--- Quote ---Menace, what did you use? --- End quote --- I based my design on the first link with modifications becuase I wanted 360 wheels not 270--so i kept the double row of bearings (used roller blade wheel bearing and not pillow block ones) and instead of the gear at the end, I have an encoder wheel which I based off of one of the templates over in the build your own spinner section. I also used a long carriage bolt (5/16") as it made mounting everything so much easier--just bolt it together and call it done. The head of the bolt is hidden under the plastic cap on the wheel. For pedals I used pc pedals--cheaper, easy to find and already wired. |

My plastic PC pedals always feel like they're going to break. I was thinking of building pedals using heavy-duty gate hinges. They'll look awful, but they'll work well from a standing perspective. --Chris |

Like I said, I've been searching guitar volume pedal sites too. http://www.geocities.com/stompboxworktop/rocker4.jpg http://www.geocities.com/stompboxworktop/ Just need to put a sping on one side of the pedal for arcade. |
