I’ve been really getting into pedal hacking and I’ve been a little obsessed over the idea of making pedals one day. The pedal hacking community is incredibly kind and helpful, and it’s really easy to get the bug and desire to make something.. and if all goes well, works with your guitar.
A couple of days ago @4ntwaan let me know about something that Zachary Vex of ZVex has been up to. At the 2010 NAMM he was talking about the Inventobox, basically a pedal hacker’s dream box. It allows you to wire in pots, drop in ‘modules’ or craft you own circuits into the pedal.
Here is a video where Zachary explains the Inventobox:
As you can see, there is some great cool potential here. I’ve been planning on making a prototyping board that interfaces with a bredboard and pedal enclosure (ala Beavis Board) and this is definitely the hi-tech version of this. Awesome!

It’s like the most amazing idea i ever seen, since Zvex built some amazing effect (not just thinking of the fuzz factory, the mastotron sounds terrific too for example…).

It’s really interesting to have 2 zvex in one, all by yourself, but still… it’s actually the craziest idea Zachary could have, since he’s planning to give all the plan of his products.
This pedal is very interesting to me, but i think there’s surely something going on for the next step (something different, other than pedals and nano amps), but that’s my opinion…
