(Or, stuff for stompin` on)

 

 

This is where i`m going to show off a little bit, because i never thought i could do this in a month of Sundays, i`m referring to making my own pedals and these are the results, I know the paint jobs are a bit naff, but you don`t listen to the paint, do you,

 

                                              Well I don`t.   

                                                                                                                 

           ( Mind you, It may be better listening to the paint, rather than my attempts at guitar playing    )  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

One of my first, a simple A/B box.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This one adds an effects loop / channel to your amp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           

Home built channel change + effects /  reverb switch for my Roland Cube 60.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   

Simple clean booster pedal.   

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                   

Does what it says on the tin !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

My latest, a simple kill switch. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                              

A very nice Treble booster.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               

Double effects switch for my Roland bass cube 100. (Which has now been  sold  ).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                               

A very nice blusey overdrive.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Reverb and tremolo switch, (for my YGM-3), made from an old two button Marshall chanell changer switch housing.

This one has now had a re-fit to include a dedicated power input, two new BLUE led`s, and two new footswitches, as it was all showing signs of age

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Double effects loop switch, (Adds 2 channels to your amp).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here`s one i DIDN`T make :

           

It`s an ART Tube Pre-amp, not an underfoot type thing, more desk-top, or hooked up to a mixer, it gives a nice valvey sound to a mike or just about any instrument.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And THIS is the underfoot stuff i`m going to be trying to use for the foreseeable future:

            

Mainly electric guitar and bass pedals, but most of them can make semi-acousttic instruments do some very interesting things  , Heavy metal mandolin anyone ? 

That lot has now been simplified a bit to this:

             

Not quite as versatile, but the other lot was taking up most of the available space on my dining room floor, and will be kept for use in places with a bit of room.

For anyone interested in this lot, the details are on the electric guitar page 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually this lot has changed (Again), and it looks like this now :

As I keep saying, it`s gettin` silly again, init !
