Oh I missed it. Tim, tell me in a PM!

Essentially, no one gets a free pedal. Bands with class don't even ask for free pedals.

Cheers dude. I'm hoping to get hold of the rest of the photos taken that day. There were some nice ones of me and Stacey :)

Here's more on the Weasel Stomp MkII taking shape. I drew the enclosure in Draftsight this time:

Here's the prototype enclosure from the metal work shop. They've welded the edges and smoothed them off. Once powdercoated these edges will look great. I'll assemble this tonight with the circuit boards above to make sure everything fits.

Looking good Tim.

When do you think they'll be available?

Probably about a month off. The workshop made one small mistake on this prototype, and I made a couple of unforced errors (oops!) so there'll be another test box before I get a ton made.

Zesty Comp! It's a great sounding JFET compressor with extra squishiness so you really know when it's on.

I've just built this guy, but I'll demo it asap. Tricky demoing a compressor, but I think the effect is pronounced enough to come through even on youtube.

Demo of the Zesty Comp is on the way. May be a week or two as Christian off of Magnetic Effects is doing it and he has a busy schedule.

I've reworked our Zombie Klone for the new CNC machined enclosures and dual PCBs. They look like this now:

Curious what Fredric Effects pedals sound like? Get down to Regent Sounds and try some.

New Do The Weasel Stomp! pedals are here. This is the Systech Harmonic Energizer derived pedal, with a few extra controls and some fuzz.

Q: can you fit the zombie klone in a 1590a sized case?

No, because the circuit boards are designed to work with the custom enclosures I've designed. They're MXR-sized, uh about 110 x 60 x 30mm.

Thanks Tim! They're legit phenolic knobs rather than clones = feel pretty nice.

Here are some more... Regent Sounds restock! Coming to a store (Regent Sounds) near you (if you live in London) tomorrow!

Hey Tim, I walked past Vintage and Rare this weekend, they have a lovely assortment of your pedals in their window display.
