Hey just wanted to tell you I think your idea for the stomp boot is extraordinary! Imagine creating a slip-on to go outside your boot so that you didn't need to alter your actual wearable shoe, and with this slip on you would have Velcro straps to tighten and loosen it to your boot, a wireless transmitter, and the pick up would be embedded into the slip on, making a versatile, easy to use, stomp boot. Market that and you'll have a toy for the holidays.
That has got to be one of the most innovative DIY jobs i've ever seen!! Nice one! :) One question tho: is the piezo pickup very fragile or durable? cos i'd imagine all the stomping would have an effect (or not XD).
Hey thats a great idea thanks, got to try this, the next prototype would be to glue the piezos, or even tiny old speakers into the heels of the boots, and then use radio mics. I saw one guy once with an crushed old coke can tied to his foot using a bicycle inner tube -different sound though.
You could go with a thicker soled boot, Dremel out a recess for the pickup then run the wire straight back through the tread. Drill out a hole through the heel and mount the jack right in there. Sounds great.
@soadthedude a good method to have a consistent sound could be to just make a portable floor for stomping. like a small piece of wood with some rubber on it
You genius!! Ive been researching D.I.Y stompboxes and this seems the easiest yet brilliant ways so far!! Im a lead singer in my band Thomson oldeman and sometimes our drummer is working when we play gigs so this for me will work great as i always stomp my feet to the beat :) Do you mind if i use this? x
That is such an amazing idea! I've got a new cigar box (license plate style) guitar coming tomorrow and been looking for a stomp box and then how to make one. Came across your video and damn it sounds the best through an amp by far. My old cigar box guitar has some kind of pickup in it, the whole thing was only £20 from the works, so I was thinking of breaking that open for a stomp box build. This video sounds like a good idea, but I'd assume you have wooden floor there, so it may sound a lot different on concrete. Still, love the video and idea, so thank you very much :)
just like to point out that they did not take pencil into space. The led can break and go into your eyes, mouth or nose for example.. it can be dangerous. but this is a cool idea
And they wouldn't want graphite dust floating around with all that electronic kit. But there was no need to research a special pen that would work in zero grav because a normal biro works perfectly well, in fact even better, than on earth. With no gravity to overcome the capillary action a biro will happily work at any angle in space. Dontcha love these urban myths.
Hi, My name is Eugene I'm the founder of Stompai. Stompai allows you to use your phone as a double kick percussion instrument. Our app detects a movement of your foot and will play two different sounds, fully customizable for toes or heel movement. We have a variety of sounds for you to choose from. All you need is our app and a foot mount. Pick your sounds, place your phone on the mount and get it adjusted on your foot and you are ready to rock! ruclips.net/video/leuWzjxxOtI/видео.html What do you guys think?
I've listened to 100 stomp boxes tonight and with the exception of Sea Sick Steve yours smokes all of them a nice dull thud good job you rock T.
Hell of a compliment! Thanks:)
Sounds great and I like the absence of any kind of box to have to create to make that great thump sound. Very cool!
Boot stompin good, I like it , exalent brother, good job, nope it ain't ridiculous, it's awesome
What an absolutely brilliant idea!!

Fabulous idea, reckon your onto something there,
Thanks a lot. So far it's fine . I've used it during gigs and in studio and it still sounds as it did here on day one :)
Sounds as good as anything else! very cool!! I wonder if they have a stomp-loafer?
Mate Ur bloody genius. Cheers 4 this.
Looks and sounds cool, have you seen the new foot stomp, with 300 sounds from SALGO foot drum plus ?
can i use any old pickup..like a guitar pickup? really great idea btw!
Thanks. 2:33 is part of a song I was writing at the time. The stomp seemed well suited to it.
That has got to be one of the most innovative DIY jobs i've ever seen!! Nice one! :)
One question tho: is the piezo pickup very fragile or durable? cos i'd imagine all the stomping would have an effect (or not XD).
This is exactly what I'm looking for!!
Do you have them in a size 10 brown?
I am seriously considering this....brilliant!
Make sure you bring an extra pair of shoes ,Just in case your invited for a beer lol. Cool idea ! Sounds great too to boot lol.
what kind of pickup is it? is this a guitar pickup? could you point me in the direction of where i can buy one? thank you very good idea

Love it. Have to make a booth for my self.
I'd love to see you work in a heel/toe addition, where the heel is a 'kick' and the toe is a tap or something to act as a snare. Nice idea!

I love the guitar riff!!
very nice!!
whats that first song.. ? (at 2:33) did you improvise it ?
What kind of piezo pickup did you use? One for acoustic guitar or?
great idea!! Thanks for the tip.
Totally brilliant.
Thanks! Using it in a studio at the moment. Engineer rolled his eyes first but then he heard it ;)
Cool idea!
The boot is cool but that little guitar number was just awesome!

Hope it goes well for you man. Cheers:)
Awesome will try it
cool man!! really cool
That sounds surprisingly good. :)
hey. is it a piezo pickup?
thats amazing
thanks man, a great idea.
genius mate!
Genius!. Lo tec, Lo Cost.Real Bass Sound.
Awesome!!
Sounds Great man! Nice EKO in the corner there too ;)
Nicely spotted. My Dad's!
I use my fathers one too, great guitars! Ive got a 12 string also!
check my channel to see them ;)
Brilliant
just like to point out that they did not take pencil into space. The led can break and go into your eyes, mouth or nose for example.. it can be dangerous. but this is a cool idea
Does it matter what kind of pickup you use?
No, Just a standard piezo used for this. Hope it works out well for you!
Thank you for your help cant wait to make one!!
How many times have you walked off stage and forgotten to unhook your stomp boot first? :-)
And pulled down a huge wall of MArshall amps!! Hahahaha!!
SWEET
hell yeah!
Your a champ
since when is appearing faintly ridiculous a bad thing?
Genius! :D
haha cool idea,, just don't forget to unplug when getting off the stage:)
Cool lol 👍
Attach this to the Xvive u2 and your a free man!!! Woo hoo!!!

the 'angriest guitar player' a.k.a. 'Tree man' could use this
you could add connections for your toes as well,
he he
great idea! it's like the Russians solving the NASA's pen-problem in space. Take a pencil instead!!!
a good idea. but in the summer? your foot will burn for the heat
+1 For the accent, Boyo
Going to buy me some boots;)
I am making a shoe tomorrow, drummers don't like to move drums for free.
