Thread: Wooden stompbox. . .any feedback?

There's not really a whole lot to them. A hunk of wood, a piezo transducer, and some supporting electronics. If someone is willing to provide it more cheaply, then you shouldn't have any reservations about it.

I made one years ago with one of those bottle cap soundboard transducers (Molson's, I think) and an old soprano ukulele body. Sent the signal into a Digitech multi-effects unit with a wah. Pretty sweet noise.

Should make another one with decent parts.

Peace, Mooh.

really? I mean really.

i use one i made for under $5-
i dont have a pic of the finished board, but i took a dollar store metal dish, put an output jack in it, and siliconed a piezo element onto its inside. the piezo came from a radio shack piezo buzzer- the source by circuit city has them for a few dollars each-





i then screwed the dish upside down onto a chunk of wood about an inch thick, and 10" by 14" in size.
i can stomp on the wood in different areas, or on the metal dish itself, so i get a few different sounding stomps.

because the piezo is sealed in the metal dish, theres no feedback at any volume, and i can just run a patch cord to my mixer.

previous to this i used that same chunk of wood, propped up on an angle, with a cheap mic underneath. worked just fine, but the mic was picking up the rest of the room sounds as well- going with the piezo gives way more seperation and control.

took a couple pics, figured i might as well show the thing lol-
