So cool man, all your instruments look great!

This is looking really quite amazing now.
Awesome feature set with fun ,unlockable combos.
Liking this.

thanks g’s!!! much appreciated. have been having a lot of fun. not usually one to puff my own chest but i am particularly proud of this one.

never thought in a million years i’d be building my own stuff, let alone something like this.

the stuff you’re making is so fantastic! awesome work - really living the dream there bro.



Cool little sampler and fx box.
Wish I had the know-how to make stuff like this.

thanks dudes!!


@spacetravelmadeeasy dude i didn’t. and if i can learn, anyone can. just gotta start somewhere and inch your way up. everything is on the internet

These are fantastic. If I hadn’t just bought a vitamix blender I’d have bought one before making this post

thanks @krism !! haha u mean like an actual blender for making smoothies and stuff?

gotta stay healthy!

that dino box is high on my GAS list now. thanks :-p haha

@docshermsticks Will you accept backorders if I’ll have the $$$ for this amazing box at some point in the hopefully not so distant future? Right now I have other projects in the making, but this pedal is certainly something I may want to grab when I’ll have fresh capital to invest in crazy cool gear. :slight_smile:

@jooga1972 hit me up when ur good to go! i’ll do my best, but i can’t make any iron clad promises.

yeah, these are awesome!


great job :slight_smile:

@aswellfallintostatic thanks mang!!

@docshermsticks I’m a subscriber to Knobs Youtube channel. Just on my lunch break and hit play on a new video and low and behold there you are! You make great things, really cool to see them interacting together.


For anyone who is not familiar, I recommend that you become so (or more so) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARX1QYvBD-A

^ so good!

lol y’all heard about it before i did! thanks so much dudes @wolflegjon @zzzach appreciate it.


huge ups to the homie knobs. he makes the best demos on the world wide web IMO! and i personally don’t even like watching demos at all.

Knobs demos definitely ruin other demos for me. I get bummed if there’s a pedal I’m interested in and Knobs hasn’t made a video for it. #spoiled

I stumbled across that channel ages ago trying to find a demo of the Death by Audio Reverb. Its the only demo channels I can happily watch, it has so more personality by not using talking personalities.


I think its great, you will need to be ordering some more solder after that video!


one of my goto channels is that knobs!
