The Stomper

Call it a stomp box, a porch-board, a 500 Ohm dynamic electric percussion pedal - whatever you like! I call mine "The Stomper"

Hand made in Australia - Approx 145mm x 165mm x 45mm

This is not a guitar pedal. It's a different type of stomp box. It's a wooden block with a dynamic microphone insert pickup inside, so guitarists can add some rhythm to their playing by tapping their feet to produce a booming percussion sound. It's like amplifying the sound of your foot tapping on a wooden stage.

My Stompers are a simple percussion effect along the lines of a small floor tom or wood block, depending on how and where you tap them and what's on your feet. They provide a percussive sound to complement your overall sound, but they're not a substitute for bass drum!

Try tapping different parts of the Stomper to get different effects. I've found some great sounds can be had by boosting the lows and mids and just tapping lightly with your shoes or boots. Tapping around the middle of the Stomper gets a bassier sound. Tapping at the edges or corners gets more of a floor tom or woodblock effect. You don't need to stamp your foot or toe hard to get a nice percussion sound.

Legendary Australian blues guitarist Phil Manning has been using a stomp box for years. His stomp box is a Shure SM58 wrapped in a blanket stuffed into a wooden box. He runs that into his PA so his levels are high and he can really get a some loud sounds from it! My Stompers aren't as loud, but they're cheaper and more convenient.

The body of this Stomper is laminated Hoop pine and the top cap is plywood. This Stomper is approximately 145mm x 165mm x 45mm. Some people who've bought my Stompers use their fingers and palms and hit the Stomper like a bongo drum. Originally designed as a percussion accompaniment to guitarists it seems the Stompers have become a percussion instrument in their own right!

Some comments from users of my Stompers:

"Collected the stomp box today. Plugged it into the SWR bass amp (I mainly play bass) and it sounds great. Also sounds OK in the Marshall AS amp (my partner plays guitar and sings."

"Mate I have used the STOMPER on half a dozen occasions now and it’s a pearler, I run it through the front of house with out a problem. Anyhow just a note of appreciation for you on a job well done."

"Hey Rob. Just letting you know the new stomper is great. The different electrics make a huge difference. Thanks for a great product."

"Got the Little Stomper... Just want to congratulate you on a great little product. Can't wait to ise it at a gig."

I think my eBay feedback shows that people have generally been happy with my products since I started making instruments in February 2004. As always my aim is to build good sounding, playable and affordable instruments and effects for people to enjoy using and enhance their performances.

Please remember that using one of these little boxes at high volume levels can put some extra strain on your speakers... you're really asking the speaker cone to travel all the way in and out each time you give the box a hard tap.

Dimensions of this Stomper are 145mm x 165mm x 45mm.
