Vintage aficionados -here’s one for ya – it’s a great drive pedal that emulates the sound of cranked vintage Fender amps. Seen as how Fender are pushing the whole “Pawn Shop / Distressed” concept, I thought I’d style this in a similar manner. The finish is distressed and the knobs are mismatched, gives it a …
Here’s a great looking pedal – the Aero’ Drive. It’s a dual effect – firstly there’s a Hermida Zendrive for a great touch sensitive medium-gain overdrive, then a Zvex SHO for a loud, clean solo boost. Perfect pedal for smaller setups, feeding into a single channel amp, driving a slightly overdriven amp further – well …
Here’s an, erm, interesting one. It’s the Bad Kush – octave down fuzz pedal. Built with the client’s unique choice of graphics. Great, fat, octave down tones with a lovely fuzz sound. The client is obviously green-fingered, I can only imagine that Bad Kush is some kind of flowering rockery plant …
FX Loop booster. Custom build to customer’s design. Adds life and sparkle back to your tone when using long cable runs in the effects loop of your amplifier. Boost is set by a small trimmer, so it won’t get knocked when transporting. Simple, but a great addition to your live rig.
Presenting the “Birdbrain”. Klon Centaur clone, with customer choice of graphics. Faithful to the original Klon Circuit, with great sounding buffered bypass. Internal charge pump means you can power the pedal off a standard 9v power supply and the internal circuitry still runs at the 18v of the original pedal. Even cooler, the little bird …
Here’s a flipping brilliant pedal – the Dual Buffer / Splitter. Plug your guitar into the input, the signal is then split into two great sounding buffer circuits, providing two separate outputs. Great for driving two amps at the same time with one guitar, for the ultimate stage setup. Imagine running a cranked AC30 and …
Here we have the Quoom – a great autowah / envelope filter based on the Snow White Auto Wah. Endless tweakability to get that perfect funk sound. Check out the graphics too – I’m reliably informed that the customer was “The King of Doom” back in the day … hence the great retro design!
Warm Muffin – another of my Crowther Hotcake clones. Great range of drive – from cleanish boost to full on rock, but remains dynamic at all settings. Here’s what the buyer had to say about it: “Played for about an hour tonite. Hands down sweetest overdrive I’ve used. Impressive thing for me is even with …
A great fun build for local legend Aarren Mowle. Clone of the Fulltone Ultimate Octave, which itself is a clone of the Foxx Tone Machine, with an extra switch and a couple of component changes. Goes all the way from fat, round fuzz to nasty octave up madness. As used by Josh Homme from QOTSA …
Faux Tone machine. Retro styled clone of the Foxx Tone Machine with switchable octave up effect. Get that Hendrix and Queens of the Stone Age tone! Metal nameplate includes mis-spelled “Octive” tag, just like the original. Custom made for regular customer and effects nut Paul Say, had a fair bit of interest in this one. …
