Work on the batch of limited edition MSR013 reverb pedals is coming along nicely.
Footswitches, jack sockets and pots have all been fitted. Wiring it all in and final assembly comes next. Then lots of testing.

LOTS going on at the moment. I'm really busy - and I'm not complaining.

I've been making the boards for a Fluidic Space Analogue Chorus, a Vox Repeat Percussion Clone and a Blues Blaster, which is a clone of a Marshall Bluesbreaker MkI.
A lovely dark red sparkle finish Bad MFKR is coming together nicely.
And a couple more nice pics of the A/B box before it goes to its new home - just because.

Waiting for the postie

So, while I'm waiting for the bloody postman to turn up (*if* he turns up, that is!), I'm thinking about the Orange and Matamp amp-in-a-box pedals.
Although not finished, I was playing around with both last night and was surprised by how different they sounded.
The two circuits are very similar, although the Matamp one has the drive pre-eq and the Orange has its drive post-eq. That may well explain the tighter bottom end on the Orange.

Anyway, I'm thinking that I may have to do two versions of each: a smaller, 125B enclosure with five knobs (treble, bass, gain, boost and master volume) and a larger (1590BB) enclosure with the FAC switch.

The FAC is a six position switch which changes the input capacitance (and therefore tone) to one of the gain stages. Again, the position of the FAC is different on the Orange and Matamp models. The Orange has the FAC situated after both the eq and drive sections, whereas the Matamp FAC is situated before the drive and eq sections.

Aaanyhooo. Once they are done, I shall recommence work on the Sabbath tone pedal, which is a modified Rangemaster treble booster into a Laney Supergroup-in-a-box.
Unlike Catalinbread's Sabbra Cadabra (which sounds awesome, BTW), mine will have independently switchable treble boost and distortion and more knobs (two on the TB, six on the distortion side) as I want it to be as flexible as possible.

A/B box with switchable input impedance

A custom A/B box built for a bass player who uses both a bass guitar and upright bass. 

There is a passive volume control for each channel and channel 2 has a switchable input impedance (1Mohm/10Mohm).

This wee beauty was completed today. I think you'll agree that it's looking lovely with its matt white finish and matching white knobs.

It is ON! The limited edition version of the Moon Sounds Reverb, with silver sparkle finish and script graphics is available for pre-order now. There are only 5 available, and 3 are already spoken for!

Work is progressing well. The silver sparkle boxes are looking gorgeous and the decals are all printed and ready to go on. All the circuit boards are built so assembly (and lots and lots of layers of lacquer) come next.

There will be another chance to get your hands on one of these awesome reverbs if you miss the limited edition one. We'll be posting information on this soon.

Please check the Moon Sounds page for more details.

    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.
