Nope, I'm so busy these days that I build them and then I ship them. I literally have no time for doing demos, much less to build extra pedals not for customers to demo.

Clockwise from top left; Green Muff (skip), Green Muff with Tone Bypass (serfx), Slow Gear Clone (finboy), Saltbooster output stage for Slow Gear Clone (finboy), Bass Fuzz, Bass Overdrive. SInce this picture I've added wires to all of them and tested them. They all worked first time - now THAT is a good feeling.

i've got a request mr mike. though this can probably wait till you've got a lull in pedal building.

i wouldn't mind having my barber ltd clone refinished in white like my salt booster looper. i'd pay for the amazingness, i'm just not that keen on the cool aid graphics.

also, have you ever built a clone of an analogue man beano boost? what kinda dollar would that be?

I'd have to look into a schematic - his stuff is all mojo transistor wank however.

I'd have to drill a new case for the Saltbreaker, but I'm willing to do it when things calm down.

I read about it here, which has a list of HOT PEDALS. I'm intrigued by the SEVERE and the LocoBox The Choker.

i like the gigrig site. the actual products are quite expensive, but he seems to know his shizzle.

I'm going to be forced to get a star wars themed pedal at some point. Great work as usual Mike.

Benecol does such great Graphic work, and the Star Wars ones always come out pimping.

Some more builds before I'm off to Edinburgh this weekend.
