Yeah yeah I know you are skint but when you do get a few pesos together, or anyone else interest in guitar effects pedals, you need to check out this guy.

He's in Tasmania and he's hand making guitar pedals using schematics of old, hard to get pedals.

$80 'stralian, that's about 35 quid in real money for his big fluff pedal, which is awesome and for that money a bargain.

That looks class like,

 

how much would it be to import one?

Fuck all. Postage would only be $20 aust and I don't think Paul, the tech making them, would have a problem listing it as a gift for customs purposes (but you better confirm that with him.)

 

I was having a chat with him today and if I can get the wiring schematics/diagrams of some old pedals I want, he said he'd be happy to custom make them!

These guys could be an awesome find.

I just bought a Metal Muff and a Big Muff the other week,

 

What do you reckon the difference would be between this guys and the one i bought?

Tom, how long is a piece of string?

 

I take it the Big Muff is an electrox-harmonics?

Is it an original or one of the russian remakes on the market?

I know that everyone claims the russian ones are average in build and thin in tone but seriously if you like what you're getting out of them tonewise then who cares what the difference is.

 

The thing I like about Paul's pedals is he makes them by hand, he makes sure the parts used are exactly what he wants, so a 1 ohm diode is exactly 1 ohm not 1.2. Plus he does it because he likes to make them.

I wanted to order something from him and offered to pay for it now but he wouldn't take payment until after he'd finished building it, just incase it took longer than expected.

Tom you also have to realise Tasmania is like the Australian equivilant of the Isle of Man.

There is fuck all there but it's a great place to race around.

For that price il deffo get one when i get a new job,

 

I might try and add a personal touch to it if he can do that,

 

Mine was made in New York and its pretty good but if i can get a custom/handbuilt made in Tasmania for less than £70 then its worth it i reckon,

big muff is a good pedal for colouring your sound. the ones from usa are called big muff pi, i've got one and when you wind it up its proper nasty....

 

apparently its not a patch on the original big muff made in the 70's however.

canofbeans, see that's the thing about these morrison pedals, he's making them by hand, ensuring all the parts are exactly what they are meant to be using the original big muff schematics so they are as good as the originals.
