An Artist Transformed an Original PlayStation into a Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal

Thiago Ferri has created a piece of art. He took an original PlayStation console and has turned it into a multi-effects pedal. Ferri has redone the innards of the classic video game console and thrown in four classic pedals including a modified Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808, a modified ProCo RAT, a Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay, and the Electro-Harmonix LPB-1. With the attached metal handle, taking the PedalStation 1 (his name for this thing of beauty) to practice is easy.

To make matters even better, this isn’t his first gaming/pedal creation. He has previously created a pedal from an old school Game Boy and another out of a Nintendo 64 controller. These are very awesome and creative. I would love to have one of these for my collection of pedals. You can find Ferri over on Instagram and Facebook.

#PedalStation 🇺🇸: And it is finally ready! This is a project that I have been thinking about for over 4 years, but only now it has been materialized 👽 Another one for the video game pedals team, along with the GameBoy pedal and the Nintendo 64 pedal (that you can check here in the photos). As I really like video games and building pedals, I had the idea of mounting an “analog multi-effect” inside the shell of a PlayStation Fat, containing the main effects that I use when I'm going to rehearse. I thought about the combination of a drive, a distortion, a booster and a delay; the choices were: - Ibanez TubeScreamer 808 with clipping mod, offering 3 distinct tones (silicon / bypass / red LEDs); - ProCo RAT also with clipping mod (silicon / bypass / red LEDs); - Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay; - Electro Harmonix LPB-1. I spent the weekend testing and it was exactly as I expected. The combination TS + RAT is incredible and you can take a huge range of tones with these two, ranging from light saturation to high gain. Deep Blue is a clean and direct to the point delay that opens the door to creativity. I modded it to increase the maximum volume of repetitions. The LPB-1 worked very well with the TS and the RAT and is great for giving that highlight at the time of solos. PedalStation 1 is TrueBypass and features an internal 9V source + a P4 output to power other pedals. I also placed a metal handle on the back of the housing for easy transportation. Everything 100% handmade… the internal modification of the housing, the drilling, the making of the circuits of the pedals and the wiring of the project. Anyway, I was very happy with the result and took several pictures of the construction. Check it out! Hope you like it ☺️ So, what you think?
