Hey y’all!

Just wanted to share this demo clip of my pedal, Awkward Mustache, that my friend Zach at Fuzzed Drones recently posted. He did a great job showcasing how it sounds on bass (timestamp: 8:30) with some great QOTSA inspired tones.

What’s your favorite Muff on bass? BBM? Grey Stache? Bluebeard? Something else?

Looks good but, is there a reason for using that mini pcb for the switch? I've seen them in many recent pedals. Once the switch goes faulty -which they do- it's impossible to repair it by yourself and you have to send the pedal to the other part of the world for what could be a simple fix with a normal 3pdt. In this pedal everything looks easy to replace, except for that switch.

Wouldn't you just unsolder the switch from the PCB and solder a new one in? Adding a PCB shouldn't make it harder to repair, it should make it easier.

Well, If you can do it you're good. :thumbsup: I find myself that soldering a PCB is a pain, it's very easy to break something and it's going to look ugly no matter how carefully I do it.

Thanks for asking, man. It's mostly an aesthetic choice, to be perfectly honest. I use the nicer green Gorva soft-click switches that are quite a bit more reliable, ime, than the standard "black box" hard click switches. I've only had one switch fail so far and am happy to replace them free of charge for customers for the cost of shipping them to me -- I warranty all of my pedals. If the switch failed and it needed to be replaced on tour or something, though, it definitely wouldn't be impossible for somebody to wire up a 3pdt without the PCB as long as they had a little circuit knowledge.

Cheers!
