Pedal builder

I know what I want but I have no knowledge of how to build it. How do I find a pedal builder who might be able to help me? Thanks in advance.

You track down the web sites of as many builders as you can, see if their web site mentions custom builds, then ask them.

I'd be willing to bet that what you want already exists, and if not then there's a good reason why.

I want a MIDI-controllable version of the EHX Freeze, but it doesn't exist. The reason it doesn't is because pedal builders are MEANIES!

I don't mind the $499.00 price tag, but they are not building them! I'd like to find someone who will.

Is mind control an option????

OK, I was wrong! Sorry about that. My snarky responses were because (a) you gave us zero info to work with, and (b) most people who post "can somebody custom-build me a pedal" are kids who don't know much about what's out there and who want to pay $50 for a $300 pedal.

It is very odd that you PM'ed me such a lengthy and detailed explanation, but did not put all that info in your posts here.

At any rate, now we know that you have tried to order that one pedal and it is not available at anything approaching their regular price--so you are looking for alternatives. Great! Now we can actually dig into the collective knowledge base and help you.

I still haven't a stutter delay pedal. But I think such a pedal is of limited use to most people.

In re that and Brian's MIDI Freeze, I did not mean my comment in such a general sense, that "everything already exists or shouldn't". I only meant it for the person I incorrectly thought I was addressing: a kid who did not know what was actually available.

My snarky responses are because I like House.

No, your snarky responses are because you have Lupus.
