Macdaddy MDQ2 "Quokka" Mini Stomp Box in Natural Finish

The Macdaddy MDQ2 "Quokka" Mini Stomp Box in Natural Finish is the baby of the range but don’t be fooled by the size, this little monster packs a wallop. With a deep booming bottom end and a beautiful natural timber ambience, this is the perfect stomp box for the traveling musician who is limited by space, or for those who just prefer the compact size. This unit is just 11 x 8 x 3cm and will fit in most guitar cases. Each Macdaddy Stomp Box is unique, and hand-made right here in Australia.

There are many things to love about camphor laurel. Firstly its aesthetics - a beautifully grained timber, boasting enormous colour variations. No two pieces are alike – and when you’re making hand crafted musical instruments, that’s a really good thing. Stompboxes are primarily the realm of acoustic guitarists (and acoustic guitarists love timber). Secondly, Camphor Laurel has a unique perfume. If you’ve never cut into a piece of camphor laurel, try it – the smell is amazing.

Thirdly and most importantly, Camphor Laurel is a noxious weed in Australia. It has the ability to adapt to a disturbed environment, grows at a prolific rate and has an enormous abundance of seeds. It is mildly toxic if eaten and therefore doesn’t have any natural predators. It is relatively immune to disease. Being a big shady tree it is difficult to remove and tends to create a single species environment because it is so dense. For all of these reasons Camphor Laurel needs to be cut down. The problem is, it’s growing faster than it’s being removed. Finally, Camphor Laurel has a tight grain yet is still a fairly soft timber, which produces excellent acoustic properties, making it ideal for Stompbox manufacturing. All of these factors make Camphor Laurel the perfect timber for MacDaddy's purposes.
