Do like this one. The white knobs on white look very classy.

Nice case candy! I only chuck in instructions for the Weasel Stomp, cos that's complicated. Where do you get your cards done? I got my last batch from Moo.com, but they're a bit too spendy.

haha I need to actually get sweets again. I had a load from Halloween last year and I used picks from the DO YOU READY prints but they're all gone now.

I used vistaprint and don't think they were too spendy but be careful - they try to trick you into like a million things.

I'm including instructions mainly because people have been plugging AC adaptors into my pedals recently and I am SICK OF IT.

Agreed, this looks cool as fuck. What pedal is it?

haha sweet! He actually had a problem with it recently, something to do with the lower control plate (with the strange switch needing regrounding to the plate.

That's mad though! Love WH.

Mike, your IC Big Muffs (the 78 and Dream Box) look great. Are there any sound clips online?

I'm the owner of an original 79 ICBM so I'm always looking for comparisons. I use mine with a custom built bypass box, which is a bit of a pain. Wish I had an all in one design like yours.

Also, have you ever come across one of these in the UK? They're hand built here in the SF Bay Area:

Post by **Mike** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:59 am

There's a few videos on youtube, and linked from my website madebymike.co.uk on the IC Muff page.

Yup the ICBM is the forefather of what I'm doing, but I include the tone bypass, and use a smaller case, so I think there's room for us both in the market.

ICBMs are lovely - was about to get one when I lucked out and bought my original.

Yes, but let's talk about ME shall we?

Darren Hayman of Hefner fame did these for me (we're doing a bit of barter system malarkey in exchange for a pedal or two), so this should be the first of a bunch more images I can use on my website/promo materials etc.
