Cheap thrills.

You gotta wonder.

Demos somewhat unconvincing, but handmade in USA, True Bypass, and $35 usually don't appear in the same sentence.

They should change the title of the page, it says they cost $30.

Shit. With the price of boxes and switches going down lately making the most mundane copy of a pedal out there is cheap, I bet his parts total $20 max for everything excluding labor. $15 profit per pedal is nice pocket change. I should do this to fund my original projects.

BTW Hurb I should just PM but I'll take this opportunity to derail a thread and say I got the second trem section working, I am going back to redo the first with some things I learned in the second and hopefully remove the buzzing noise. After that it's just adding vibrato, which I'm starting to think will be redundant with the high speed trem sounds. Then I'll be making new sound clips, getting approval, and on to actual construction.

And I have a new laser printer so I can actually make this one on PCB all pro-like.

Meanwhile.....anyone want to buy some generic pedals like these here for $30? I can probably do the same for less. And even make them sond better. I'm thinking about it, depends on the interest level.

they look pretty high end, don't know about their sound, the mp3's dont work

I fuckin' hate single dial FX if they're anything other than a volume booster.

the crystal clean booster and clipping boost both sound nice to me.

i like the clipping boost sample, though it reminds me of a lo-fi filter box that i got a schematic for out of a magazine and made for 15 bucks out of radio shack parts. i guess you get a groovier housing for it, and what is PROBABLY a more versatile control (though the clipping sound is probably always the same on this one). i'd sooner go with a PenPedal

YES!

A good idea would be to offer a "DIY Kit" where you send out the circuitry in a jiffy bag to save weight and mass for cheaper postage, so all we have to do is buy an enclosure. Well, for us Brits that'd be a good idea anyway.
