- THE GREATEST 9V PEDAL POWER SUPPLY EVER?
We’ve been throwing around the idea of making a power supply for some time after making a few for the workshop. But it wasn’t until recently that we successfully built a working prototype, shown in all of its naked glory above. With some hand-wound transformers and a very efficient switching transistor, we have come up with a 9V power supply with as many output taps as required, at any current required, and each individual tap is isolated from each other – all able to fit into a standard Crunch Box size pedal. - NEW SUPER BLUES PRO!
The Blues Pro, along with the Crunch Box, have been a couple of pedals that have gained a lot of fans over the years we have been making them. When I designed them long ago, I wanted to create a pair of pedals crammed with many different sounds, accessible via three knobs. The simplicity of the design grabbed the attention of a lot of musicians but as the years ticked on, and more and more overdrive pedals hit the market, we received feedback from the fans asking for a bit more from these designs. - GUITAR NOIZE PODCAST FEATURING MICHAEL IBRAHIM FROM MI AUDIO
In the discussion with Jon from Guitar Noize, I was asked about all of our new releases planned for 2012 (which there are many!!) and things that are in the pipeline. Have a listen on the link below and stay tuned to the podcast series for more featured Australian builders and musicians. - NEW PROTOTYPE LO-FI DELAY
Over the years, MI Effects has been known for great overdrive and distortion pedals and always have been asked “When will MI do a delay pedal?” There have been prototypes, and designs and ideas, but for the designs to come to fruition the pedal would have to retail for $1000, and no-one would pay that… Read more: NEW PROTOTYPE LO-FI DELAY - NEW SUPER CRUNCH BOX
At the MI Workshop, I have always wanted to fully trick-out a Crunch Box to see how many mods and features we could fit into its small enclosure. So one rainy afternoon I did just that, and decided to give three away for our Facebook and Twitter followers. I was pleasantly surprised with how the… Read more: NEW SUPER CRUNCH BOX - MEGALITH GAMMA AMPLIFIER – PRODUCTION PROTOTYPE
This is the production prototype of the Megalith Gamma, shown sitting above its big brother, the Megalith Beta. The production prototype uses the final PCB layout, silkscreened powdercoated chassis, and all of the parts that would be used in the final production model. It allows us to finalise any last details before starting a large… Read more: MEGALITH GAMMA AMPLIFIER – PRODUCTION PROTOTYPE - MEGALITH GAMMA HIGH GAIN AMPLIFIER
Here’s a sneak peek at our new Megalith amplifier, the Megalith Gamma. The picture above is of our final prototype. We’ve been working on this design on and off for about two years now. There have been a few variations of the design, but in the end we went for a design which exhibited maximum… Read more: MEGALITH GAMMA HIGH GAIN AMPLIFIER
