Cheers, Benecol did a great job on these. Yeah that's a Black decal with clear sections on a white pedal. "The Dog's Bollocks" is another Woolly Mammoth - doing lots of these at the moment for some odd reasonDoog wrote:FUCKING MINT, sexy lowercase logo is "for the win". Love the blackandwhiteminstrel Mikeface too. Is it a black decal on a white pedal?Mike wrote:
What's the Dogs Bollocks, dare I ask?
[passiveaggressive]shame he didn't get me some templates done for today so I could do the drilling I was aiming to do, I soldered myself into the ground instead[/passiveaggressive]
I generally don't have time for demos these days sp3k, but thanks for the kind words.
Today I spent 7 and a half hours soldering.

So Mike have you ever considered making pedals your full time job? Just wondering if you ever plan to make a profession out of it. My brother-in-law just quit his job and is doing iPhone/iPad apps full time on his own. It's cool to see people take what they are passionate about and make it what they do for a living.

Currently I really love my Day Job (I'm a Senior Design Engineer designing cutting edge 3D Hardware for Phones/Mobile Gaming Devices/Netbooks etc) so it hasn't really been something I have considered. I would have to change my business model completely to do this full time.
It's just a bit of fun currently and I see nothing wrong with that

haha I'm a crap salesman. I have no patter.
More more more today (been working all day save for a run in the middle). Also build three more circuit boards. Unfortunately a Dual Drive I built for a guy got lost in the mail on the way to the Netherlands after the Ash ChaosTM so I'm having to build him a replacement and send it for free, which is a pain - but unfortunately I'm a man of honour.
Saltstorm (OCD variant) and Fuzzface in bare cases

Price Check: What would be the price for a modded Green Muff (Like the one you did for Dots), an OCD and the Dual DLS/OCD pedal you have made (Midfield general). Not sure if I need the DLS, but thought I would get you to quote me anyway. I am not quite to the point yet, but I want to know how much I need to save up for it.
Good Times!

Taylor, a modded muff is £75, whilest the DLS/OCD pedals I do for £90/£95 for shortscalers (I think, I'll have to check), £100 for other folks.
OCD or DLS's I do for £70 each as separate pedals.

wasn't someone just selling a DLS and a muff?
EDIT:
DLS in UK from Lorez - http://shortscale.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34396
Sovtek Green Muff in UK from stew (different than 'modded muff?') - http://shortscale.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34470
EDIT 2: grrrr. i see taylor wasn't wanting just a DLS (or at all in fact), but an OCD/DLS.
mike, please don't be pissed at me for pointing to these used products and potentially robbing you of business. i promise, that's not what my original intent was.
i just sometimes picture you running around like a clucker with no head; you're a busy bahstahd. i dunno how you do it all. <3
