The Fuzzface and the custom green muff looks really cool

Hey Mike, how are you getting outside the shortscale democgraphic, are you advertising on craigslist and whatnot? Other forums?

you know how the eq section reduces the gain of the pedal. if you took the eq section out of the circuit, would the gain increase like it does if the EQ is turned down?

It would sound the same as with the EQ's off.

Various stuff.

- Word of mouth from previous owners
- Repeat custom is a big one
- People finding youtube videos
- Guys finding my site from Google
- people on various other forums (stompbox forums, HC, Offset etc) - but I don't advertise anywhere.

I can't mod that pedal, it's tight as hell in there.

That is already taken care of by Benecol. You're going to love it.

I have it, and the new case for it is done. I'm wiring it up tonight with any luck, and if not, definitely tomorrow.

OMG! that is fucking off the chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks even better that i'd even begun to imagine.

thank you mike and benecol.

so the footswitch toggles between jcm/plexi and the switch is revision 1 or 2?

Post by **Mike** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 9:50 am

It went in the mail first class recorded yesterday, hopefully the strikes won't hold it up too much.

The boost toggle is the V1/V2 switch. To the left is V2, to the right is V1. V2 has more gain and midrange attack at gain settings below 3 o clock.

The left footswitch is your modes. Green = Plexi, Red = JCM800.

IT"S HERE!!!!!!!!!! looks fucking mint. can't wait to try it out!!!

Post by **Mike** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 10:03 am

hahah TIMING

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 12:15 pm

sounds even better than before. the footswitch does just what i want it to. plexi for rhythm, jcm for lead. all is working well. benecol's graphic looks brilliant, even better in real live. i'm really stoked, thanks mike!!! thanks benecol!!!! drinks on me when we meet up again.

it's never ever coming off the board now.

No worries mate, glad you're happy with it.

Just looking at Prog's DLS is making me grin like an idiot. Next level shizz right there.

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 1:58 pm

this is what it used to look like

Did Mike do another coat of white over the red? It'll look sweet as it ages. Battle damage!

The Strummer pedal is lush.

Post by **Mike** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 7:26 am

Nah, it was another case I had drilled, but the red one will be sanded back and redone.
