Stomp box shoe
I have an old pair of Crocs with a hole in the sole and instead of throwing them away, I give them a second life as a cool pair of Stomp Box Shoes.
A stomp box is a box that you stomp! and makes a drum beat when playing an instrument like a guitar.
I adapted my Crocs by making a very simple electronic circuit by using two Piezo discs and a female guitar jack.
Solder them together.
Drill a hole into the side of one of the shoes and insert the jack.
Let the Piezos poke out of the base of the shoe and hot glue them to the bottom.
Plug into the guitar amp and stomp away!
This was my first time playing a stomp box so maybe I need some practice! The Stomp shoe worked well with my Fender modelling amp giving some interesting effects to the beat.
Super simple and so effective.
With thanks to Jingle Punks for their funky Majikk music.
I played my own tunes!
'Its a Rubbish Challenge' is a challenge that I set myself to give the things that we throw away a new life, to make them useful or adapt them to save buying in new 'stuff'.
I aim to upload a new video every few weeks and undoubtedly they will all be different. Some of the rubbish will be adapted with electronics, some are instruments and others are just simple.
I aim to make them all interesting and I hope they may inspire you to give it a go, take a look at your rubbish bin and make yourself something great from it.
