P450 mania!

29/1/2018

It's funny how a particular pedal can be suddenly really popular. A while ago I couldn't make Danger Birds fast enough. Now I have five confirmed orders, all for the P450 and P450+.

The P450 is a clone of the Prescription Electronics Experience pedal.
The Experience pedal comprises of the fuzz and octave fuzz parts of the Foxx Tone Machine, but with a few slight modifications - which make for a more pronounced octave-up effect. It also features an old swell circuit from the 60s, which works with the octave fuzz section.

There is a short demo of the original Experience pedal by Doyle Bramhall II at around 5 minutes into the video below.

The P450+ is the fuzz/octave fuzz section of the original Experience pedal, but with an independent swell circuit which is based on the now obsolete Boss SG1 Slow Gear.
This allows you to use the swell in fuzz, octave fuzz, on its own - or with other pedals. (On the P450 you can only use the Swell in octave fuzz mode.)

Another option is the Dust Bunny, which is the fuzz / octave fuzz sections only, without the swell.

Getting kicked when you're down

I have to say, I'm glad to see the back of 2017. It was not kind to me and the people I care about.
I lost my mum to cancer late in the year, which made me take a much needed break away from the business of pedal making to gather myself. It hit me hard. Harder than I could ever have predicted.

Then what should have been a very relaxing holiday over Christmas and New Year had me knocked sideways by flu. Not a cold, proper flu with a bonus dose of full-on labyrinthitis. I spent the entirety of the time in our expensive holiday let confined to bed trying to make the room stop spinning. I'm only just recovering from it now, with a really nasty cough that just won't give up and let me be.

So apologies if I've been a bit quiet recently. The universe was busy kicking me, then kicking me some more.
I've tried to stay as active as I can on the facebook page, as that seems to be where most people go. I regularly post photos and updates on things i'm working on there, so drop by and give us a 'like', if you'd like.

I'm taking tentative steps at getting back into things now, and have decided to start taking on limited orders. Feel free to contact me if there's something you're interested in. I can't promise I'll be able to make it for you quickly, but if you don't mind a bit of a wait then I'm sure we can arrange something.

    About me

    I'm Mark. I LOVE effect pedals. I started out making them for myself. I have 'quite a few'.  
    Then I made a few pedals for friends, then everyone.

    With some help from the missus we'll keep you updated on work in progress and any news.
