Effects Bay

Back in March EffectsBay.com teamed up with pedalenclosures to give away a Prism I pedal enclosure. This was a fun contest, and a great opportunity to give something away to all the DIYers and pedal modders out there! The winner was Marco Antonio Mejia Lara of Mexico City, Mexico. Here is a shot of Marco with his completed project. I want to thank Mike again for helping with this give away, and sending this photo my way! So Marco.. if you’re out there, tell us about the pedal!

Hay! It’s Free Shirt Wednesday.. but on Thursday! Today, I get to model a shirt for pedalenclosures.com, who also happens to be sponsoring this month’s give away (if you don’t know about this month’s give away, pedalenclosures.com is giving away a FREE Prism 1 enclosure and t-shirt).

I actually I was first exposed to pedalenclosures.com by Matt Cheezem of Cheese Blocks Effects. His sCream Cheese Overdrive uses this enclosure, and our review of that pedal, I mentioned I was impressed with the enclosure. I was impressed on two levels. The first was the originality and look of the enclosure. It’s not the same standard enclosure look, and that was refreshing. Secondly, the enclosure is a tank and looked totally bomb proof.  The enclosure on the sCream Cheese was the YY enclosures, which is different than the Prism I or Prism II enclosures, but those also have the same originality and ‘cool’ factor.

Mike at pedalenclosures has been building enclosures since 2007, with the simple goal, and I quote “To provide the best enclosure specifically designed for the boutique industry”. I like it!

Please take a moment and check out pedalenclosures.com and check out these awesome pedal enclosures!!

Now, if you want to be featured on Free Shirt Wednesday.. it’s really quite simple. Send me a shirt, if it’s music related (ie: guitar builder, band, pedal builder, guitar shop, recording studio, etc) I’ll dedicate a blog post about your biz, band, etc. I’ll take a photo with my aging, slightly pudgy mug and post it. Great simple, cheap form of advertising. Still interested? Then check this page for more info

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED

Today, I’m excited to announce a new give-away, but this time, it’s a little different. Since doing this site, it’s been cool talking to pedal builders / hackers / tweakers / DIYers out there. People that get excited about solder, LEDs and 3pDT switches. If you fall in this group, this give-away should get you excited.  Do you have a broken pedal enclosure, or are interested in changing the look of an existing pedal in your line, well this will be for you as well.

This give-away, I’m not giving away a pedal, but a great pedal enclosure. This enclosure is the Prism I Pedal enclosure by the great company pedalenclosures. Some awesome builders have been using pedalenclosures pedals for years (ie: Cheese Blocks, Dwarfcraft Devices, EarthQuaker Devices, Black Cat Pedals and more).

This enclosure will be in a Silver Vein finish (pictured). The silver vein finish Prism I normally sells for $23.49 and looks absolutely awesome. As their slogan says, “make all the other pedals jealous”

Along with the pedal enclosure, Mike from pedalenclosures is giving away a T-Shirt as well. The winner will need to give me their shirt size. Here is a shot of the shirt:

Here is some info about pedalenclosures:
