And I should point out, that layout was almost entirely crowley's work: I just adapted it from WordArt (*spit*) to Illustrator.

And painstakingly coloured in all the fucking text.

We're all so fucking ENGLISH it's untrue.

Mikeyyyy, did you get a chance to fool around with the SFT? Was just wondering what your thoughts on it are.

You can play Reece's at Progfest, I've mailed it to him and I imagine he'll bring it.

It's interesting - sounds just brilliant on bass guitar I think. Plenty fuzzy up the dial, and the bass and treble controls are really powerful.

Loving that artwark

I'm starting to wonder how good can it possibly get?

Great work Mike, inside and out

I think the only thing that could have made that better would be if Tomassi was biting his bottom lip.

haha, spot on!

Some recents.

Tonebender MKIII for JohnnySeven. This is the Germanium sister to the Silicon filly that everyone was dryhumping at Progfest





And an old Effector 13 2AD that I did some work on for Freddy. Replaced the shitty footswitch with an Alpha, added a volume control, added a DC jack.
It's still loud as hell mind.

Nice to see we've finally dropped Stewart's logo.

whyeyeoughta etc.

hehehe such cheekiness!

That black looks good. I wouldn't have thought it would to be honest, but it looks proper deep.

Hello Mike, i have a few questions if possible, hope you don't mind. Is the MKIII Tonebender less wild than the MKII? (that's assuming that your MKII is quite wild sounding). Is it simply because it has a tone knob in the circuit? (Is that what makes it a MKIII, or is there a fundamental voicing difference too?)

No worries, questions are always welcome.

The MKIIIs are definitely less spitty than the MKIIs, although since this is a Germanium it still has plenty of bite, but I'm also looking to add a Silicon version of the MKIII (direct copy of Benecol's Tonebender) which will be daisy chainable and is also more bassy than the Ge version to my lineup. I've done layouts today actually.

The MKII's and MKIII's do sound different but I've not had two built and ready to mess with at the same time to be honest, they always go out to customers. I made Proggie a Tonebender MKII back in the day and it just sounds fabulous with his Les Paul and Blues Deluxe set up. So fucking ace. It's about setup I think to a certain extent, these are picky pedals.

Here's an interesting thread from harmony central on tonebenders:

Thanks Mike. I may trouble you for a pedal one day. Do you know if there are any YT demos of your tonebenders?

Um... I don't believe so actually.

Maybe Proggie will make you one if he sees this. His is a MKII though.

MKII is cool.

How small could you make a Fender Blender with all the knobs hardwired to full with just 2 switches 2 jacks and 2 leds and a power jack (no battery)? and how much would it cost?

Thanks for sorting the tonebender, i'm still away so i'll get payment to you when I get back - i'm accessing internet via my phone. Out of interest how much would you charge for a custom big muff with the salt booster blend control, mid pot and led/si switch like the one which was sold on here the other day? I like the idea of tidying up the fuzztone with the blend control.

You really wouldn't want the tone hardwired to full, believe me.

I couldn't fit it into a smaller case anyway, the board is huge. I do them as they are for £90 + P*P.

Johnny, I've PM'd you but the Muff would be

£60 standard
+ £5 mid switch
+ £5 diode toggle
+ £15 Saltbooster blend
