Thread Name: Tech: Building a stompbox....
Subject: RE: Tech: Building a stompbox....
ok..I'm sorry...I should have clarified.

Im building a box from wood (actually, i did it this morning, and I'm just about to try it out) Its about 4" high at the highest point, and its 1'4" wide and 1' long from the side, it looks like a door stop. I put three supports underneath the ply wood, which created two separate compartments in the box in one side, i bracketed in an old microphone, on the other, a transducer strip. I plan to run the 1/4 inch cables from each into my board when I play live. Hopefully, when I tap my foot on the board, i can adjust each channel (one for the mic, one for the pick up) and get different percussion sounds when I tap my foot on it in different places. "Stompbox" is an old hillbilly term for anything you stomp on while you play to get a drum sound. I hope this helps.   So, I'm guessing that no one has any hints?
