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!
