Ok, those of you who think Facebook is useless, check this out. (Some of you are probably reading this on Facebook, in which case you can ignore that.)
I found an old college buddy of mine on there one day, and it turns out he now builds guitar effects pedals. Which is a great coincidence, because I play guitar. And I'm a little short on effects.
(I know not all of my readers play guitar and some of you probably don't even know what an effects pedal is. Well, they're a big part of what makes any electric guitar sound the way it does.)
Anyway, so the other day I got this in the mail:
It's a Fender Blender fuzz pedal clone that he made. Wired to the same specs as the originals, same parts and whatnot (as far as I know). It kicks ass! It sounds totally badass. And it cost me nothing. Real original Fender Blenders go for hundreds of dollars... and they don't look this cool, and they're not one-of-a-kind items.
Much fun to be had with this, especially as I continue recording my magnum opus.
Anyway, just couldn't keep this to myself.
Hi
ReplyDeleteCan I ask for the contact of your friend? Or is he only building this on a one off basis?
TQ.

does your friend have a webpage? I'd be interested in maybe buying a clone off him as well.
