Wayne's World graphics is a fucking great idea.

Did lots of building last night/today:



Owen's Custom switcher - this morning I changed the Overdrive switch to use Millenium Bypass so I could isolate the LED completely from the final switch which is used to change the amp channel. Really happy with this design, I'm hoping it nails the functionality he wants



Judson's Saltshaker



Dual True Bypass Loop - for a customer



Saltbooster - for a customer



Echo Base - for me unless anyone really wants it.

Man those look really good! Glad to see more customers outside shortscale come your way

These days probably only 20% of my builds are for you guys. Youtube supplies a lot, as does the website, word of mouth and repeat business.

I'll never forget what got me started though. <3
People who order from here often get better deals when it comes to price and custom options for free.

I think i can speak for all of us when i say that we really appreciate it

Some folks at HC had a huge discussion about the OCD vs the Hotcake in terms of dino jr tones. Figured i might shootout the two. Very different pedals however.

Where is portrait saltshaker? Wanted to see how that turned out.

To be drilled on Tuesday along with another Saltshaker (landscape) and two Saltboosters.

Wave 2 of Mike's 8 orders in one go extravaganza!

Pedals look blinding Mike.

I'm pretty interested in a Salt Shaker Lite aswell. I don't really have any modulation on my board!
I'm basically looking for a trem/vibrato sound that gets a nice and slow vintagy sound and black keys choppy trems aswell. Something you can build in a saltbooster sized case? I know the SS lite doesn't have a wave knob so I'm not sure if that would cut it

Mike, how much would an Echo Base be with custom decal etc? I would be happy to design the decal of course

Oooh, the Fuzzface is different to what I thought on guitar, but very nice. Not nearly as fuzzy as I thought it'd be, it's actually quite quiet.

It should be pretty loud if you have the Fuzz and Contour knobs fimed and the Bias on minimum?

If you want a simple small trem, I'm not your man - second hand Cool Cat all the way I'm afraid.

Well the Echo Base ain't simple by a long stretch so I'm afraid it's £100 same as with a standard decal. Also knob and jack placement is non negotiable, as you can see it only just fits in the case as it is.

To be honest there are cheaper and more varied delay options, with Behringer and EHX supplying some good choices.

Personally though, this (or a rehoused version of my 1st Echo Base) is going back on my board. It's my favourite delay, but I would understand if people were put off by the price - however the chips aren't cheap and it takes many hours to build.

Wow. I'm impressed big time. That gold is perfect!
You outdid yourself Mike. They all look so solid and professional. You do a good tidy job putting the guts together as well.

That sounds pretty good. Totally worth it in my opinion, I will PM you soon!

I'll keep an eye out for one. They're great affordable pedals but the top mounted jacks throw me off.

Which reminds me, how much would a low profile footswitch run? Just need one for the RC2 that doesn't take up much space. I believe thom had one made aswell

I don't know what type of footswitch you mean but I'm sure there's plenty of people on HCFX that could sort you out in the US and save shipping

I just started off with everything at 12 o'clock and it was quite quiet, so I turned the volume and the fuzz up to aboot 4 o'clock. I like it like that, it's got a gainy sort of nice clarity but if you hit the strings it's gets really quite fuzzy, it's kewl.

Don't laugh, but I was playing Stairway to Heaven on it and it was perfect for the soft and ROCK dynamics.

Mike, the foot switch looks amazing... really chuffed. Can't wait to get it plugged in.

Thanks very much for your patience on this one too, not one complaint on design / colour !!

the color(s) of owen's switcher is glorious.
