I've been e-mailing Keith at MachineHeadPedals for about a week now about doing a mod for me. We swapped phone #'s and I was supposed to call him Fri afternoon to talk---- I didn't call him until today (Sunday) because I'm stupid and forgot. The guy is a Prince. We talked for almost 2 hrs about gear. Not just what they sell but every piece of gear known to man. He knows what TONE is. He understood what I want even tho I can't explain it in tech terms. I was already sold on his work just from the demo's I could find ( 72 degrees anybody) but after talking to him I feel I gained a new friend that's just as twisted as I am!!! This guy loves gear. Even if you don't order anything call him up--- you might be surprised with some new ideas. I'll let ya'll know how the mod goes when we're done but I'm already stoked. Oh yeah-- he's even a member here. Check 'em out.

Hey Cletus Keith makes some great pedals,I just picked up one of his 72 Degree pedals a while back at a local shop here in Maryland and it's awesome.It actually took the place of another boutique overdrive pedal that had been on my board for a few years.The thing I like about the pedal is that it's very open sounding and not compressed like a lot of overdrive pedals out there.It's also built like a tank, and most of all it sounds awesome.I've been in touch with Keith thru the Tele board and he seems like a very nice guy that has a great product.Mark Moree aka DblStop

Whatever I say is going to sound biased because I'm responsible for those clips. But I've gotta say, the MHP stuff is the schnizzle. I just love the 72. I take it everywhere and it cuts right through on stage, where it counts (for me, at least). And yes, they're built like little tanks with a degree of care that only the guy who conceived, designed and built them could offer.

I found a great article on Keith the other day. I've never met him (we live on opposite sides of the world) but I found this to be very informative.

More power to Keith and MHP. I hope others will discover them soon and enjoy them as much as I have. :)

Enough flag waving then. Back to my Tele and the 72 for a little twang.

Thats what always I liked about the Barber Electronics pedals the pride in workmanship you can see inside the box. I'm glad to see someone else is taking up that banner...

DblStop-- I got in touch with Keith thru this board also. Glad you're digging his pedal cause I just sent him a pedal to tweak a little bit.

Telingme--- if I had your chops I'd probably be biased too!! Love your videos.
