Just saw this on eBay: Malekko B:Assmaster
I'm guessing it's an old one as there's no LED on it- any guess if it's silicon or germanium? |

| | | | The LED is hidden under the surface and shows through the lexan . Cool sounding pedals. It's most likely the silicon version.

Looks pink/yellow and isn't as bright as the newer ones, but works just fine. If you want, I could go down and ask Noisebug directly. I live very close to them.  |

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | Yeah, I have one just like that. Very trick as you can't see it until it's on. Plus it's pink. |

I would love an Assmaster, but not until they make it the size of a Boss pedal
