Combat Mad Max pedals

[fazer]

I found these in a shed that had a leaky roof there’s no electronics in them they were going to be used for builds but lost 40 years ago. They remind me of rat rods or mad max pedals Makes me want a mad max guitar rig

I had some pedals once that were permanently installed in this weird homemade podium that came out of a biker bar. They were rusty and coated in layers of smoke and spilled beer, but not nearly as abused as those two!

They are pretty crusty and decayed. I was going to toss them but then thought about installing an overdrive/fuzz and making the other a volume/wah or something and combine it with an old rebuild pa head for a guitar amp. I’d keep the destroyed look outside but new insides and pots. Make it an ugly sleeper rig. Didn’t Terry Kath from Chicago use a Knight PA head for recording or live also amp head.

https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/ has lots of layouts for various guitar pedal circuits. I've used a few with success, usually modifying them (slightly or extensively) for my builds. And although it would affect the look somewhat, a few layers of clear coat would probably slow the oxidation process down substantialy.

They look pretty hefty to me. A bit of sand blasting and they would be as good as new.
