Great guitar and great pedal - is it a vintage jag?
Loved the beginning with 'Cherub Rock'

Cheers Hurb! Excellent demo. Sounded great on the Pumpkins stuff. I am glad to hear this demo. I had my heart set on a Green Big Muff with Mods, but I like they way your IC muff sounded better. I am trying to figure out which of Mike's muffs can get more of that Jack White "schweeling" sound and that sounds closer to what I am after than the Green Muff. I appreciated your thoughts about comparing your IC muff to the Green Muff.

Does your IC Muff have any mods on it? I remember you mentioned a tone bypass switch during the demo.

Glad it has been helpful, the pedal has a tone bypass switch like some(most/all) of the originals had. I believe it is just a carbon copy of how the og was made. Mike will answer that better though.

Nice one Hurb, sounds amazing. Really pleased to be involved in this pedal. Needs the tone switch working backwards to be benecol vintage correct, mind...

YAY

Fierce - thanks for making this demo mate (Jaguar and all!) and I'm dead glad you love the pedal. It was so much fun to make.

I've asked Reece to add it to the website now.

Hope I did it proud Mike, I love it to bits.

Dude, I have ALREADY had someone email me inquiring about ordering one on the back of this very demo.

I'd say you kicked the fucking doors off!

Nice one! Although it's the pedal that is doing the job really. All I did was get the mic placement as right as I could to get it sounding as close on record as it does in the room. (I did spend ages and two different mic's trying to get it close, that's why lady hurb came in at the end. she though I had finished as I was making a racket for ages haha) other than that I doubt it was my amazing licks that did it, they are just good sounding pedals mate. I'm glad my demo did good though.

haha the End is great, it says to me "BUY MBM PEDALS AND YOU WILL HAVE A GIRLFRIEND", which is after all, the effect I'm trying to give.

It really does sound great mate, I really appreciate all the effort you went to in getting it sounding gewd on tape.

Ha, you should definitely market mbm as a lifestyle choice, more than just a range of pedals.

Be Made by Mike

That sounds like a great T-shirt idea. Have the Logo with "Be Made by Mike" on the back. I could also see a cool t-shirt with the Mike Klon logo or a "Got Salt?" T-shirt.

I would buy one.

When I finally do have kids, they're getting MadeByMike romper suits.

Are you getting benecol to do custom decals for those too?
