Clockwise from top left; Green Muff (skip), Green Muff with Tone Bypass (serfx), Slow Gear Clone (finboy), Saltbooster output stage for Slow Gear Clone (finboy), Bass Fuzz, Bass Overdrive. SInce this picture I've added wires to all of them and tested them. They all worked first time - now THAT is a good feeling.

i've got a request mr mike. though this can probably wait till you've got a lull in pedal building.

i wouldn't mind having my barber ltd clone refinished in white like my salt booster looper. i'd pay for the amazingness, i'm just not that keen on the cool aid graphics.

also, have you ever built a clone of an analogue man beano boost? what kinda dollar would that be?

Weird, I was just reading about that pedal today.

I'd have to look into a schematic - his stuff is all mojo transistor wank however.

I'd have to drill a new case for the Saltbreaker, but I'm willing to do it when things calm down.

yes, that'd be fine mr mike.

I read about it here, which has a list of HOT PEDALS. I'm intrigued by the SEVERE and the LocoBox The Choker.

i like the gigrig site. the actual products are quite expensive, but he seems to know his shizzle.

I'm going to be forced to get a star wars themed pedal at some point. Great work as usual Mike.

Post by **Mike** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 8:01 am

Benecol does such great Graphic work, and the Star Wars ones always come out pimping.

Some more builds before I'm off to Edinburgh this weekend.

Woolly Mammoth with Humphrey Bogart

OCD with Psycho (or as Doog calls him, Rob Brydon)

Finboy's Slow Gear build (with trimpot settable Saltbooster to compensate for volume loss)

I've always fancied a Slow Gear, don't know if i'd ever use one though.

Well I've never had much time for muffs/fuzz pedals before this, they always left me dissapointed in one way or another.
This pedal has changed all that, a versatile responsive warm fuzzy little distortion box with its own characther. Loving it.

Glad to hear it mate, you helped me out of a tricky spot there - I'm glad that one found a home.
