NPD-Modded BYOC Lazy Sprocket

[mapka]

As some know here I have taken over production of Duh Voodoo Man's pedals. Got a request to build one of BYOC's "Lazy Sprocket" pedals. This is a clone of the Boss SG-1 Slow Gear. I figured if I was building one for him, why not for myself. The ones I built were modified to give a longer swell time. The effect is very interesting and I am still getting use to how to optimize it.

That is such a cool color, Mark. Do you find that you use it much?

I will try and post something soon. Like I said I am still trying to figure the effect out and how to use it best.


Nice decal! ;)


I agree! My decal supplier is an awesome man!

Haven't used it much like I said above I am still trying to figure it out. I have figured out that it works best if you strike a note or chord and let it ring and die out before you strike the next one. Kind of a spacey sound.

Took a little longer then expected but here is a sound bite of the Swell pedal.

That swell sound reminds me a lot of Roy Buchanon on Down by The River...
