Cool looking wooden enclosure

Thought you guys would find this interesting. It's a passive volume/mute pedal in a sweet looking wooden treasure box. The 2 potentiometers are strictly for design. It would've worked with just one but I thought it looked better with 2. They both do the same thing.

EBK wants to know where you got those knobs, but he's too nervous to ask.

Very funny, therm.

Interesting.  Have you considered using the second potentiometer for a passive tone control?

Haha they're from Michael's art store for about $2. I'm also working on a bigger one I got with 11 pots. My girlfriends gonna paint it for me this week That'd be sweet about the tone control! I have no idea how to wire that tho, I "free-handed" it so I used some random extra pots i had and wired it in parallel with each other.

Just realized you said knobs sorry! Here is the link I ordered from http://www.ebay.com/itm/252707222048?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

That looks awesome, makes me think of Day of The Tentacle (old Lucasarts adventure game), or the Treehouse of Horror episodes of The Simpsons.

As for a tone control, since it's a passive pedal you may as well just wire it as a normal guitar tone control. Bonus: you could put it between a buffered pedal and a Fuzz Face, and get back some of that unbuffered-FF mojo.

cut an f-hole in one side of the box, tell people it's a semi-acoustic passive volume control.

My previous wife tried making a craft hobby/job thing of decorating those little trinket boxes. She got them in cheap quantity lots from e-bay. Place was littered with the bloody things. Didn't get rich. She had to go.

I was expecting a sprung lid with some fiendishly clever levers to a pot making it a proper volume pedal - challenge for mkII?

For a minute I thought, "Damn, duck. Getting a little risque there aren't we?!!" lol.
