No, no coating on the brass.

How do you like the sound of the easy vibe? i love vibrato pedals, they're probably my favorite modulation effect.

I like the sound of the Easy Vibe! I prefer it over the Trivibe.

these are brass sheets with 1mm thickness. I use the drill bits for the holes and the punch letters.

where can we get those ?

[Highway31]

Ang3lus, you can order these tools via internet! No problem at all!

You can get punches and the drill bits pretty cheap at Harbor Freight if you are in the US.

My question is where do you get the brass (or copper)?

I can't find small bits of sheet metals anywhere locally so far.

I got the sheets from a plumber/sheet metal worker an some are from my dad.

really eh? i built the trivibe and i found it had some unusable/too subtle sounds, but i'm happy with the sound when the knobs are set correctly.

maybe i'll try building it one of these days...
