How about a name that's not derived from mine?

Haze Effects sounds better to me.

Thats kind of what i was thinking. HazeFX is the alias I use on forums when Haze is taken.

It looks classier already.

I recommend you make maybe one of a few of the more popular ideas so you can photograph and demo them to get people's creative juices flowing. Plus then people will have confidence in your building ability.

Thats the plan

Prog's footswitch for his orange will get nocked out by this weekend and then I'll order some goodies and get some of this stuff knocked out so people can get a feel for these little boxes and their potential applications

Have you knocked one out already?

To be honest its all been little things but I've been teaching a friend of mine how to solder this week so he can fix his own things from now on. We've knocked out a tap tempo switch for his dd-7 which also made my rc-2 10x more useful, and a true bypass loop hacked from radioshack parts. Fully confident in my soldering abilities but if I fail miserable you're all free to point and laugh.

I think Tim was making a wank joke.

I figured, but its an honest question.

Ordered parts to make a few starve breakout boxes to make and demo. I'm quite interested to see how the Eau Claire Thunder will react.

Going with Mike's advice I'll make 3 or 4 of these for good measure, one as my personal unit to keep/demo and the rest will go in the Classifieds.

How about Haze-arai Pedals, a pun on your name and Hazarai, nicked from EHX.

The second you can make a cheap basic boost I am ordering!

I want a MBM but I can`t justify shipping from UK plus getting slapped with conversion for a simple boost... (SAVING FOR FUZZ FACOTRY)

I'll probably do a mosfet booster eventually but it may be in the $60 range. Mike makes a great boost thats more than worth his asking price and shipping isn't so bad

At Â£5 I was actually making a loss shipping pedals airmail, so I've had to move to Â£6 for international orders unfortunately.

Bear in mind P&P means Postage & Packing, so that Â£6 covers the Jiffy Bag, internal packing material (OK, I usually recycle stuff), and my time in packing the pedal and cycling it to the Post Office. Also you get a free plectrum which says Do You Ready on it.

All told I think my shipping prices are more than reasonable. You pay the postage cost and I eat the rest, all the above stuff I mentioned I get nothing for.
