Rehousing a Danelectro pedal
Pedal time! After the Mystery guitar (still no better name - I like die Planck, a mock German name suggested by Guitarz co-poster David from Barcelona, but I'm not sure), let's go back to my DIY fuzzbox project - and while I'm at it, I plan to rehouse my Danelectro Rocky Road.
I like the sound of this cheap version of a Leslie - I bought it to check if that would be a sound I could include in my music, before getting a more serious one, but it's good enough - or at least it would be if it was not so unpractical! The foot switches are too low, too small and to close to each other - as are the pot knobs... So I tore it apart to look how it would be modifiable, and it's going to be difficult - it's super compact and everything that I should replace is connected directly on the PCBs - and here again I know so little!
But the only way to learn is to try, so I can only hope that I won't screw it all, and just go for it!

Pedalboard Project
A man my age should have a proper pedalboard, thought I last week, mostly because I'm fed up loosing 20 minutes unpacking, plugging, unplugging and repacking my pedals each time I go to the studio to rehearse. Because I never have...

Vintage Fender Fuzz/wah/volume Pedal In Tucson Area For $100
There is a whole cult of Fuzz pedal collectors out there (you know who you are) but I am not one of them. I have several Fuzz Pedals and they get a little use - but not that much unless I am recording overdubs. But that is just me. This is a true vintage...
