A question for after the Xmas period, but how much would a 4 knob Zvex Machine cost?

quick MBM loop/boost question. the pedal only powers up with a patch lead into the loop send. is there a way round it without having to have a patch cord stuck in it?

Yes if you have a soldering iron. Just solder a wire the sleeve lug of the jack connector to the ring connector.

What's the little green one- a buffer?

Yup, Klon buffer for a guy on HarmonyCentral who got in touch with me.

The IC Muff is another version of the Graphics Hurb came up with when I built him his version.

Yeah the pinup one looks ace. Very saucy!

Yeah I was unsure when the guy was chatting about it but it came out really nice I think. Benecol done good again.

Yeah it's still pretty classy.

Or you could label the controls 'Bonk', 'Razz' and 'Jugs' and call it the MBM Rumpslappa. Gotta be a call for something like that. :)

Just received the ram's head! I've been through at least 12 big muff clones and this is by far my favorite one right out of the box, from sound to finish. I've tried those hyped boutique ones and to tell the truth some of them are disappointing at first, and I need to move my rig to compensate the sound. IMO extra knobs wouldn't change anything unless the muff itself sounds good at the first place, at least from my experience. This one just rips in any setting, all I need to remember is crank the volume. Truly happy with Mike's ram's head. :D :D :D Did I mention the finish just look awesome??

Yup, someone wanted one just like yours after seeing it on my Custom Builds page. One of benecol's finest bits of work I think.

They sound alright too!
