Mike's Pedal Thread

That's the problem, the only purple paint available to me is this metallic stuff.

I'm saying "If this doesn't work, please choose a color that isn't purple"

Yup, Dark Green I can do.

I'm hopeful the warm paint will work but you never know

Sorry, got home and it still looked gash, so green it is! First coat on.

How many coats of paint does a typical pedal take? Do you use aerosols or spray gun?

Post by **Mike** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 6:35 pm

Aerosol and I normally do 1 Primer, 2 Paint, 2 Clear.

Everything takes longer in winter

Mike, this might be a massive job - do you do phasers or ring mods?

Really really love the look of the Effector 13 Whetstone phaser, are you able to do something along those lines? Or maybe a ring mod and a phaser in a box?

Post by **Mike** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 9:03 pm

Sorry bud, that's out of my range I'm afraid!

Phasers are a possibility if I get more time in a few months, but ring mods are a bit mental - I know timhulio makes a great one though? Look him up... The fredric effects thread is on this forum

Aye, that's the ticket.

Tim makes the Grumbly Wolf which is, I think, an MXR Dist. + with a switchable green ringer. Tremendously fun and dynamic pedal. We have some really talented folk on this site with Mike, Tim and Aen.

I can do Green Ringers, in fact I just made this - but they're not really ring modulators per se.

Fuzz Face and a treble booster is also a sweet combo! I had some fun today setting the OCD up as a treble booster. Tone dimed, drive off, volume boosted a tad and on high peak sounded great with the sun face and the dls too

Noirie's Bazz Fuss is done and sounding great.

As you can tell, the sides aren't perfect as painting in this cold is a fucking nightmare.

Also made this fuzz for a French guy who wanted these pictures of his band on it.

Looks like the fuckin Strokes!

The bottom one looks awesome, nice design.

It is the Strokes. Duh!

Those decals look amazing. I hope the French guy doesn't put velcro on the bottom of the Fuzzface. I honestly don't know how you crammed all those components into Noire's pedal. Such a cool little box.

the decals look great mike. True vanity pedals, love it.

Quick question about the pedals, what mm drills do I need to drill a case for jacks, pots, switch and LED?

Cheers

woah, that looks great.... i'm thinking maybe a B/W design on my foxx clone now.

...nmmmm, I'll have to have a scout around for something cool, I'll be intouch.

Jacks - 9.5mm
Pots - 7mm
LED bezels are 6.5mm for plastic and 8mm for metal
Footswitch is 12mm
DC jack is 12.5mm

I start at 3mm and do passes at 7mm for all the larger holes.

The 12mms I go via 9.5mm also. You could also use a stepped drill bit but I'm not a fan.

Cheers thanks Mike, thiink a llittle trip to B&Q to buy some new drill bits for the larger holes
