A stomp-box is a percussion instrument often used by guitar / vocalists who require some percussion to compliment their performances. Most designs place a pickup in an immobile wooden block, activated by stomping on it with your toes or the ball of your foot.
The Buzzards Field pivoting design is different to other stomp-box designs, and solves a major problem:
Our design allows you to play by 'stomping' with your heel, whilst resting your foot on the pedal itself. It provides a fatigue-free experience, unlike other designs which cause a rapid build up of uncomfortable, cramping lactic acid.
Advantages of the Buzzards Field design:
Intuitive, cramp-free beat setting through your heel.
Loud, clear 'bang' effect from the heel action.
Traditional ball-of-the-foot playing creates a 'thump' sound.
Unusually, this instrument can be played acoustically, with plenty of volume to play without plugging in.
Passive on-board piezo pickup means no batteries required.
Placing material such as leather, cardboard, foam, cork etc produces significantly different heel-tones to suit your style.
Large footprint provides stability and resists sliding.
Can be played facing in opposite direction - providing a comfortable pivoting toe-action instead.
Laminate construction keeps production cost down - saving you money.
Standard instrument jack output.
Laminate construction, polyurethane varnish and steel hinge for durability.
Laser etched graphics - customisable on request (email buzzardsfieldukuleles@outlook.com with details).
Note: Video recorded with an echo effect applied.
Please be aware that each stomp box will operate identically, but appearance will differ slightly as a result of individual pieces of wood.
