Here's my pedal...used auto serpentine belt! Cut into strips then laid the prices on a peice of aluminum. I'll glue them down and trim them tomorrow.

So ive been building the pedal now. The pedal itself was made from an aluminum plate. I coverd it with peices of a auto serpentine belt. The pedal base is plywood. I have the two hammond project boxes. Hoping to have it completed by the endvof this week.

Also incorporating the pedal that came with the trap.

More work today on the pedal. Ive attached the boxes to the base and added a red led and cover from an old switch. Gonna wire the light to a battery and switch.

Hi all
More work on the pedal...attached the hoses tonight. Ran the wires for the walmart pedal thru the hoses. Used a peice of steel key material to make the nycoil part. Drilled it out so the hose fit in then drilled out the underside so I could pass the wire thru. Also attached the d sub fitting and part of the ribbon cable.

Just got my relay! Its not correct but close.. considering the original one costs around 50 and is hard to find. This cost 8.95

 

[propmainiac]

So installed the relay to the hammond box. To secure the relay i drilled into the main post on the bottom, then drilled a hole in the hammond box. To simulate a socket i used a water bottle cap that i drilled out till it fit snug against the contacts on the bottom of the relay. I screwed it to the top of the box using a washer and a couple of rubber washers .
Using a battery and holder i scavenged from an old desktop i wired this to the red led and led cover from a broken switch. The red led lights up with a toggle switch. Not the way its supposed to light up but its easier than opening up the trap itself and running wires again.

Any comments or suggestions?

VID..EO... VID..EO... VID..EO!! looks great!!

 

[propmainiac]

I will do a video soon i promise

 

[propmainiac]

Ok heres a video. Keep in mind i wasn't trying for screen accurate. Just wanted it to look close. The nycoil connector was scratch built as well as the pedal itself. I also hid the original pedal wires in the red and yellow tubing. The pedal that came with the trap i placed under my scratch built pedal.

A video is worth 10,000 words. Awesome work !

Thanks! Really like how it came out. Adding the frosted plexi and the purple lights really made the difference
