"It makes sounds and you can play with it!"EffectorAs a way to enjoy it, this one completely won me over! The design, which allows you to recognize both the BIG MUFF and a certain toy at a glance, is also good. The fact that the sword is a cigar to match Mike Matthews shows the love put into it and is fun. You can see the playfulness and attention to detail in how it doesn't lose the function of a toy. And yet it is stillEffectorInside is a BIG MUFF. At first glance it looks like a novelty item, but when you think about it, the fact that it's a modification using a popular method of "changing the cabinet" is quite imaginative and nice. The fact that it's made from a child's old toy also touches the story. This was a very high-level competition, but this is undoubtedly the grand prize winner!

Eleven-sama visited our store! We presented them with a shopping voucher as the grand prize! ⭐️Congratulations⭐️

"Attract perverts"TCGAKKIFamous "modification"EffectorAs this is a contest, we've seen plenty of playful items before, but I was thrilled to see something that not just had a playful spirit, but *play* itself. The determination to push forward regardless of reduced functionality or lack of practicality is the best in this project.

Horie's artwork "The Charm of Carbon SD-1"

Selection Comments
"The first time I saw carbon graphite was for something..."BassIt was a bottleneck for me, but more than the strength of the material, I thought it looked cool. This pedal incorporates that into its appearance, and the finish is incredibly meticulous. Usually, people only think of changing the paint to alter the appearance, but this idea is brilliant. The careful lettering on top is also perfect. If this wasn't done well, it would look too much like a DIY project and be a shame. In addition, the parts that are all blue are also well thought out. Furthermore, the sonic modifications are not pretentious and are purely practical, which I appreciate. - Akimatsu Neo

"It's the world's smallest and makes a huge impact. At this size, the weight isn't a concern, and since I can carry it in my pocket, it's very appealing to me as I try to carry as little as possible."

"Pencil BIG MUFF," a work by Sapporo Strobe Lights.

Selection Comments
"Among the many excellent entries this year, it's hard to choose a favorite...and here it is...a completely unexpected idea. As someone who works with EHX, I simply couldn't avoid modifying the legacy Big Muff. That was the deciding factor."

By the way, did you know that pencil leads come in grades from 10B to F to 10B? Those who have studied drawing or similar arts might be familiar with this, but did you all know? Of course, the composition differs for each grade, so the sound will change depending on the lead's hardness. A new rabbit hole awaits...

"Echo of Remembrance" by Kentaclaus (YSXL)

Selection Comments
"I was drawn to the impactful design, which includes that 'bus stop request button' that makes you want to press it, and the somewhat nostalgic visual appeal of the signs (?) that protrude from the casing, such as 'Boarding/Alighting' and 'One-Man Operation'."
The fact that it also plays an announcement saying "Next stop" is a nice touch and a big plus. The fact that it's not just visually appealing but also has a playful element was a deciding factor in its selection.」

"Wind Vibe," a work by Ikisugi DIY.

Selection Comments
"The reason I chose this is..."EffectorAssuming that this is the case, I found the greatest appeal to be that it is not bound by the forms that everyone has in mind. I was also impressed by the way they create things that no one else has thought of and that disregard preconceived notions. As for the sound, it can be played however the player wants.EffectorI hope it will bring out its full potential.」

Goodsontoys's creation, "V8 Fuzz / Time Machine Ver.3"

Selection Comments
"I saw the DeLorean in this movie at the theater back then. I remember the DeLorean as a sports car, but the one in this movie had a roaring engine like a rally car."
Loud noise = FUZZ = Long history
This work really evokes the image that fuzz sounds are indispensable to music of any era. Thank you very much.」
