Anytime you do a good replica of a vintage fuzz it'll sale. Sure, word has to get out there that it's good so some foot soldering will need done but Tonebenders and the like will always sell, along with the muffs. I'm sure the videos that'll be done by prog and doog will be very worthwhile. I know I'll be interested in the IC Muff.

I was thinking about this the other day. Would there be a market for some sort of pedalboard organising true bypass box? Like, a small box that you leave on your pedal board that has four jacks. A send/receive to go around the board, one labelled guitar (in) and one labelled amp (out). It'd be footswitchable so that you can turn on your board or bypass it. You could put a buffer in it for when the signal is going around the board.

So, it means that when you approach your board at a gig or whatever, your amp and guitar go into two very accessible and tidy ports, your tone sounds much better when you're not using pedals, and much better too when you are.

Call it a Tone Tamer or Handler or something. Board Housewife?

All those suggestions sound great. I am sad you are considering dropping the beloved Saltbreaker. Not only do I love the sound, but its cool that it is an original Mike design (I believe).

I would love to see a shootout between your 3 muffs just so we can hear the differences. The video demos really sell the pedals as far as I am concerned. I know that's difficult due to limited time. Maybe some MBM owners could put together demos of all our pedals and you could link to them as well.

You might also consider some standard Combo pedal offerings. Certain pedals matched with the Saltbooster. The space and power savings having my Saltbreaker and Saltbooster in one box is phenomenal.

Another idea is to show what LED color options you have so people don't keep asking you every time.

Maybe you could call the Small Clone pedal "Mini Me" or "Mini Mike"

Nah it was still a good old tweak of something that already existed, nothing in the pedal world is sacred I'm afraid.

I would be only too willing to link towards other people's videos. I suppose I could add the colour and LED colour options to the site also, wouldn't hurt.


I really like Paul's pedalboard organiser pedal idea aswell - very cool.
