Title: Slut Machine
Post by: juansolo on January 31, 2013, 09:13:13 PM
Slut Machine

The second half of my BYOF pedal rehouse. This time I've rebuilt the Screwdriver on a Madbean Cosmopolitan board etched by Haberdasher.

I suppose I should go into the name. One of my favourite bands is Monster Magnet, so you'll find a lot of their promo art ends up on my pedals. This is another Malleus one from the last tour. Slut Machine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekdbw4OlJNg) is one of their tracks. I don't know why, but it just seemed to fit.

It is indeed a Russian trannie :)

We had a stash of them ages ago. Made nice fuzz faces.

Not only do I love the Cosmo--and your work in general--but anything with a Monster Magnet reference is always already alright with me. Saw them in '95 at Irving Plaza in NYC, and was on the guest list, no less! Long story.

I did a double-take when I saw the arrangement of the pots. I'm guessing you wired them in to be able to orient them that way. For just a split second, I was like, "oh god, the pots are backwards in my Cosmo!" Even though I already know they're not, you understand. I'm just that bright.  ;)

It fitted better with the decal this way. However had I realised what a PITA reversing all the wiring underneath was going to be, I'd have probably done them lower so I could rotate them.

Love those knobs ...
Another great job.

I've always loved the 'Stoner Rock' and a cartoon crush on Fannie Jo Stingray. Here's some Atomic Bitchwax. I've always meant to put something inspired by their art on a pedal; just haven't gotten around to it.
