"It makes sound and you can play with it! As a 'Effector enjoyment method', this totally stole the show! The design instantly recognizable as both a BIG MUFF and a certain toy is also great. The sword shaped like a cigar, matching Mike Matthews, shows thoughtful attention to detail and is fun.The fact that it hasn't lost its toy functionality shows both playfulness and dedication. Yet, at its core, it's still a BIG MUFF. While it might seem like a novelty at first glance, upon reflection, the approach of "modifying the enclosure" is a popular method – it's dreamy and wonderful. The fact that it's made from a child's unused toy really resonated as a story. This was a very high-level competition, but this is the undisputed Grand Prix winner!"

Kenji Fujiwara's work "MyRAT"

Selection Comments
"While this TCGAKKI-famous 'Modified Effector Contest' has always attracted perverts and produced countless playful items, this entry truly shook us to the core. It didn't just have a playful spirit—it was pure play itself. Its unapologetic dedication to forging ahead regardless of functionality or practicality makes it the undisputed No. 1 entry in this project."

Horiei's Work "The Allure of Carbon SD-1"

Selection Comments
"The first time I saw carbon graphite was on the neck of some Bass. More than its strength as a material, I thought its appearance was cool.This pedal incorporates that look into its exterior, and with such meticulous finishing. Normally, you'd only consider changing the paint job for an exterior change, so this concept is brilliant. The careful lettering on top of that is also perfect. If this were subpar, it would feel too DIY and disappointing. Additionally, the parts unified in blue give a flawless impression. Furthermore, the sound modifications aren't pretentious and remain purely practical, which is also appealing. Aki Matsuneo"

Bottle Cap FuzzFaceNano"

Selection Comments
"The world's smallest with outstanding impact. At this size, weight isn't an issue, and since it fits in your pocket, it's appealing to someone like me who wants to carry as little as possible."

Sapporo Strobe Lights' work "Pencil BIG MUFF"

Selection Comments
"Amidst another year of outstanding entries that were hard to rank... here it comes... a truly unique concept. As someone who handles EHX gear, I simply couldn't resist modifying the legendary Big Muff. That was the deciding factor.

By the way, pencil leads range from 10B to F to 10B. Those who've studied drawing might be familiar with this, but did you all know? Of course, the composition differs for each, so I imagine the sound changes with the lead's darkness. A new rabbit hole awaits here..."

Akira Akai's work "Great Three Dragons Booster"

Selection Comments
"A must-have for mahjong enthusiasts!! "

Kenta Claus (YSXL)'s work "Echoes of Departure"

Selection Comments
"We were drawn to the impact of including that irresistible 'bus stop button' and the nostalgic visual of signs (?) like 'Passengers Boarding/Alighting' and 'One-Man Operation' extending beyond the cabinet.
The 'Next Stop' announcement feature is also an interesting and high-scoring point. The fact that it offers not just visual appeal but also a bit of playful fun was a deciding factor in its selection. "
