Rare, Unusual Custom Versions Of Pedals ??? What Are Yours ?

Majorscale

@Wazmeister, too funny... I couldnt be bothered to take a photo of my pedal so I googled this picture instead and it happens to be your old one #7! (http://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/forum/guitar/acapella-29/1686421-/page2)

Anyway, yes the Honeybeeatch as its affectionately nicknamed was from Bearfoot's February 2012 1st Anniversary limited release. I owned a regular bearfoot honeybee before it and loved it, but always felt it needed some extra treble toneshaping so when this version appeared it fitted the bill perfectly - as well as being very pretty!

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).





I do like me a nice big hairy muff

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

Good god, it's practically pornography.

I need a muff in my life. I've decided I'd take something you've come up with yourself, I'm convinced I'll like it (I like pretty much every muff derivative I've tried! And they vary a lot...). So long as it stacks into an overdrive or distortion, I'm happy.

This is not a thread I can contribute to. Unless you like grey.

Although my Cornish P1 is one of the first run ones- number 35. I know DG has number 1.

@Majorscale - as you know Im a huge Bearfoot fan, and ill be emailing Don tomorrow to commence our own Tourbox...

Anyway, dibs on that pedal if you decide to sell. Id pay strong money and would love to own it again !

I don't really do custom pedal or amp finishes, it's the insides that matter.. On the other hand I'm a sucker for custom finish guitars.

Fazer

these come in lots of designs, this one is limited to 2 i believe

I've probably got quite a few that would fit in to this group but there are just so many builders doing "limited run" colour schemes that most pedals they produce are simply split in to small batches and sold as exclusive editions for specific stores.

To get in the spirit of it though I thought I'd stick the following pics in anyway of some of mine that are either ones offs or simply just not available anymore!  Aaron at Arc Effects even makes it obvious you have a Custom pedal!!!

Got 3 of our own muffs. Ultrastoner Mk2 (big thick thunderous thing), TSM680 Mk2 (almost an anti-muff, lots of mids available, very aggressive) and the DGM3 (more for the soloage). The JTB is 3/4 of a muff and doesn't sound like one, but is very much epic.

All good stuff

Nick, tell us about those two on the right of your pics, especially the wooden looking one...

Here's another couple I had and sold... Familiar tale emrging here. The ML Jr was very special to me, as at the time it was one of only two, and Aimish (MD at Diamond) commissioned it;

The Arc Effects custom on the right is based on the Octavia but Aaron has made the octave switchable and can be used independent of the fuzz. Below that in the wooden box is a Retro Mechanical Labs Retro Clean OverdrivR. It's a 2 channel clean boost with switchable distortion. The other toggle is for an added diode clipping which came about when I asked the builder to try experimenting with some options and see what he liked best. The vintage meter responds to the guitar so the needle moves in time and intensity depending on the signal running through it.

While I'm at it the wave cannon was a custom modification that was done on the last 2 mk1 versions that were built. These were originally for Emerson Customs display board at NAMM last year. It's got a few tweaks with a voltage SAG control and the havoc on a pot rather than toggle switch. The pedal below that is a Resonant Electronics Small Hadron Collidor. It's a great dirtyish boost and really goes well with a valve amp on edge of break up.

The two in the bottom picture are made by Terry from Push and Pull Pedals. The left is good Triton Sputnik Fuzz and the right is the San B Overdrive. The San B has a really nice touch with a buffer in the circuit which is switchable. They're both hand made point to point construction. These are out of production now mainly as the enclosures are no longer made, but some new versions are on the way at some point this year.
