lol I actually have two arms that was just a joke from a picture of myself I posted in the let's see you thread. Someone said it looked like one of my arms was photoshopped in.

Btw props for recording that first demo on your iPhone. My iPhone is the only thing I have for recording and it's pretty tricky to get it to sound good like that. I think you should put that same riff and combo of effects in the final demo. That sounded awesome!

Holy wow that is a cool sounding pedal. As others have asked, are there any other controls/knobs aside from the footsweep, and will the pedal stay in place mid sweep if you take your foot off?

Thanks Officer! Will do!

and KB: There is an Intensity Knob, AND there is a directional switch! so heel to toe can either open OR close.

and to KB and Shutin : The prototype in the video did not have the the pedal stay in place, let me go in on monday and make sure we can make that happen! :)

also to Shutin : The main concept behind the sweeper was to make the phase manual, I can't think of a way to make the phase manual without an expression pedal enclosure.
If you just really like our phaser circuit :) I'm sure I could make a standard phaser for you.

And GoZu~ The Casing aesthetics is mainly what we're sorting out,
We sort of were thinking about swirl painting them, using die-cut grip tape for the foot surface, and nameplates in the front, but in the name of consistancy, we may just be buffing them.
We actually have a really cool artist on deck for some hand painting when we are doing stompboxes, but that'll be a bit later :thumb:

Just to throw in another opinion: I've yet to see a good looking swirl paint. MojoVibe or Boiling Point all that looks pretty bad to me. It's suited for some kind of 70's vibe but at the same time represents everything loathable about the 70's. I would prefer any solid color or maybe a nice pattern. How about red & white stripes? Also it would probably be a good idea for the sake of recognisability to cut your logo out of the grip tape like Vox or Custom Audio Electronics do.

Maybe dark green with sparkles with your logo (in orange) in front?
That's just an idea like that.
Keep it simple... not too flashy.

i've seen sparkly on a wah/expression, and it don't look perdy.

i say go with a nice clean white base with a simple pastel design for each pedal. orange, salmon, sky blue, and seafoam for color accent options.

keeps it simple, light, works with your website design (so far), and shoult be easy to do while still looking sharp

so far the buffed "chrome" looks the nicest/ is the cheapest/easiest/most consistent option, so I think that's where we're leanin' at the moment.

currently contacting a bunch of skateboard grip tape companies to try and get our logo die cut into it which I think will rock!
