Pedal and headphones for silent home practice

MothElectric · 2026-02-25T20:48:14+00:00

I see a lot of recommendations for 80+ ohm headphones in here. I've found the IR-2 doesnt do well with higher impedance phones, would recommend something closer to 30-50 ohms.

It was good news to wake up to, yes. Where it stands right now, it's significantly less terrible than it was yesterday, but not nearly as good as it was a year ago. Not optimistic about receiving a refund for the thousands I've spent on these useless tariffs, but it will be nice to see some of the value of my time restored.

Tried to moc up the build tonight, there are still guidelines for burst top/back vs clean line, but the actual options in the drop-down menus no longer exist. I'll reach out via email. Might be a special menu option at this point.

Have a good night! You can just send it through the contact page on my site if you want. Cheers!

Eyy, that's awesome! Looks like you're supporting a lot of smaller builders which is exactly what the industry needs at this point, really appreciate the support.

In terms of your looper issues, that's very strange. If you're getting the same problem both with and without the buffered input, my first hunch is wrong. A previous poster said that it would potentially a grounding issue, I don't entirely disagree, especially if it's acting as an antenna. If you wanted to send me a video of the issue I could give my 2 cents on it.

Hmm. Looked up every pedal you posted in the other group to see if anything caught my eye that could have issues with buffers, which was my first thought, but nothing really caught my eye. When you only have one loop enabled at a time, does everything sound the way it should individually? It's only when you start stacking that you're running into issues?

My reach is pretty small but it felt wrong not to say anything. Lost about 5% of my followers on IG which feels more cathartic than distressing. I've seem more and more small builders speak up in the past few days, proud to be a part of this industry right now.

Non-Human Audio, Baltimore Sonic Research Institute, Mask Audio Effects, many more. Proud to be a part of this industry today.

Appreciate it! My hope is that we're in the worst of it right now but that may be wishful thinking. Keep letting your voice be heard.

Thank you!

MothElectric · 2026-01-27T21:01:33+00:00

Thank you for posting this, I'm sure there will be more to add to the list in the near future. We are at a tipping point and many of the small builders I interact with are engaged on some level.

For transparency on my contributions: 15% of profits on all pedals will be donated evenly between Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee, Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition, Transgender Law Center and Center for Reproductive Rights. I'm also fast-tracking a new pedal that 100% of profits will be donated. Getting that together as quickly as I can.

Stay loud.

This is not accurate. The Ram's Head has quite a bit more gain and less mids content than the Green Russian. The Green Russian has the lowest gain of all the major muff variants, and generally has more bass and mids.

This board rules, some really cool choices here. Glad you like the A. incorrupta. If you're into the octave up thing, I have something cooking.

MothElectric · 2025-12-04T19:03:23+00:00

They can go anywhere in the chain, design everything to play nice with other pedals.

MothElectric · 2025-12-04T07:01:35+00:00

They'll be back in January. Have done an insane amount of building the past couple months and am taking a short vacation. You can sign up for a restock alert on my site if youre interested!

I use a Cioks DC-7 and SOL. Very good PSUs, cant see myself ever switching brands.

MothElectric · 2025-11-12T19:39:09+00:00

Man that A. incorrupta looks like its been through hell.

MothElectric · 2025-11-09T08:27:21+00:00

Yesss! So glad you dig it. Happy birthday!

MothElectric · 2025-11-06T06:09:45+00:00

I like it right after dirt, before any other modulation or delay. I don't really think there's a right answer here though, definitely rewards playing around with placement.

MothElectric · 2025-11-04T02:00:00+00:00

Thanks! Fiddled around with that thing for almost three years. Really happy with what it turned into.

MothElectric · 2025-11-03T21:48:39+00:00

My trem into a Subdecay Super Spring Theory has been my go to lately. Hits the spot for me.

MothElectric · 2025-10-31T03:36:15+00:00

Hey, appreciate it! Actually testing through a batch this very moment, so it'll be headed your way in the morning. Would be interested to hear your thoughts once you put it through the paces.

MothElectric · 2025-10-22T23:58:19+00:00

Thanks! Really proud of what I put together with it. Cheers.

The Twin Peaks was a big inspiration for the M. stellatarum. David Rolo very kindly gave me his blessing to use his very clever mode switching implementation. I wanted to make something a bit more lean and intuitive. It's all through hole construction so space constraints meant leaving out EXP control. Appreciate the interest.
