I haven't to be honest because I've been a busy motherfucker at work (I finished these pedals by working from 8 till 11 last night ahha.. IF you could that would be MINT mate. Also see my comment in the Awards thread re: Credits on site

Yeah, about that... I'm torn between;

and

Is there any way you could build both into one box? Battery power is a must, obviously.

it's way bigger than all the rest of them but it's so positive that i think the whole thing should be there.

am now compiling fuzzface images for this slideshow.

Cheers mate, it looks good.

Benecol - I've already ordered the ZVex style pots so I can fit it all in.

I also want the whole thing mounted on a belt buckle.

I'm also going to work a GameBoy into it to entertain your spawn.

Mike,
Can your Fuzzface run off a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2? I know you said in your video it has to be isolated and wanted to make sure it would work with the Pedal power or a separate wall wort.

I dunno, if it the pedal power2 has an isolated out it will, if it doesn't then it will fuck other regular pedals on the same power supply. Best to email them askling about daisy chaining positive and negative ground pedals.

According to the website, each output is completely isolated. Would it then run on a standard 9V adaptor?

That's the way I wire 'em!

Sorry for the all nit picky questions. I have actually watched the demo video. I am in the process of powering my new pedal board and I am just making sure that the fuzzface would work with my rig before I buy one. I think it will. I would hate to blow up a perfectly good pedal because I am being a noob. Hopefully Santa will be nice and I can order my Saltbreaker/Saltbooster Combo pedal and a FuzzFace pedal from you soon.

Santa came through and we are good to go on those 2 pedals. I sent you an email just let me know what I need to do for you. Very stoked about finally getting started on these pedals.

i know this was a one off done a ways back, but i was wondering if you had a video demo of it, and also what it would cost me to grab one..
as i love the quality of the pedal you did for st.jimmy (that i acquired) but am not quite getting the tonez out of it that my noisy little heart desires..

Post by **Mike** » Sun Dec 27, 2009 4:08 pm

That's a ZVex Machine that I did for Benecol, I didn't make a demo of it before sending it, but if you check youtube you'll hear what it sounds like (i.e. nuts)

Mike wrote:First thoughts are that the toggle switch there will get in the way of the circuit board for the breaker. Can it be moved up between volume and boost? Jacks can only really be on the sides unless you drop the breaker controls into a triangle. It does look a bit dark also.

Here is my latest mockup. I moved the direction switch and brightened up the graphic. I am thinking Daphne Blue for the box color to match the Murphmobile.

Post by **Mike** » Sun Dec 27, 2009 4:42 pm

OK, we'll need Benecol to do is thing with an accurate layout based on part sizes. Do you want the sides of the box Blue? It's a pain in the arse but I can do it. I have to paint the top white to get your graphic to look correct (photorealistic). I forsee masking tape in my future.

We'll need as much space as possible between the footswitches for me to place the saltbreaker circuit board, but it should work.
