    Hey Tim - I jammed out a CMT pickups demo with a couple of friends last week and was lucky enough to have one of your Percolators at hand. I think you'll agree it sounds pretty great!

    Yep that sounds great! Good to see you can get some classic rock sounds from the HP too. 

    I'll have to share this on the FB group sometime this week.

    Yeah that'd be awesome. Thanks Tim! Myself and my two pals have more of a hardcore punk leaning, and the HP gave a bit more raggedness. Just the ticket.

    Last three white Demon Fuzzes ever! Special offer on these guys - £60 each plus p&p. Remember they feature the incredibly useful buffer from the Klon Centaur, which is always on, in addition to a lovely mid-gain crunchy fuzz. 
    Once these are gone, they're gone!

    Testing today's pedals. Every FE pedal gets tested twice - once at the office/workshop, then again at home. Keeping it twangy today with a 90s Danelectro DC-3.

    Another Dresden Synth Fuzz...

    But what's this? Hello little guyz!

    image

    As a proof of concept I replaced all the passive components in the Dresden Synth Fuzz with surface mount equivalents. I'll hang onto this pedal for a while to check reliability. However, I can confirm it sounds exactly the same as the through-hole version (as it should).

    Won't that make your logo somewhat ironic? ;)

    Good call. I'm gonna have to put one through-hole resistor in each pedal. For some obscure value that's impossible to get as a surface mount device.

    New today, here's a nice demo for the Zombie Klone. Old shape, but same sound!

    That'd work. To be fair, you sold out and stopped putting wolves inside the pedals pretty early on, so I don't think people will mind.

    The new version of the Demon Fuzz is here. This is a great sounding mid-gain fuzz based on the EH IC Muff Fuzz (only with more gain). You can now choose between buffered or non-buffered variants.

    I've added new shots of the Green Russian to the website, complete with innards.

    Some new enclosures in today. This is a new design to allow for the use of a 4PDT slider switch right in the middle. These will be the new versions of the Foxrite and Pocket Weasel.

    Thanks! I wish more retailers would take snaps of their displays, because I always share these things on Facebook and Twitter.

    Some lovely psychtones in this new Unpleasant Companion demo. Thanks to DrBurns73!

    Supposed to be working on bank holiday Monday as we've just received a few big orders. Thought I'd take a few snaps of the organised chaos that is the Fredric Effects office instead...
