Mike's Pedal Thread

Post by **Mike** » Sun May 03, 2009 6:46 pm

Thomas (neÃ© Dinosauria) deserves all the credit, for it is him that has done all the work, I have just talked about myself in pm's.

It's still a work in progress and all pictures will be updated with photos of the "production" model versions of pedals with the decals you have designed when I have build and photographed them. We'll whack a credit to you on the site also if you want to put some thought into how that should look.

I'll cast an eye over it if you want, but I'm no web designer, nosirree. Very nice, though.

Cheers, feel free to pm me or Thomas about any ideas you have, you guys are like my TECHNO MEN.

I love the video embedding. And when I have all the pictures taken he's gonna do some funky stuff with them.

i checked out the site earlier. while i won't claim to know anything about design at all (two years of graphic design of three years of art. UK EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, YOU HAVE CLEARLY TRIUMPHED) here are some things i reckon could be improved.

grey bar at the bottom. what's it there for?
assuming the pedals page is going to grow, maybe more of a kinda e-bay style deal where theres are thumbnails to one side and then you click and get the full size image and the description on the same page. if it comes to it i could see if could knock up some javascript to do this.

i like the actual design though, in this day and age of flashy websites with fuck all content (one of which i ran, when you think "what shall i make my website about" after designing it you know you're doing it wrong) i much prefer simpler websites such as this one.

Well it's very much still a work in progress, and I'm such Thomas would be happy to receive all comments and help, he's been mainly taking queues from me, an aesthetically challenged badger.

I don't know if this has been suggested before but a custom gallery would be a real nice feature.

Post by **Mike** » Sun May 03, 2009 8:54 pm

I believe that is work in progress.

that echo base lite is damn tempting... what size enclosure would it fit in?
for $120 + shipping for a digital delay w/ analogue flavour... damn... the dd20 isn's as appealing as this...

double

Same as the Echo Base, the larger case I use is not large (it's 125mm x 95mm) but you can't fit this pedal into the Saltbooster case.

definitely an option for my delay of choice... stand by

Mike - where's the best place for buying knobs in the UK?

timhulio · Post by **timhulio** » Mon May 04, 2009 6:05 pm

This is my favourite page... lole:

Not really! Looks good, and nice tone to the bio section.

UK sucks to be honest mate. bitsbox.co.uk or Maplin are both fairly shit.

If you want any let me know and i'll add them to my next Banzai order.

Thom · Post by **Thom** » Mon May 04, 2009 7:19 pm

Nice one, cheers. I'll take a look and let you know.

BTW - completely failed to make it to the post office this weekend, so Blackstar footswitch is not on its way yet.

Post by **Mike** » Mon May 04, 2009 7:22 pm

No worries, there are far more exciting things to do on a Bank Holiday than stand in line at a post office.

Your pedal (and Reece and Owen's) all go into the post tomorrow first thing, first class, recorded.

Thom · Post by **Thom** » Mon May 04, 2009 7:29 pm

Very excited.

When you next order from Banzai then, can you please get me 3 cream pointer knobs and 3 cream chicken-head knobs?

Post by **Mike** » Mon May 04, 2009 7:32 pm

I shall endeavour to do so, yup.
