Instructions

  1. Small mxr csp 21 1235483524

    Study the pedal. Cut out the felts for basic cube shape. Make a cube by sewing the pieces up.

  2. Small knobs 1235482487

    On top, for the 'tone knobs', use the tiny ring thing from (broken) guitar strings. (It might be a little difficult to cut them off from the guitar strings.)

  3. Small switch 1235482569

    For the 'step-on switch', any tube-like object will do. cut a tiny hole in the top side. Stabilize it from inside.

  4. Small p1015443 1235482919

    Stitch them up. I also added the 'input/output' hole on each side, just by sewing some stitches. The whole thing is very tiny, because it has to go with the size of those'knobs'.

  5. Small p1015437 1235483006

    Make a special 'user manual' for it.

    Hooray!!
