			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Update: new website launched for my pedals:</strong></h2>
<h1><strong><a href="http://ohnoho.com/">http://ohnoho.com/</a><br />
</strong></h1>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Crazy feedback, glitch, self oscillation, infinity delay insanity &#8230; plus some subtle stuff too.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://fourthgradegladiators.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/chkchkboom.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-59" style="margin: 5px;" title="CHK CHK BOOM" src="http://fourthgradegladiators.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/chkchkboom.jpg" alt="CHK CHK BOOM" width="346" height="259" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>The CHK CHK BOOM works by feeding your effects loop input to it&#8217;s output.</p>
<p>The CHK CHK BOOM has a momentary switch so it&#8217;s only on when your foot is on it. This is a good thing because its perfect for short blasts of crazy noise mixed into other melodic content. It&#8217;s also great when you&#8217;re playing through a delay and you want the delay to swell and feedback with out bending down to twist a knob.</p>
<p>Every other feedback pedal out there has a latched switch, which in my opinion, doesn&#8217;t work as well for the kind of sound this pedal produces.<br />
(If you do want a latched switch I can produce a custom one for you. Email for a quote.)</p>
<p><object width="849" height="488" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5238882&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5238882&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;fullscreen=1" /></object><br />
<strong>Construction </strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s no battery or power source to worry about so it won&#8217;t take up a much needed power cord on you pedal board.There are no over-priced, poorly made warts to buy.</p>
<p><strong>Art Design</strong></p>
<p>The CHK CHK BOOM was born from a hand crafted litter of 10 in Brooklyn, NY. Each pedal is hand painted with a unique color combination and hand serial numbered.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got yourself a collectible, Champ.</p>

<strong>Warranty</strong></p>
<p>All pedals come with a lifetime warranty. I&#8217;ll fix or replace them at anytime.</p>
