I purchased the bass pickup at www.guitarfetis...

That is actually the best sounding stomp box I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing how to build one.
Wow, great sound on the stomp box and amazing playing!
Great film
Great pop box thanks pop
I am a Harmonica player and it is spot on for me if I think I can manage the electrics
Thanks for sharing
The Dude Abides!! Loved it before I saw that sticker..now I have to make one!
Woah! Wicked sound! Did not expect that at all! Definitely putting bass pickups in mine, and a number plate!
I built one of these over the weekend and had my local guitar repair guy wire it up for me. Just FYI you have to put the pickups pretty close to the plate to get a good kick, and I ended up putting a thin piece of cardboard between the pickup and plate; that took some of the "pop" out of it and left the kick. I also put two tamborine jingles on one of the plate screws for some jingle. This thing rocks.
Well done Scott, I've never seen a stomp box that looks so COOL, Sounds great. My daughter came back from Canada "to Belfast N.Ireland" and give me an old 1972 Licence Plate she picked up in a flea market, I nailed it to my yard door. You Know what I'm gonna do with it Scott, YEAH Stomp Swamp Box. Cheers Great video.
dude, put my own version of this stompbox together and played with it for the first time at the Hard Rock Cafe Pittsburgh! It flippin ROCKED. Thank you for the idea brother! I'll have to find a video from last night :D
Sounds great! I was collage student in the US. I took my car's #plate out when I back to Japan in 20 yrs ago and I still have them. I'll try make this.
That is freaking awesome. I've just started experimenting with homemade instruments (just finished my 2nd Diddley Bow), and I can't wait to build a stomp box now. You inspired me! Thanks for the great video. Outstanding jam at the end too.
It all sounds excellent. The guitar sounds great!
Definitely has a nice deep thump. Great stomp box!
Scott I'm sold after watching a few of these stomp box (build) videos love your jam lets go to work now....David
I'm liking the tone of this stomp box. Brand new to me. I tap when I play to keep my meter and just checked out some other vids and thought cool deal in practice but the tone wasn't what I'd imagined to get the thumping. This would be the one I'd make. Foot stomping music.
Just made one. I used some strat pickups that were available and it sounds great. Can't wait to start using it at my fingerstyle shows. Cheers! - Jimi C
Thanks for your efforts on this one.
awesome box !! and awesome jam !!
He melted my face when he played
Very informative..what a great idea.. nice touch with the license plate.. and you jam!
Sounds awesome and love that "Dude Abides" sticker on there dude😎
You know it!
TOTALLY AWESOME, I'm building an acoustic cheap percussion set with piezzos but can't get enought bass out of them, and I have a bass mic laying arround. I will give this a try :D
This is very Ironic. I google how make a stomp box like this and I find its a video by the guy from the 1969's. My Uncle Troy plays Bass in this band. Wow.
A+, thanks for great info and fantastic demonstration
Great tune at the end ,you got that groove ,man!!!Thanks for the generous givings of the how to build a stompbox!!Cheers!
I have a Peavy bass with a bent neck in the closet that I dug out of the neighbor's trash... now I know what to do with it!!! (Although I'm tempted to leave the bass pickups and wiring in the body and just build the box over top of everything!)
Best sounding stomp box I’ve ever seen/heard was the one used by Chris Smithers. He just uses a shallow wood box with an sm58 just stuck inside.
I would LOVE to hear it with the snare drum's snares OFF!
Great box! I love the license plate cover for it, too. You gotta replace it with a 1969 though. Thanks.Oh yeah, awesome guitar and playing, too.
Great vid at last I can make a stomp box with its own life and doesn't sound like a duck farting . Cheers from the Highlands Scotland
Nice sound!
Thanks for posting this. Sounds good. It would have be nice if you gave a little more detail about how it's built including what pickups and pots you chose and how it's wired, etc. Also, I take it you and your father aren't woodworkers because using 2x4"s is not only overkill but it's pretty crude. No need for such heavy lumber and the joinery is - well - pretty rough. With a little more effort an much better box could have been made.
I think I like this method better than the Piezo pickup style.
Awesome demo beat! :D
Awesome! Sadly in the uk our licence plates are plastic ( boo ) love the stomp box and fab playing.
You good. Many thnks.....I am just starting my Band.....( we are only 2 guys )....& dont want to add another guy with us. You play good too
i dont know who you are but that was very nice well done.
I ran out of characters...I was stomping on the plate and it was kind of harsh and not round like a kick drum...I was going to go cut out a wood cover to replace the plate and then I thought...why not just turn the box upside down...put the plate on the floor and stomp on the bottom...HOLY CRAP...it sounds just like a kick drum!!!!! I just need to buy 4 bolt on rubber feet and attach them to the plate on the bottom.....Try this you will not be dissappointed! Looks like we have a GREAT Design
Nice! Been looking for a diy stompbox recipe which will utilize some of the old pickups I have lying around. Most call for a piezo, but I kept wondering if a sheet of tin would replace the strings and make a magnetic pickup feasible.
In Australia, you have to hand your number plates in when you take them off the car - but great little concept!
cool I want and Im gonna make one....thanks for the instructions...I dig your playing :)
Is there a way you could upload a video showing how you put all the electronic parts together and put them in the side??
Amateur question of the day: Do you run the guitar, the mic and the stomp box all into the same amp? If not, how do you split it up?
It looks awesome and the sound is great as well. I was wondering, do you ever make these boxes and sell them on Ebay or something? I really like this type and sound, and I really don't have the tools nor the skill to create such a box myself. Please let me know, I am really interested in this particular kind of stomp box.
+Rick Bastiaanssen Hey Rick! I thought the same, so i learned to build them myself. I have made one out of solid oak wood, bass pickups, original 70's and 60's license plates and thin oiled finish. Reply if you are interested i can build one for you with just the sound as this vid. Cheers!
Jeroen Brandsma Hoi Jeroen, Nederlands volstaat lijkt me? Ik ben zeker geïnteresseerd, zelf maken lijkt vrij eenvoudig maar ik het het gereedschap niet. En op internet tref ik alleen ontzettend dure boxes aan. Ik ben zeker geïnteresseerd in je verhaal!
Ik neem aan dat je met de dure op internet de Bronco Box bedoeld? Deze heb ik ook gezien, maar het verschil met die ik bouw, is dat die van mij hoger is. Ik bouw ze dezelfde hoogte als op de video, omdat als je met je rechter been zou stompen, je gitaar op de goede hoogte zit (op je rechterbeen) en je hierdoor geen pijn krijgt in je schenen na 5 minuten stampen. Ik maak de boxen van vrij kostbaar materiaal en het kost me aardig wat werk om ze in elkaar te zetten, maar ze zijn van zeer goede kwaliteit! Even mailen? j.brandsma07@gmail.com. Ik hoor graag van je!
Hey. Is the wooden piece under the pickup secured to the plywood below?
Also are the pickups secured to the wood beneath them? or do they just flop around? and the pickups are face down? why are they taped up? also where did you get that little handle for your box? i can't find one anywhere. sorry for all the questions, i'm making 4 at the moment (assembly line style) and i want to avoid big screwups. thanks
How do you ground this ??? I did not see a ground wire or any metal to ground it too ? sounds great .....Greg
Frickin awsome.
Well. It's basically a bass pickup wiring. No you only need one but I get different tones from two pickups. And yes. They are screwed to the block.
So I do some busking on the streets of Portland, Maine and I was wondering if something like this could work without bothering with the pick-ups. Maybe using thinner wood to have a more open inside and a hole in the back of the box to let it resinate more, but do you think that would sound alright at all without the tone adjustments and everything?
Well, I didn't expect to see that.... Who doesn't have a couple of pickups lying around.... So, what is the clearance between the pole pieces and the license plate.....?
Can you tell us how how to wire the pots and the pick-ups (exactly what wire to what wire)... all the diagrams online seem to be different and complicated. Where did you ground it? Thanks in advance
Hi, very very cool! I just don't understand were are the pickups screw? Not on the metal plate?
thx =)
Nice looking project Scott, great idea to use bass pickups! I wondered, is it necessary to have all that height in the box? Could you make a slimmed down version and achieve the same sound you think?
do you have any direct in recordings of this? the live version is kind of wetter because of the snare on the drum kit behind you.
I made a blues ball for dirty times / its great fun /
I've got an acoustic guitar pickup lying around here. Could that work as well? It looks like a cool gadget, esp. for solo performances, but I'm low on fund, so I'm looking for a way to have to buy as little new stuff as possible...
I have a question if you don't mind. Do you plug this into the same amp your guitar is plugged into? through or bypassing the pedal board?
So I loved this box and I am currently building this off you're designs, but I have a couple questions. First, how far from the license plate did you mount the bass pickup? And my other question was did you ground it to anything?
@TheRisingHedons You ever hear from him? I plan on making one of these myself soon and just want to be prepared.
Hi! Does anybody knows the guitar model? Thanks!
hi there I really dig your slide stomp action at the end! what tuning is that? is that a kay? so nice!
Excellent, I´m doing one, thanks a lot!! a question: the distance between the pickups and the plate?? like bass string height?
Could you please post the wiring setup for the stomp box. I can't find anything on it really. It would be really apreciated. Thanks again
Dillon Johnson Just treat it like any wiring scheme for a bass pickup.
+Dillon Johnson DId you manage to get any info on wiring Dillon?
DD Allen i would like a wiring scheme too. read a giy online recommended a 250k pot and a pair of .047 caps but i NEVER attempted anything like this so wouldnt know where too start.
Is that all just the box or is that the snare drum from that drum kit in the background reacting too? Sounds very snarey. Either way it sounds fantastic.
Idk if this has been said but.. A lot of the time new license plates, at least in nebraska, are made of aluminum, which is not magnetic, thus sounds produced from an aluminum license plate are unable to be picked up by a magnetic pickup
So just to clarify, you don't really need two pickups, one would do right? In the video the pickups are just dangling, you later screwed them to your mounting board facing up at the licence plate correct?
Awesome. Want to build one of these puppies, but getting confused on the measurements....6x12 bottom board, with 6" 2x4 on the ends, and you say 9" 2x4 on the sides? Wouldn't that make the length total 13" ?(9" length + 2" x 2 from the width of the 2x4's on the ends) Sorry for makin' this sound completely stupid......PS great tunes on yer band website! Now have a fan in Canuckland!
U know the pickup is one pick. It's a P-Bass Pickup. It has 2 parts. I guess you could argue that it's two pickups but It's one. :}
Looks cool but like a lot of work to build, have you tried the new electric foot drum stomp box from salgo with more than 300 cool sounds ?
does the position of the pickups inside the box change the sound much? In the middle vs near the end?
Lov It
come for the burst box , stay for the theory .
what kind of guitar is that?
Hey, so I went ahead and bought all the fixins for this and wired the bass pickups according to the diagram that came with them. when i plugged this baby in it just buzz, buzz, buzzed and didnt get much sound. Any idea what that might be?
Hey awesome box! im looking to make one very similar to this. I have a sheet of steel thats probably a little thicker than that license plate. do you think that would work and resonate nicely using bass pickups like yours? Thank you
thanks heaps!
Hey, awesome tune...it would´ve been great if you recorded the box itself, to get a clue how it sounds solo - but really nice playin :-)
Love the way all these guys build these things, then CRANK up the Twang-caster where you cant hear them. The year 2022 and FEW have bothered to learn, dynamics, tone, and or mix.
too fucking cool. subbed. :)
I'm desperate to make one of these...really can't figure out how to wire it all
Boo :(
DD Allen If you go on Seymour Duncan's website you can find wiring diagrams for a single pickup single volume and single tone knob bass guitar and you can follow that. The only difference is you have to ground it to the plate.
what kind of saw do you use to cut the 2 3/4 by 3 3/16 by 2 1/4 high piece? also how does the thing get power?
From the 9v battery. But you could also wire in an AC jack to the side & use either a separate adapter or what ever powers your pedalboard. Just make sure you reverse the polarity if you're using something like VoodooLabs pedalpower.
This box does not require any power. It works just like an electric guitar except, instead of strings, the vibrations from the metal license plate change the pickup's magnetic flux which induces a voltage in the coil. The PU's output is plugged into an amp via a guitar cable. To experiment, take any metal sheet that a magnet sticks to and hold it close to an electric guitar PU. Plug into an amp, turn up the volume, and tap the sheet. A cheaper solution is stated below. A $2 piezo disc reacts to vibration and no metal plate is required. google piezo stompbox.
Sounds great! What tuning is on that guitar?
I've got a shitty ukulele back in the states that I bought before I knew what a shitty ukulele looked like, it has six strings, but not with paired sets like a 6 strong Uke is supposed to have, the scale is off and the body is too big, basically it's a failed attempt at a miniature acoustic guitar that failed, I bought it at a fair or something. So what I'm thinking is that I'll take the neck off and the top and put the wiring inside and the replace the top with a license plate place cut to size, any thought?
I need serious help with the wiring... I have the box and everything set up, but now I'm completely stuck. 😞
+Angelica May I help you?
great playing scott.
What Tuning did you use?
Anyone! Please tell me the name and a model of plastic stompbox, which appears at 1:15! Sometimes I need exactly what he said about - "more like an electronic kick", but search query "fender stompbox" does not answer
What kind of bass pickup are you using?
Ciao. Is there any way to buy it???? Thanks
Video starts at 3:10 if you want to make this stompbox (link added)
