The only thing I would do differently, would be to place the input/output jacks, so when cords are plugged in, they look like spark plugs.

I am so stoked! You can't believe how stoked I am. Words just don't describe it. I am the proud new owner of a limited edition Mr. Bill Fuzzrite pedal! Woo hoo!! I was so excited I played through it for about two hours last night. I've wanted a Fuzzrite for a long time and this is even better!

Newest member of the pedal board. HogFuzz!

Thank you, Mr. Bill!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is just too cool for words!

Actually, I'm quite motivated by this to design my own pedal. Stay tuned for that one. :mrgreen:

Okay, Sarah: For that you HAVE to get one of these Bullet spark-plug ended guitar cables:

I have one and it actually is a wonderful cable but I never thought I was pay $55 for a guitar cable.

So it goes . . .

Who designed those cables, they would be perfect, except the idea is to make it appear that the guitar runs on a spark pug, the wire is in the wrong end. What a disappointment..

Dan
This is how I would have made them...It would look like the guitar had a spark plug in it.

Dan, that cable does look good that way.

Now's your chance to market a new product!!!

I don't mean to criticize the other guys work, but the way they made them doesn't make sense.

Hey, Dan--

I'm such a non-tech type that I didn't even think about it until you pointed it out. But your way does make more sense.

The cable is great! Dan your idea is right on! How can we make those and market them. You've got the right idea and it would look totally cool!

Sarah, Jim;
It would be very simple to machine the end off of a spark plug, and remove the rod down the center, then mount wires and a jack I'll make one tomorrow.
It would make much more sense to me to have the plug appear to be screwed into the side of the guitar.
