I made this today- new breadboarding/testing rig. Maybe I should mount a 100k volume pot below the board. Also might add an on/off for the power. The switch in there now is for bypass. Took about 10 mins to chuck on a working Dist+ circuit... now to the messing around!

Please tell me that when you use that you wear a white lab coat and a big pair of glasses with hundreds of different lenses on them.

I have a similar thing with a breakout box I made for I/O and bypass from an old case I drilled wrong. It really helps.

Keep it down, eh? I was hoping to win it for Â£21. Thanks for nothing.

Bloodsucking leech.

Oh.

i'm going to stick a large sum on that just to stop you getting it, fannybaws.

I'm leary of selling my stuff on ebay. I ain't got no REP

From the state of the Bassmuff pics, some glittery paint one odd coloured knob and some nice photos will take you a long way. The only way you'll build a rep is by getting some on there and out there.

I'm sort of fine still building to order. Yield is for when I get the slave kids.

Whenever I build excess pedals (like the Saltshaker and Saltbreaker in classifieds), they don't sell. Go figure.

Stick 'em on't 'Bay with a demo vid in the description, see what happens.

Yeah, but I've had some misses with ebay- like a companion fuzz clone might go for Â£40 one week, then Â£77 the next. And the last Husk(er)y Wolf went for Â£20, which isn't a loss, but not a particularly good use of my time!

WTFLOL. This is interesting:
Fredric Effects? HP

Now this could be one I made, the placement of jacks/switch/pots is correct. However the logo and paintjob isn't mine. Love the look of it though. If it's less than a tenner I'm buying it back!

I love the last line of the auction: "...direct without the waiting list at Fredric"

Congrats, you've gotten big enough that you're being pirated.

God that would be funny. I don't know what I'd do. Probably just call my pedal company something else and tell everyone that Fredric Effects are shit.

I sent the guy a question, and he said:

Hi Tim,

The serial number is 029, shipping to the UK would be 8,60 Euros.

All the best
Gerald

I checked my list. Number 29 was originally blue/white gingham. Obviously too macho for it's owner!

well that's why he changed it. Clearly the green gingham is where it's at.

Love it.
