    I think, think, we have one of those. No idea how to fix a pedal with one though
  2. Edited to say stompboxes, as opposed to all pedals.

    This is basically what's inside a stompbox, in case you didn't know before:



    Obviously a snipped wire would be a problem, but cased inside metal like that, that's almost never a problem. Problems with SB's lit in the connections and small parts soldered into the boards. Both of which can be fixed with a short trip to a small electronics store that carries said small parts and a soldering iron. Long as you know what you're doing.

    Plenty of people actually make their own stompboxes or mod current ones to better suit themselves, because if you understand the physics/technology, it's not that hard to do.
  3. Sounds totally like something for a science guy like me.
  4. You should give it a try sometime if you've got something to house the pedal in and you're down for a big project. I'd imagine the first one would be pretty tricky to build because you wouldn't have the hang of it....but something simple with one knob would probably be your best bet. A boost pedal, perhaps, for that extra jump in volume at a moment's notice.

    There are schematics on many websites that you can download.
  5. Let's hope I don't kill myself.
  6. I actually need a good boost pedal, so if you get the first Olof-ator Boost series done, can you mail me one for free since we're friends?

    Sure, if you die though, it's you fault since it was your idea.
  8. I demand all of my products be tested first. I'm a professional amateur.
  9. Sure, you can test them first.
  10. Alrighty. I'll take it.
