N(but not mine)PD! Warning ... NES Advantage content!

[ascender]

So I just finished up a refinish for a fellow SS.org'er, Derek (BangandBreach) ... you can check that out here. He got his guitar back yesterday!

http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/sevenstring-guitars/168356-new-faux-stige-day-warning-contains-mustache-content.html

But included with his guitar, I sent him a "Thanks for being such a rad dude" gift ... He's the first person I did a guitar for that I didn't know personally, and it made me feel awesome that a complete stranger trusted me with one of his kids.

Derek runs a vintage video game store, so I figured this would only be proper!

This pedal started as an MXR M-66 Classic OD

And ended up as ...

The joystick no longer "joysticks" ... it turns, functioning as a volume knob.
The B button is now your button for turning your OD on and off
The B turbo adjustment knob is now your tone knob
The A turbo adjustment is your gain
The player 1/2 switch is a high boost, player 2 being boosted. (note, that switch actually existed inside the pedal, not accessible unless you pulled the entire casing off. Now you have full access to it 100% of the time!)
9V plug right in the back, and also a battery inside, in case you don't wanna mess with 9V adaptors (only downside is you have to unscrew the whole thing to get down in there)
All other buttons are glued in place
And to top it all off ... the Turbo LEDs still activate when the pedal is turned on!!

Just figured I'd share, since I don't think Derek did

My one quetion is WHY?... Why are you not doing this as a business. It's aimed mainly at us guys old enough to know what a NES is but, hat's off mate! B E A utiful!!

Can do an Xbox 360 pedalboard next (for the young ones)!!

Can you make an axe fx fit in a C64 enclosure ?

 

[BigPhi84]

DUDE!!!! That's fucking AMAZING!!!!

 

[s_k_mullins]

Some of the coolest shit I've seen in a long time!

 

[SilenceIsACrime]

Easily the most imaginative pedal mod I have ever seen, bra-fucking-vo sir!!

 

[ascender]

Thanks dudes!

I'm trying to see if other related mods are doable, but with all the circuitry that goes inside, making room is the difficult part. I'll keep ya posted though!

I must concur with Keegan up above. Very imaginative. You should make a couple more and put them on the Bay just to see what happens.

Roger is seriously the coolest cat ever. This was such a thoughtful gift. I LOVE it.

BE JEALOUS.

That is cool

 

[AK DRAGON]

does it require the up up down down left left right right B A Start to turn on?

In any case nice work

 

[ratm2020]

Man, That is beyond awesome, how long did it take to make that up?

 

[Big Rich]
