Hey guys,

I know I haven't posted here in about a year (due to work commitments).

If I have any cred left, please can I ask for help in how to deal with getting ripped off by Mark Shaner.

Essentially, this time last year I paid $400 for a Pulsemonger MkII because I had my first job after varsity and I really wanted to give back to boutique builders.
However, after paying the money all I received was excuse after excuse and I am still without a pedal and a seriously bad taste in my mouth.

All I want to do is bad mouth him on every online forum I can - but that's not right.  2 wrongs don't make a right.

How do I come right from this?  How do I get a pedal or my money back? 
I'm struggling for money currently and can't afford to flush $400 down the toilet.

In my 4 years in the pedal building community I've only had positive experiences with genuine people -
but this is just not right and I have no idea what to do.

For those who are interested, here is the email correspondance copied and pasted from my gmail:

Fantastic stuff!

Very very cool

You gotta keep on keepin on

Awesome stuff!

Rej,

I really dig your work with the dremel!
Natural metal textures are where your skills really shine!

Have you considered some way to label the knobs?

Matt.

Seriously awesome man!

Any reason for the 1590DD?
Or just because?

Noooooh stop.
Too cool 

Great etch man!
Totally dig it!

Mr Pickdropper,

If I build a 1590a or get something laser etched,
It will be YOU to thank 

Haha yes "Sonic Titan" is the name I put on all my pedals.
Figured I might as well have a brand name - even though I haven't sold any pedals other than a couple to friends.

What up guys,

Here's another one that's been a couple of months in the making.
Worked first time! 

Nothing too unique about this tremolo except 1. Tap tempo 2. Gain control when engaged 3. Blend control for clean and trem signal.
To be honest, the blend control isn't as useful as I'd hoped - so will leave it out of subsequent revisions.

On the production side, put quite a lot of work into the PCB design to ensure 1. Everything is board mounted (no wiring) 2. Physical isolation between the micro chip and the audio path (no ticking).   













Matt.

Cant wait to build mine!

Awesome effect!

Awesome stuff!
