TAZO tea tin mania
A while back a good friend of mine gave me a bunch of Tazo tea tins and they're turnin' out to be pretty handy enclosures for amps and synths.Thanks Amy!

Playing three or four instruments at one time
Hi, This is a video I made playing one of my altoids APCs, drums, and Harmonica all at the same time. I titled it three or four instruments because I don't know if you want to count maracas. I think it's worth noting that I didn't practice this at all, I just got a little time on my hands so I jammed and recorded it. Now that I've watched it I can go back and re-do it later. Enjoy. Recorded on June 17, 2012 using a Flip Video camcorder.
Hammond Piper II beats through DATABASS
This pedal is a beast as well as an instrument of mass destruction. It has a oscillator with switchable LDR (light dependent resistor), so it can be played as a theremin stand alone instrument. You can also switch the oscillator to gated and the tone will only come out when you play through it, as a effect, it is an over the top fuzz octave/8-bit sound. You can use the light sensor to modulate the tones like a wah pedal. The pedal runs on internal 9 volt or 9 volt adapter, it has a true bypass foot stomper, switchable LDR/knob pitch control, and volume control.

8 Bit Databass mega pedal
This is a custom pedal I was contracted to build for someone I thought
it turned out pretty good I thought I'd share it with you. It's an all
new pedal. It's Two effects in one. On one side you've got a synth fuzz
that is a square wave oscillator with a light sensor, A faux theremin,
for purists. Its a square wave oscillator/ fuzz pedal; the synth is a
VCO that is powered by whatever instrument you are playing through but
you can switch off the gate and use it as a stand alone instrument. The
fuzz/synth side has volume, sensitivity, and power starve. On the other
side, Its a ring mod / weird LFO/ tremolo effect with a lot of range.
There are blend and rate controls for that effect.
