Spaceballs: The Filter (EHX Bassballs)

[Timko]

A friend and previous patron reached out to me with a request for a pedal build for his son.  The request was for a very simple to use pedal for bass that would give some cool filter effects.  He asked about the Bassballs in particular.  I had built a Fluff Girl years ago, so I began looking to source some sort of PCB for the build as Grind Customs isn't selling things online anymore.  I was fortunate to find a board from PedalPCB that offered much of the same topology.  I ended up altering that to re-create the original design with only the sensitivity and fuzz external controls.  There's 2 trimpots on the inside for treble/bass response control.  I forgot how loud the fuzz on this things is!!

Graphics are homage to the class Mel Brooks move.  I really liked the big red knob.

Nice, I love the theme.

I think someone needs to do a spaceballs pedal with controls labelled "Bleeps", "Sweeps" and "Creeps".

That's awesome! I love Spaceballs and it's one of those movies I still watch probably once a year.
Great looking pedal and as Lord Helmet would say; "Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb!"
