what do you think master Aen?

oh, and i don't mind if you do the same for the Starve knob too...



The ECT's starve pot is 20x higher value than a moog exp pedal, and the expression pedal is 25x higher value than a starve pot in a dwarfcraft device. so what I'm saying is, they don't match up, unfortunately.

Well this is all even more speculative than it was at first, our "source" in chicago turned out to be a huge pile of shit, so we're back at the beginning.


w'bout Dwarfcraft's very own expression pedals?

Damn, I really hope You'll find a trustworthy partner from somewhere else to take the idea further and see how it flies. :thumb:

And the pot value differences, well :idk: :) I was suspecting something like this might come up. Can't help it then, it's flip switches in that case and Bob's Your uncle. Unless of course You try out following the lead of Fuzzhugger Custom XS versions of AB-Synth and Algal Bloom cram the enclosures so full of components and wires nobody DARES to open one after seeing a gut shot. :lol:

The Baby Thundaa is no.1 on my fuzz want list, so I'm not sure about the rest. I want RD and Hax, and I don't think that smaller versions would really make them more appealing. There not huge to begin with. It made sense for the ECT. Maybe the Shiva. I don't know about the rest. I'd rather see DC do new shit that mod their old shit. Maybe a 2-knob / 1 switch overdrive? Mor importantly....

WHERE'S THAT DELAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!

The fuzz makes sense but the modulation pedals i think should keep the switch...but that's probably really hard to wire. I was impressed by those mini Absynths Tom made. The only reason why I think it should stay is some may use the switching as an effect.

I am for the small enclosures for the TGD and HAX. I think they are the right pedal for a small foot print.

The shiva I am on the fence about, I liked that pedal a lot when I had it and thought it was prefect.

I'd maybe just make a tiny version of Shiva and sometimes to the normal version. Most people would want the smaller one, I'm not one. I totally wish my TGD was smaller but it does look motherfucking cool the current size so...

Fuzzhugger fx USED to sell the TIny Destroyer, did You miss that? It was regular TGD, built in a small enclosure and pots in the side. :poke:

I'm all for smaller enclosures, if it can be done in a way that doesn't affect the character of the pedals as they are now. If some of the shrinking changes the pedal's character, I'd keep the big box version (and maybe still do that, as a custom shop thing?).

The only idea I don't like the shiva losing its starve switch, i's an awesome 2 switch pedal. With my experience with the RD, it wouldn't be a big issue to have the second switch changed to a toggle.

If Dwarfcraft did make expression pedals with Aen's face on it, it would need to be one of those pics that changes with the angle, and as you swing it up and done Aen's expression change.

I think the Hax should have two footswitches. High/low switch and expression pedal make it seem way more flexible and fun to me, though I've had no first hand experience.
