint colours except black because then the decals don't show up.

"In Stock" I have:
Metallic Green, Metallic Blue, Gold, Flat Red, Flat Orange, Silver

But I have also in the past done the following:
White, Yellow, Baby Blue, Light Metallic Blue...

and can get another colour if you have another preference.

LEDwise you can have Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, Orange...

i'd be a total chonst if i had you do a color you don't have "in stock" but white case/red LED or yellow case/red LED sounds really sexxy-assed to me.

i just realized i still haven't fucking plugged in my new fab tone or daddy-o pedals into my amp to test drive them either...hahahaha. god, why have i become such a pedal cunt in the last six months. i don't even play an electric guitar when i play out these days.

hmm, let me think on this mike, but i'm like 75% ready to just say "GO GO GO!"

I gotta tell you, the silver mike uses is uber nice in person. I'd think about that color if I were you.

the twatbox he did for me was like a CAR/Sparkly Red that was tits mcgee...but white with red LED gives be bonerocks...i'm still really wanting to pull the trig on this...must still meditate upon it.

mike- might have a wee job for you, son.

i'm thinking i might like a bypass switch, just something that kills my signal. it would basically just be an on/off switch in the smallest possible enclosure. it wouldn't even need a power source unless i wanted an LED, would it? or am i talking balls?

killswitch in an altoids box???

That's correct, no power needed without an LED. Would you want it momentary or latching?

And Kim so is your mini mini Saltboost

Righteous! That's tiiiiiny.

It was well funny to work on. Normally pedals are "balanced" when I'm wiring them because the footswitch and the pots form a stand. this one was wonky as a Weeble.

er.. what does them terms mean?

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 6:37 pm

afaik

momentary: you press it down, the sound cuts out, you lift up, the sound comes back

latching: you press it down, the sounds cuts out, you lift up, the sound stays off until you press it again. like a normal pedal footswitch.

stewart · Post by **stewart** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 6:42 pm

aha. that makes sense right enough. latching then.

i might actually need two, but i'm going to rip my board apart and build it again first, so i'll see how it works out.

Post by **Mike** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 6:50 pm

Let me know either way. You'd want them in two small cases like that?
