That's the lame-wad that ripped off Hurb for his Expression Factory thing!

Cancerlol. Is this a long story? Did he rip you off?

Here's a custom build for a fellow who wanted his muff bigger! This pedal is great for smuggling stuff.

Busy with enclosures!

Any chance of you ever building an IC Muff, like we were on about a while back?

timhulio · Post by **timhulio** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 10:15 pm

As a one-off, definately. If I get bored one day I'll sort out a PCB layout. I do recall someone already makes a clone of this pedal though, but not sure if it's still in production.

Yep, Euthymia make the ICBM; I just remembered that I'd PMed you a while back about a job lot of PCBs.

Blimey look at all them boxes. Tim's going big-time!

Indeed, you look like a big shot with all of those cases. I think it's cool to have so many ready on hand instead of making them per order. Makes for an almost instant turn around rate. I'm even considering purchasing another one of your muffs!

I do make a few one-offs, but with the proven designs like the percolators and green muffs I know I'm never gonna be able to make more than I can sell, so it's kinda sensible to do it in batches. As to whether there's a global market for 9 Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz clones I'm not so sure...!

+1 for an IC Muff.

I used to own a Euthymia ICBM, but it was an early model with no DC option, also the lack of an "On" LED drove me nuts. Sounded great though, and I've often regretted selling it.

MC-FX also do an IC Muff, but they're not RoHS compliant so he won't ship to the UK.

Cool. I'll make a couple next batch. Gotta sort out a layout first though. There is one out there, but I don't really wanna rip it off.

This is insanely exciting news for me hulio. I wait with bated breath.

timhulio · Post by **timhulio** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 12:46 pm

Woot, done one. Untested!

Post by **Mike** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 12:54 pm

haha.. weird. it's totally different to a regular Muff, no tone recovery stage. I bet it has tons of volume, hence R18 to pad some down.

I will test this pedal for you, if you want. No charge.

Post by **Mike** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 1:20 pm

Do you have a breadboard rig to do the necessary test and debug?

benecol · Post by **benecol** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 1:38 pm

I have a breadboard.

Post by **Mike** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 1:39 pm

Plug the board into some Ciabatta then.
