I love the Bunny boxes. Are those random old tins you are using?

They look like they would be cookie tins from an Easter years ago.

I think that is pretty much what they are. My mom is a notorious collector/hoarder. I keep finding stashes of stuff like this. Clearly she got these tins for some aspect of an Easter celebration, but it was equally clear when i found them, that she never used them for anything, and that she probably didn't even remember that she had bought them.

I like them for pedals because they are really close to that Hammond 1590BB size. I only wish that the tin was thicker on the lids. For them to be gig friendly, i would probably have to reinforce the boxes with moar substantial metal bits. But for protoyping or basement-use boxing, they are swell. I wish i had more of them actually.

I love the cutesy bunny wabbit theme though. It just seems so "Watership Down" to me. :lol:

My grandmother is also a notorious hoarder, and a big crafts lady. That is most likely why I picked them out, I see the same things laying around her house come every holiday. She is big into recycling crafts for use in holiday decor.


You should start a line of Brian Jacques pedals.

Hmm that is a tough call ...

Is is plastic or metal?

I am silently praying to the great BELT that it is a Betamax tape. I have no logical reason to think it is a Betamax tape, but since when has logic ever stopped me?

Heehee. :lol:

Another hint. The back is just a bit of ghetto sheetmetal thing (actually cut out of the top of an old VCR with tinsnips for the purpose :red: ) to replace the old back, which didn't work quite right for using it as a pedal.

The screws, and their locations, are original though.

:idea:

INDEED. :dance:

IIRC, it was an old Maxtor that shat out on me years ago. Most HDDs have really fucked up shapes inside, but this particular one is almost exactly like a normal Hammond pedal enclosure.

I always liked the subtle "fucked up teddy bear face" look this pedal had with this knob selection:
