Heads up: I will be removing the blog link on this website soon. The page will continue as normal, so I want to notify all my readers - uh..reader - to bookmark this page to access it.

There are 2 kinds of toggle switches - those with the small ball at the end and those without. The ones with ball are definitely cooler.
[sound on] After a 2 year hiatus it feels good to get back to making these, what I call the Stompbox Footswitch. Inspired by the time a 15 year old me was watching Led Zeppelin's Song Remains the Same in awe and saw Jimmy Page strut across the stage cool-as-hell and dramatically stomp on his guitar pedal in undeniable rock star fashion (and also co-inspired by the bulbous yellow porcelain footswitch to my grandmother's china cabinet that I clicked on and off incessantly 10 years before that). The idea for this was in my head for literally decades - but I had no idea how to make it happen. Then at some point I decided to start down the path of building this, but finding the right materials was a big challenge. I figured it out and was able to make a few, some of which I sold on Etsy to very excited customers, but I had to shelve it since dealing with the cord and strain relief just was a huge pain. But now I figured that stuff out and I'm back up and running. I've sold a few on Etsy recently backed by the slogan of "Buy it for your inner rock, love it for the eternally satisfying CLICK." Let there be Rock! Etsy store  Jimmy Page circa '73 Another piece from the permanent collection of the Gazdonian Museum of the Tangible (GMoT) Step back modern seat belts, for the old school GM seatbelts have a head and shoulders more satisfying Detroit “click”. From the permanent collection of GMoT (Gazdonian Museum of the Tangible) I didn't even realize my manager booked me for the Green River Festival  I was given a challenge coin at work today. This has nice heft when held in your hand. Definitely cool.   I recently ended up going deep down a rabbit hole of my own videos (which admittedly is a bit weird) I kind of forgot I did this one. Slow motion video of the reflection of ripples in my in-law's pool taken with my GoPro, set to a clip of Circles Around the Sun live at Brooklyn Bowl in 2016. Trippy stuff. |
