Hi members,

Hope your well, Dan here from Australia.
I am wanting some direction on where I can source 3 wider pedals then I currently have on this what I understand to be a restored ZB with possibly some fabricated parts.
It’s plays well and sounds good to my ears, however the pedals are too narrow for my larger feet. I’ve been told I need waffle style pedals but couldn’t imagine I will find those in my country.

Nice looking ZB Dan!
I've never seen pedals like that - is it just a distortion caused by the camera angle, or are they really that long?
There are several versions of ZB pedals, but none are as wide as Sho~Bud "waffle" pedals.
These are kinda the "standard" ZB pedals...

Hi Eric,

Yeah the length is not a big problem just the width. My idea where to find those waffle style pedals for this machine? The ABC pedal just connect to a small axel.

Regards,

Dan

Dan,
You could cut some aluminum bar of the right width, and drill/tap/screw them into the top of those pedals. I've done that with knee levers to make them wider. Just an idea... Idea

You'd be surprised what you can find these days. I bet if you put in a WTB add here you might have luck.

Also, check eBay ad Reverb everyday - might take a while bu tI bet you can get some original pedals.

Nice guitar. I had a ZB - it wasn't set up too well, but it sure sounded great.

I think those pedals are Sho~Bud waffle pedals, just cut down!
