Title: mplx-jr. NOW WITH DEMO!
Post by: Vanderfuzz on July 02, 2013, 03:27:16 PM
Greetings all!

This is my first posting on the forum, though I visit the site daily.  I posted 5 or 6 builds on a different forum over a year ago, but stopped sharing my creations, due to feeling not too confident in the quality.  Well, today marks a return.  I feel really good about this fella.

A new discovery of late has reignited the passion - Alcohol inks.  The inks are a blast to use.  For a moment, the green took on a "Billion Dollar Babies" appearance, but some mixer smoothed that out.

This is a 1776 Multiplex Jr. housed in a tall enclosure.  The artwork is alcohol inks and hard coat mod podge, with Staz-On ink stamps.

Here's a taste of some of the options the pedal can give.

Thanks.  I got the knobs at Small Bear.  Yes, they are a bit spendy for knobs, but I wanted something shiny with a small form factor.  Those knobs Pickdropper always uses would have been nice, too.

Indeed.  I believe I will post a demo soon.  It sounds pretty tasty with some reverb and the Harbinger One.

And now I have posted demo on the original first post.  Excuse the weirdness at the end, but I couldn't help myself.

Hey fantastic demo there. I like the filtering of the MPJ for sure. Got to build one up. Thanks for providing the nice sounds  :)

There is no way my build would ever sound like this if I built one except for the bits at the end. Nicely done.

Thanks.  It's really a fantastic sounding pedal.  Now that I got a Step Bit, I think I'll give the Multiplex (Sr.) a go.

Nice build. Loved the demo, very creative.

Man, I've really got to learn how to use my delay pedal and my ebow and then learn how to play my guitar and....... :(

Nothing to be ashamed about in this build for sure! That looks great. Does the hard coat leave a matte finish? Looks like it does.

Yes, the hard coat leaves a satin, matte finish. I tried the gloss variety on a guinea pig enclosure, and it not only dulled the colors, but felt tacky and did not adhere as well.

Damn nice demo.  I like the ambient/science fiction sounds.
