that looks seriously cool!

Thomas your pedal is done!

For such a complicated thing I'm really happy with how neat it turned out. Although it still does look like the wiring loom in the Millenium Falcon

Wow Mike, that is a thing of beauty!

I like seeing the gut shots. It puts any "Hmmm, maybe I should try to build a pedal..." thoughts in their place. The man has some serious skills.

indeed it does

hmm.

mike you have built/are going to build a small clone clone right?

i was gonna buy the dano cool cat chorus and then out came all the nasty stuff and i didn't. i've been looking around for a chorus but more mike pedals can only be a good thing. how much you reckon one would set me back?

More than a regular one mate, I've seen the new version (true bypass and all) for like Â£47 online.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:38 pm

ah.
i'll keep looking then.

but i will find an excuse to buy more pedals from you, don't get that wrong.

Thomas your pedal is posted 1st class recorded. You should have it tomorrow.

Lamp I got some Mini Astro Black Metallic for your pedal.

Benecol I got some Ford Diamond White so you can go hogwild with decals. I ordered laserjet decal paper like a DICK so I had to reorder inkjet stuff which should come tomorrow. I did some practise with the smeared to shit laser stuff and at least worked out some do's and don't's for getting the decals onto pedals.

Have you not got a laserjet printer at work you can have a go on? That'll look ace on the ones we've already done.

Post by **Mike** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:14 pm

I might bring the one piece of unsullied paper into work and give it a go first thing in the morning. Any other time and I wouldn't be able to guarantee my job going through first as they're all networked.

It's probably best that I just use my inkjet at home.

Although a decal of random Engineering scribble all over the pedal would actually be pretty fucking swish.

benecol · Post by **benecol** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:47 pm

Funnily enough, I've been looking for engineering or scientific symbols for echoes. To go on the trem, obviously.

This is what you're after:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_series

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_transform

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_impulse_response (time based filtering)

Post by **Mike** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:51 pm

In fact I should totally name the Delay and Tremolo pedals after Fourier and Laplace.

Not pretty enough: I'm going back to my 'pictures of submarines' line of enquiry.
