Anyone have these? They seem really awesome. Thinking about ordering his 78 ic muff and/or a germanium fuzz. Like to see some experience. He does the shortscalegear demos on youtube

I have had a saltstorm for awhile now... pretty sweet medium-gain overdrive, build is nice and has held up well considering how cheap it was (it is also freaking loud!!) Mike is definetely a cool dude too. My saltstorm is the exact one pictured on his website and below. :joy:

His Harmonic Percolator clone gets great reviews all over the place. He frequents SS.org, so you can check over there for sales and to get tons of info.

I've seen some of them where the wiring is pretty messy, but only older ones and I think he's improved on that. Plus he offers a full 2 year warranty, and he's a great guy so I doubt he'd charge you much to fix one after two years are up. I asked him about a custom job a while back and he was really helpful (never ended up happening because of lack of funds so I can't give first-hand testimonial to quality or anything).

EDIT: I found his blog, which has loads of gutshots. http://mikelivesley.wordpress.com/

The wiring isn't the neatest, but it's not like Schumann stuff or anything, and it all looks pretty well put together.

thanks, i only searched his blog...

i'm stupid, fuck...

wow, good prices AND he's from EU, that means no custom fees on those bastards! that's and awesome news, because our stupid government decided to lower requirements for paying 20% custom fees from outside of EU

i'm totally buying something from him one day...

I don't know what this pertains to, but I offer a full 2-year warranty on anything I build - I will fix all issues not caused by plugging in something evil like an AC supply for free (and if people do that by accident I still repair the pedals for parts cost only). I also pay shipping both ways and get it back to people as fast as humanly possible.

Like anyone I have been learning and honing my build process over the 3 years I've been making pedals, so some of the first stuff I made might not be D*A*M quality (well my stuff these days still isn't, but whose is? :-)) - but I like to thing the pedals I make these days are bulletproof and neatly wired.

Sometimes with the Dual Drives I make things get necessarily busy with wires, but that's what happens when you're cramming 6 pots and a bunch of switches into a case with two circuit boards.

I publish gutshots of all my builds on my site and blog so people can make their own mind up before buying.

Anyway, Hi all - thanks for the kind words - it's nice to know people out there like what I do.

Much love
M
