that would be wicked if you could, paint it some wicked 60's colour or hammered grey finish like the original.

Might be able to get mate to do psycheadelic swirly finish if you were interested, although it would probably cost a fiver more to buy all those paints. I could do it silver or grey metallic for the Â£45.

if it's only a fiver more, go swirly baby

can you put some original 60's mojo dust in it?

Post by **Mike** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 11:20 am

Of course. No worries.

then that's order number 3 from mikes pedals.

Ordering your case and Germanium Transistors now. Will get on it after Doogfest.

Hopefully will get something psycheadelic foryou paintwise but if not it'll be boring SIlver.

yeah no worries if not. if your doing it silver, do you reckon that hammerite might work well.

Post by **Mike** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 3:42 pm

Dunno, I'll have to look into how it costs vs. paint.

I know I can get good results with spraypaints so I might go that route from comfort.

no worries, i'm looking forward to the sounds of 60's mojo

ps car is sorted, doogfest is go!!!

Case for a Klon and Mezz's Green Ringer, both drilled yesterday. I primed them last night, and painted Mezz's pedal Metallic Green this lunchtime. I'm hoping to lay a white stripe on it later tonight and then clearcoat it tomorrow. I'll build the circuit into it after Doogfest.

The Klon is going to be silver, and up for sale. A few people expressed interest in one, so I'm building one. Parts for Prog's Fuzz and also a Fuzz Factory are also on order.

Well, I'm only building, to be fair.

After testing found an IC wasn't seated ok and that a jumper is going to the wrong track, just needs a cut and strap, no bother. Will resume after Doogfest

Wicked. I'm glad you like it mate.
It's based on a Tubescreamer with some clever filters to give it a more balanced and full sound. Cool eh?

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 1:27 pm

i think i must be the current record holder for the amount of mike pedals on a pedalboard,

current standing is

TIMMY, BOX OF MIKE, SALTBOOSTER.

With a mikesound tonefucker on the way, that'll be 4!!!
