Tricked ya! Betcha yall thought I was showing you some new cool ped I got.
No but I'm looking for one. Is there a pedal that is just a tone knob? Like the tone knobs on ods and fuzzies. Just something to cut/boost highs to put in a delay's effects loop that doesn't have a tone knobby on it. Cause sometimes I want summa dat digital sounding shiz and sometimes I want it to be darker than shiz and let's be 4 reel.
So I guess I jsut need the top half of an eq pedal.
I'd prefer it to be tiny and cheep 2

If you just want to roll off the highs, a potentiometer and a capacitor in any housing with a footswitch would do it.

Is there someone that does that for people like lil ole me? lol
I know absolutely nothing about building pedals and things. I'd also like to be able to boost the highs too though so that might be a little harder idk

for boosting you would need to go active (power) while if you only wanted to cut frequencies you could easily make do with something passive. i'm sure any of the fine builders, DIYers or similar on this forum could make you something like that.

You could build a Big Muff style tone circuit into an enclosure.

You can build almost any "classic" tone stack into an enclosure.

I've got a THD Quintet pedal. It's like a fully passive Vari-tone in a pedal. At what they normally charge for them (I got a deal) DIY makes more sense. Fairly handy, especially for tone shaping on touchy fuzzes.

So? The question is... Who here wants to hook me up? or am I better off pm'ing someone?
