  • They don't interest me so much - they'll get stamped on just the same :) partly why I love boss pedals - pure functionality, and they relic better than custom finishes!

    However, I do have a couple of pedals that are, as far as I know, complete (or near enough) one offs. Neither were made for me though - one is a prototype that never went production and the other is a custom @juansolo delay (that is utterly brilliant). Both I came across by chance, and will never let either go because they're both a fundamental part of my sound. I'd be sad if either broke as they'd be no replacement...

    I'm planning on getting a couple more custom pedals from @juansolo. I want one of his muffs with a custom finish (he's quite the muff fanatic (lol) and has some of his own tweaks).

    My moby dick that is on the way is custom so it would be unique. 

    I also have another custom order and that is the only pedal of its kind in existence (pics when I get it)
     
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Is it wrong that I get excited whenever you or @gavhaus have a new pedal incoming?

    nahhh

    I do too :-)

    but to be fair I rarely make npd posts. I should do some sound clips though and share some of the lunacy

    Funnily enough I was going to get both of those OP, but could not track down that red one and didn't want to pay £50 more for a paint job for the Dispatch Master.

    The red Jap Belle Epoch is exclusive I think to PGS, and I've just had the last one !

    Likewise, the EQD DM was from Chicago Music Exchange - exclusive to them I believe.

    I do like me a nice big hairy muff ;)

    As for one offs, most of these are one or two offs ;)

    Yup! Same places where I was going to order them from, the BP was out of stock last I looked a month ago...as for the Dispatch Master, the last pedal I got from CME is the limited EQD Cloven Hoof, took a month to get here. I try to avoid CME if I could unless it is an exclusive I really want. Their shipping is more than most other US stores, takes 4 times as long. They do have lots of unique exclusives though, like the new JHS Unicorn.

    My Bearfoot Honey Beeatch is #1 of 10 that Donner built to celebrate his 1st anniversary in business. Essentially a special edition of the Honeybee with a presence/treble knob and Myrold artwork.

    @Majorscale - a lovely pedal ! I had one of these too, no.7 i recall but madly stupidly sold it...

    I think that they were part of the 22/2 release IIRC ?
