From 2003-2009, I ran a small business building electronic devices on a custom-order basis for musicians around the world. The projects ranged from adding an expression pedal jack to a completely customized synthesizer. I also designed some circuits for small effects pedal companies. All in all, there are probably a few hundred devices with my signature scribbled in Sharpie somewhere on their case. This page shows some of the more interesting projects I completed.

Modified Electro Harmonix Small Stone
This is a modified small clone I did, to make it a bit more useful. It was true bypassed, the power jack was changed, a switch was added to make the LFO go super slow, and the LED color was changed. Though the mods here aren't to heavy, I would be happy to do any sort of mods to a small stone... I have been wanting for a long time to really dig into one of these and give it a manual sweep knob, multiple LFO depth ranges and waveform controls, maybe a step sequencer, feedback controls and switches to change the sound of each stage, etc... so if you have the urge to have a super tweaked out small stone, let me know.
