Mike's Pedal Thread

[quote="Mike"](awesome) Graphics by Benecol.

A Strummer DLS:

This is getting excited to order my pedal from you, Mike. I love the graphics on the yellow box. I still have a little more money to save up before I can place my order. Do you let the customer choose input/output jack placement or is it dependent on the circuit? I like the Marshall knobbies I love those knobs on my amp, though my new Jag is slowing warming me up to Jag knobs.

I can change the jack placement if people prefer but sometimes the tightness of the build dictates where they go.

FAO: Mike

I played the song Reece and I did for the Doom Comp for a friend, part of which features my MBM Fender Blender. And he particularly loved the tone of the "chorus riff", when he asked what I used to get it I told him it was just my MBM Fender Blender and the natural drive of the Sunn. He LOVED the sound of it and when I showed him the pedal he was blown away with the pro quality. Might have snagged you a future customer.

Just wanted to pass his cheers along to you. Jorb well done.

Nice, thanks man. You have no idea how much stories like that make my day.

Finished an OCD for Johno's bandmate Mark, he did all the graphic design for it.

Also build another Echo Base board which worked first time, going to make a case with Benecol's new style graphics for it, gets drilled Tuesday.

Has benecol's graphic for the echo base been posted on here before? I really want to see it.

Nah it hasn't. It'll look like this:

Not sure what colour to paint the box. Suggestions?

I love the white pedals you have made - they just look classy.

I dunno why but I feel that delay and modulation are blue effects? Is that a boss thing?

Post by **Mike** » Sun Nov 01, 2009 9:35 pm

Water for chorus and caves for echos? I dunno.

Boss delays are white with blue text, their choruses are all blue.

I had to draw those big wide bracket things; they were fucking baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastards.

I would go blue, a darker blue, not quiet navy but not really bright blue. Just blue.

The website looks great! The "Pictures" option is great, its cool to show the different colours and the guts.

+1. The info is very nicely organized, but I must admit I loved the pedal frontpage/ button concept.

White/Silver for the delay side.
Caribic blue for the Mod. side

Up for a "Midfield General" build? Either that or i could grab the OCD you've built and a DLS from the fine folks at Catalinbread.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Nov 12, 2009 10:20 am

The OCD I built has gone I'm afraid.

I can do the same pedal again for Â£90 + P&P (Â£5) though if you were interested. I think individually those pedals can be had cheaper over there from the original guys.

I make them for Â£70 and Â£75 respectively.

Out of curiosity Mike - worth getting a quote off you for a dyna-comp?
They are Â£65 on hotrox...

I've never built one, la. I know Tim Tim has and I'm sure he has a PCB layout for one and possibly all the chips nad that already to hand.

Give him a PM. If he's too busy to build you one himself I don't mind doing it and compensating him for parts etc.
