Not only has the transistor been replaced with a silicon one for convenience, but a germanium transistor has also been installed for a different sound, a specification that will make even fuzz freaks groan. This is one unit that presents the possibilities of analog from a new angle. I want to try it out with different types of transistors!

We all know that vacuum tubes, as well as various other elements and electronic components, change their characteristics depending on the temperature, which in turn affects the sound. Serious or not, I don't know... In honor of this bizarre piece of work, a temperature-controlled effector, please allow me to award you the BARKS Award.

BARKS Award Interview

As a sneaker fan, I was intrigued by the idea of using a child's shoe as a cover for an effector. As a sneaker fan, I was intrigued by the idea of using a child's shoe as an effector housing (cover?). I like that the mini pedal fits perfectly in the shoe. I thought it would be interesting to make a pedalboard full of shoe effectors by reusing shoes.

I personally like Big Muff, but I was simply struck by the design. I like mechanical things. Just looking at it makes me excited.

In recent years, many effectors are digital, and the room for modification has physically become less easy, but there are many fierce players who modify them here, and I wonder if it is a good thing that this place has become a competition of techniques. However, there are also many people who have modified them and are very keen on doing so. So, this "mandarin orange squeezer" is simply an old kit that I changed the exterior because of a flash of inspiration from the naming. I thought it was a very important work for this contest. At the same time, this kit had a very good idea to remove the back cover of the L-type horn plug and attach it to the chassis, which was very impressive. I have no complaints about the practicality of this kit. I chose this kit because it is the origin of the effector.

Guitar and games are both verbs, "Play". Two players are recommended.

We selected this work because of its appearance, which attracted our attention, and because it is a practical multi-effector. The appearance of the case is attractive, but the practicality of the multi-effects pedal is what made the selection.

Cool name! It's simple to use and has a great fuzz sound!

One of the best outings in the history of the Modified Effects Contest! The moment I saw Mike Matthews shining so divinely, I was convinced that I had no choice but to choose this item as a distributor of ehx. It's fantastic! I am (personally) looking forward to seeing more models with more brilliance and color variations in the future!

As a bassist, I thought this was a work that I would actually like to produce a sound for. I also thought it suited the theme of this year's contest.
