Mystery pedal on Amazon

Well-known member
For reasons I don't fully understand, I sometimes browse through pedals on Amazon.

I just ran into this, and... I'm not entirely sure what this is. Autowah with ... fuzzy 'underwater spaceship' sound?

Yeah, it's a funny cat. I've built that exact kit before.


That was my immediate guess. Funny Cat.

The picture of the pedal in the OP looks an awful lot like the 3PDT.com Funny Cat sample-build pic.

I was going to buy the Funny Cat, an Electric Mistress, a G Decimator, a theremin thingy and a few other PCBs from them, but they went on vacation... "We are on vacation untill July 2020!"

They're still on vacation.

Yet they continue to sell parts on Amazon. They're HQ is here in HK, IIRC, I should drop in and say "Lei Hao Ma"...

PS: Ahhh just went on Amazon ... yup. Long time ago they had a few of just the PCBs left on Amazon, but I had no pedal money at the time.
