My soldering skill begins and ends at 1/4" jack plugs, so I'm safe there. Having bought of their pedals I am in no doubt of the sound quality, so I am excited to use it as well as just look at it and sigh

Not seen one like this before. What a beauty!

I mustard mitt the price of custom pedals and basses had me rolling my eyes in the past. But the money I ever waste buying so many pedals when really my board is just great as is, is ridiculous. The thrill of being there at the inception, of having it how I want it, of it being unique. These are gifts difficult to value in pounds sterling. The moment this idea landed I pretty much stopped buying other pedals. The only exception is the Zoom MS-60B, of which I only need two more to complete my MS-60B FIVE board. A silly little project which is bringing me no end of pleasure. I estimate this one pedal will be the price of maybe 2 1/2 boutique pedals, 3 big name pedals, 4 'normal' pedals, and a furniture lorry full of tiny cheap pedals. Anyone who knows me and my long standing defence of budget brands knows I'm not a gear snob. This is a one off special treat for me and a chance to support a small UK company.

Charity shop. Suitcase.

Since I stepped back from the whole thing I've actually been much happier and way less curmudgeonly.

Glad I'm not the only one! Really cool pedal.

large, you can tell by the number of bars on the upper tier.

👆 I reckon 10 Boss pedals will fit with relative comfort and no funny angles. The biggest drawback I have found is the underground carpark is just mm too low for a Boss pedal. I use this space to park my always on pedals and power supply (and a spaghetti junction of power and patch cables).

I have often suspected that playing the same part incorrectly more than once is actually building unwanted muscle memory. Seems I'm right. If you see a tough bit coming up then slow down immediately, the first time you play it. click the link for the science! 🔗

We obviously have a lot in common.

I didn't need to change anything on mine it was great. I just needed to be able to play a fretless

Crazy talk

No one told me I had to have a point dammit. I want my money back

I love it! It isn't really all that expensive compared with boards that have zero flexibility. You can customise it to hell and back, comes with an excellent cable tidy system decent 3M rather than velcro and an allen key. I will measure up the boss pedal situation

Speak to Mark at Bad Penny. He's really approachable, loves what he does, really enjoys the challenge of a unique build too. Oh and I have one of his pedals , it sounds, and looks stunningly good.

Couldn't have put it better, he really answered your question better than I could.

I am working on chapter 2..

Didn't realise this was a thing. The moment I found out though the clock was ticking. UI was always going to fall for it. Here's my logic. My board is fukll, complete, cannot be improved upon I have everything I'll ever want. Yet still I keep buying pedals. I'm not very well off, all gig work has dried , however I do live an expense free life so pretty much anything I manage to earn I can spend. Within reason. Well, kind of. So how do I stop the haemorrhage of what money i do have on yet more effects? Commit to having one made for me, then I'll have no choice but to save every penny to pay for it. Neat right? Anyhoo, I've not sent a deposit yet but negotiations are underway with the good folk at Bad Penny FX to create a monster box of boosted, gatey fuzzy effects loopiness. This is the preliminary sketch I've asked for a send / return loop so I can add a parallel effect of my choosing and mix the two together but without the main effect affecting the other one. Or if not using a 2nd pedal then the circuit will just be a clean blend. As I say early days, the enclosure to be decided upon, but it will be British, hand made, and the only one out there. And all of this is just to save me money. genius I calls it.

They say you can judge a man by the company he keeps. If that's true then I must be amazing, because I have just received a pedal from Dave despite not having even paid for it yet. What a man! Trusting and therefore, in my book trustworthy. Thanks Dave, the cheque's in the post.

Ha ha! Excellent

Not entirely mate - one of my favourite DM songs.
