Birth of a Guitar Pedal

I just made a pedal over the last day or two..and here it is....

My new homemade pedal - "The Spitfire Returns"

Some of the wire used was taken from a 1940's GPO telephone switchboard, solid good copper conductor , in a waxy cloth insulation...compared to modern plastic cable it is just so much nicer to work with.....

A variation on the big muff....and I will do a youtube video soon to demonstrate the fantastical diabolicalicious fuzzysound this pedal makes...
