Could you do a bass demo of this? I play bass a lot and I'm kinda on a never ending quest for the perfect bass fuzz.

Also I have to say, the drilling of your boxes always really impresses me. Nothing is ever crooked or messed up looking.. What are you using to drill your boxes?

Oh yeah and where the fuck did you get that battery clip I need those


I'll be going home in about a week and a half, I'll bring it along with me and test it out on bass for ya. I haven't given it a shot myself, although it seems promising.

I use a drill and metal-drilling bits. I just sharpie out the layout and hope that nothing jumps while I drill the pilot holes. I don't have money for a press and that's way too serious for me!

And I got the battery clip from a dude who owed me some pedal connectors. He sent me a shit ton of extra stuff cause he sent the package 4 months late... I'm not sure where you could find them regularly :(

Thanks for the kind words though man!

So wired my Pigeon FX Superfuzz last night. Ran a multimeter and get a good connection on everything but the mother fucker didn't work! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I think I reversed a wire or something, cause I don't even get a bypassed tone. I'm going to double check my jacks. The damn wiring diagram isn't very good for this one. What's funny is a added a dedicated 9v to it and a battery clip, the battery clip powers the LED just fine, but the 9v adapter doesn't. Which indicates I have the adapter wired wrong as well. I'll figure it out, it's just annoying.
