When the pedal is all the way back, the tap switch sticks up enough to tap the tempo in. As you can see, you have to grind out a corner of the rocker pedal, but it works great, you don't even notice the corner is missing.

Turns out, there's room in the corner for a Carlingswitch brand switch only. I didn't want to put another footswitch in the maple top for tap-tempo so I got to thinking about the space inside of the pedal. The Korg DT-10B is inline all the time, I like what the buffer does for both the feel and tone. The switch on top is currently on there with just a stainless washer, but I'll be replacing with a glow-in-the-dark washer once the material arrives and I machine it out. I couldn't eat up an instant access switch solely for a mute button, but luckily the Liquid-Foot has 4 exp jacks so exp1 is delay mix, exp2 is tap-tempo, exp3 is the mute/tune. The switch on the top above the green display is the system mute/tune. One has AC going to the duplex receptacle, one has MIDI, and the 3rd is both the send & return which go to and from the wah/tuner. Coming from the side of the box is three small black plastic Heyco fittings. So I cut some think sheet metal sheilding for around the 1/4" connectors, then grounded the shielding - Buzz eliminated. I found out later that putting the 1/4" connectors right near the AC wasn't a good idea - First time I plugged everything in it was buzzing loud as hell. The box has a Neutrik Powercon input, Neutrik Ethercon for the MIDI, and an in & out 1/4". Boiling it in the dye took hours but it came out a nice jet black. 100 MA per outlet 1A maximum combined current for all outlets. Cables provided make the output center negative. 8 protected center positive 9V DC outlets. We dont know when or if this item will be back in stock. The interface box is one of those gray 4"x4"x2" outdoor boxes from Home Depot, which I dyed with black Rit dye. SKB PS45 Deluxe Pedalboard with Hard Case. The bottom is just a piece of 1/2" baltic birch. The 6.2 board feet plank cost about $56 from Woodcraft. It started out as a 7/8" thick plank, which we cut down and plained down to 5/8", practically wearing out a set of plainer blades in the process. I bought a piece of birdseye maple from Woodcraft, which has a pretty awesome selection if you're looking for something nice.

Do you have capability to build your own? Here's a copy & paste of a post I did on the Liquid-Foot forum, right after I finished building my pedalboard.Īfter weeks of contemplation, I finally executed the plan.
