My jealousy is boundless.

Where do you even tap that?

Hmmm, it seems as though he may have perfected Hammer Space technology.

Yeah, that's pretty cool

It's awesome...I think. There's no explanation of what the switches do or how the tapping happens. So maybe it's amazing.  ;D

One of the other guitar players in the band has a bunch of Cusack stuff and just loves it.  That's just crazy.

Slow clap of approval. Well done Cusack, well done.

Of course, it's so niche it's crazy, but still.

My guess is that you kick it in the side for tap? The silver button sticking out the bottom side?

I can only imagine that the guts of that thing would make all of us weep. Super impressive.

Impressive stuff (as Cusack usually is).

The Joker would dig that colour scheme too  ;)

So its a kick-tempo instead of a tap-tempo?  That seems cooler...

Actually tried one of these at the Amp Expo a year or two ago, IIRC. The little silver nub in the picture is an RCA jack. The pedal is meant to be used with one of his Pedalboard Tamers (bypass looper), which is used for pedal bypass and has the tap switch built in.

I found myself just as impressed with the fact that he fit 5 chicken head knobs on the thing. I can barely fit 2 or 3 on my builds without them knocking into each other...

Ah, so it's not a standalone pedal. That makes sense. And that's not meant to take away from the awesomeness of the concept and execution.

Funny, this is what most impressed me as well.  ;D

I don't want to take away any awesomeness from this (because it is freakin' awesome!!!), but the chickenhead knobs do stick their heads out over the edge of the enclosure. Might have used a slightly bigger one with the same footprint. And yes, gutshots would put us all to shame........ Cool stuff!

This for me, too.  I love everything about it except the chickenheads.  Fitting them on is impressive, but I think it would've looked better and been more functional with different knobs.

The SMT version of the chip is the PT2399S.  I've used it on a couple of layouts without issue.

I was actually going to guess that the Cusack used a DSP chip, but I have no idea, really.

Nah, it's only 750mS and they say it's really noisy and dirty. Sure sounds like a PT2399 to me.

Yeah, I didn't read that part.  I'm sure you're right.
