Educate us. (Or is agreed not in the review biz anymore?) P.S. unlawful soup you have a hilarious username and your post made me laugh. I need to design and print out monkey-grip stickers.

ElectroFaustus pedals are mostly mechanical noise generators, funky feedback loops or piezo based things that you kick and they make noise. Some are intended to be instrument......things in their own right, only a few of them are what you'd remotely consider a traditional effects pedal.

woodch posted:$150?! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally? It's the whipping boy for this sort of thing, but well, Super Hard On. Beautiful sounding clean boost, the cheaper, not-hand-painted model retails for about $170, and I just built myself one for less than $30. And the only reason it went that high was because I sprang for a pre-drilled enclosure [my drill press is buried] with a fancy metal-flake powder-coat job. The enclosure and foot-switch alone for most pedals on the market outweigh the cost of the actual electronics inside. That said, the labor of making a handmade pedal is what you're largely paying for with the boutique stuff. It's not particularly hard, but it does take a good bit of time and know how to produce a product that will consistently perform after being kicked around night after night. But still, yeah, there is crazy markup in the guitar world, especially when it comes to pedals.

The enclosure and foot-switch alone for most pedals on the market outweigh the cost of the actual electronics inside. I was one of the people talking/making SHO clones earlier, but got caught up in other projects so never got time to start making any for others. I did make a few of the circuits on a small veroboard layout that I think are sitting around if anyone wants them. Hell, I could even throw kits together cheap. I'm actually about to get rid of my SHO clone and stick the circuit in my RAT clone, and rehouse the whole thing with 2 switches. But, I'm currently working on modifying the hell out of a guitar to have tone generation and a shitload of sensors to pull off some interesting effects. I TA a class where students build weird poo poo like that, and I'm trying to get it together quick before I send my resume off to a certain music gaming company. That guitar is going to end up ugly as hell and I'll be posting pics once it starts getting off the ground.

I already posted this in the effects thread, and I'm uncertain if this qualifies as stupid music poo poo or stupidly awesome music poo poo. I'm leaning heavily towards the latter.

You can find strain gauges in any cheap digital scale. Then you can pelvic thrust your way to funk street.

A Winner is Jew posted:Except for delays I would never spend more than $200 on any pedal basically ever. I had a friend quit his day job to open a boutique pedal business. He created a survey for all the local musicians and got pretty upset when he discovered that, even among his friends, no one would pay ungodly amounts of money for what was a either a clone of something that someone already did or sounded identical (or sometimes worse) than a store-bought pedal. "Hand-wired custom boutique" doesn't mean poo poo when your fuzz box is an exact copy of the schematic found in Craig Anderton's "Projects for Guitarists" and sounds like a cheap Arion stomp box.

If you're buying a clone for more than $80 you're getting ripped off, moreso if the builder is inexperienced at soldering and leaves the insides looking like a rats nest.

Before he quit his job we was in the aerospace/defense industry as an engineer. He made me a Mu-Tron Octave Divider clone that is very well constructed, if a bit touchy. Fucker doesn't track for poo poo if it even THINKS there's more than one note sounding. The issue was that he thought he should be getting top dollar for something hand made, even though it offered nothing over something mass produced. He made an overdrive pedal I conjunction with a well known guitar tech in the area that a lot of people liked, but no one bought because $300+ is a ridiculous price to pay for an overdrive pedal.

I sort of lucked into a trade that included a PRS SE Custom 24. I've never liked their looks. The same trade brought in a pair of Zakk Wylde EMG pups. After a restring and setup, I still hate the way it looks. But damnit, this guitar plays and sounds killer. So I'm keeping it.

All I ask, and I really mean *all* is that you learn the major pentatonic in case you're playing the minor blue-box over major chord progressions. It's the Cardinal Sin of BluesDad-ism. If you don't have this problem, pass it forward. Thanks and God Bless. If you really want to transcend: Dominant Pentatonic.

That's ok the SE Paul Allender has bats instead of birds. Also a custom strat style 6 point trem with adjustable saddles so you can fix intonation issues.

The only two non delay pedals I would go above $200 on is the Pitch Bay and Four Eye's, and they're both only $225, and I think they're both worth it for what they bring.

1.) lolololol at spending huge money on pedals, doubly so clones. The pedal market seems oversaturated as it is, that guy shouldn't have quit his day job literally. 2.) That PRS is quite nice, bluesdad be damned. 3.) I like the birds.

Hnnngggg! I have the chance to buy a Burns Marquee Pro for £395. Brand new, only ever played in the shop for short spurts. The Pro models I've found after some digging go for about £550 to £606 online. Should I do it?
