WIP. Hopefully available - to buy - soon-ish.

The forum didn't like my pic, so here's a second attempt.

Forgot to mention, the lighty things light, the turny things turn and the pedally things, erm, pedal.

Other accessories, such as mounting board, cables and power supply will be included. Most likely a few other types of FX boxes, too.

looks great Sam

Thank you. :)

Eagle eyed folks will spot there are only two types of box there. I'm going to provide a variety of textures for 'em both so you can dial up any of the popular effects. I'll also make a few more variants on the box, with different control knobs and input/output options, so you can recreate almost any of the Boss range. Needless to say - but I'll say it anyhow - any trademark infringing names and logos will be removed and replaced with a suitable alternative prior to putting them out there in Poserland.

Of course, there's nothing to stop anyone replacing the replacements after the fact.

A the moment, I'm working on the textures for the two types shown above. Once they're done I'll move on to the next types and so forth.

The box design itself - I checked this - isn't trademarked, patented or copyrighted. Roland/Boss tried to do this years ago, when other manufacturers started to copy their (admittedly superb) construction, but lost. Now, there are many different companies making pedals based on this design but, to my ears, Boss remain the best for compact units. Yes, you can spend a fortune on custom/boutique and vintage pedals but for the most part, Boss really do the job.

Although, on reflection, I really, really regret getting rid of my old Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress flanger. Noisy as frying bacon and a horrible signal drop when engaged but these things can be rectified nowadays. Oh well, live and learn. Maybe I should make a model of that, too. Hmmm...

So are these like the ones Dubfx uses, if you don't know him here is a video? :D

Sort of. Looks like he has a wah pedal but for the most part it seems like he's using a couple of foot controllers to trigger external sounds.

The things I made are designed to have an instrument plugged into 'em.

These are great! Takes me back to my only "band" days!! (on summer doing events with my roomie!)

Do you still play? If so, what gear do you have? And if not, why not?

I'm looking for a band - you'd be too far away to jam with, though - since my songwriting buddy left for distant shores last year. I should perhaps run an ad:

"Used guitarist, one careful owner (but the other 758 weren't so careful) free to good home. Eats anything, loves kids."

I still play ... Acoustic. 3/4 Tempo and a 12-string Fender. I play mostly soft rock and folk music. With the same roomie from back in the 70's!!!

Nice one!

So... I guess Industrial Metal not up your street, then?

Wow! We've Gotta Fuzz Box and We're Gonna Use It.

When they became successful they shortened it to Fuzzbox. Were a nice bunch of people, too; very funny and friendly. Probably still are, for all I know. :D

You need this one too Sam! \m/

It's on the list! m/ m/

I'm tempted to add the BS-1 Blame Shifter and the TB-1 Talent Booster, too.

A little update. I wasn't happy with the control knobs on one of the boxes - I'm calling it Pedal 1 for convenience sake - the metal caps were too large, so I reduced them and added a little more curve to the upper edges of the plastic parts. The result is much more like the real thing now. Also added a few more textures for this variant.

There's a slight amount of Bump on the printed parts so they are very slightly raised from the surface, as on the real thing. It doesn't show up much on the satin finishes but the glossy ones show it off well.
