Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Man, I dreamed about building a pedal with a Frankenstein knife switch like that...but I never thought someone would actually do it.

I actually looked at knife switches about a month ago.  Too slow on the draw.

Rainger does make some pretty cool effects though. They have one that has a mic that you put in the drummer's bass drum and it chops your signal with the beat. It sounds pretty rad.
I'm sorry sir, we only have the regular ohms

That is super cool! What is the 'Igor' control, I wonder? A resistance contact pad?

sounds like a pile of butt but I love the electrocution-style throw switch  ;D

Gotta admit that one made me laugh.

I think if any of us built this pedal we'd spend hours trying to trouble shoot that obnoxious oscillating, whining noise out of it.
The big switch is is nice but it seems the only thing it does is make that annoying noise a bit higher. The meter is also kind of cool.

I built a fuzz factory for my guitar player, and when it it started oscillating, i went to youtube, yep, sounds about right. Don't know
A) why the hell anybody would want that and
B) Why the hell I bought a board to build one for myself.
