The Debut Of Pedal Mom! The first in my new series of videos about - well, Pedals of course! This one is all about the first one I made - the prototype for the first Frantone pedal which was called the Fuzzywuzzy that I cobbled together from parts bought off the shelf at Radio Shack way back in the Spring of 1994. Enjoy!

    I miss Radio Shack. When I was a kid, I made an entire recording studio out of "Realistic" and "Tandy" stuff.

    cool thanks

    You're too clever for the Globalist Elite scum to allow influencing the idiot sheep general population Fran. You're doing everything right, the algorithm is not only out of your control, but it actively has a bias AGAINST people like you.

    Thank you for enduring on and engulfing the collective consciousness with your wit and intellect.

    I tried to make a simple boost pedal with all Radio Shack parts once. Didn't work out too well.

    Ever had any legal issue with Peter Frampton whom had the FRAMPTONE device in the 70's ?

    It has a unique, bright sound I think would be great in 'normal' rock n' roll.
    ( Maybe not evil – sounding enough for Metal is what I mean )
    👹
    Can you please explain the functions of some pedals, from an electronics POV? – Maybe show us the waveform on an Oscilloscope?
    I've always been curious about the WAH ( or WAH WAH ) pedal; Metallica's Kirk Hammett really brought it to life in a way I've not heard elsewhere.

    I have a small roll of Radio Shack brand solid core 4 conductor telephone wire. Not bad for light duty hook up wire

    Radio Shack is online now, but it isn't like it used to be when you walk into the store. I miss going there.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars anotherOneMore7 says:

    Yes to Radio Shack smell. I also miss my TRS-80 Model III.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dragon420 says:

    Wow, that looks alot like the wiring for the pickups. I've never noticed that before.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pops Fereal says:

    There was a little business pc shop in the late 80's in cardiff. They sold c64 games (one small rack but always the latest) so i used to frequent it. I dont know what the smell was..plastic tile carpet/glue. Cardboard boxes full of 286 pc's and cling wrapped floppy disks.. maybe all those joysticks with the grease. but it had such a specific weird smell i just loved.
    ..it meant games..it was part of the commodore memory. Part of the birth of pc's. Can still smell it almost 😅 weird lil store.
