This video is about how I designed and made my own custom mute guitar pedal for my clip-on mic and piezo pickup on my violin (fiddle). The mic is an AT Pro35 phantom powered XLR condensor microphone, and the pickup is a Fishman V200 piezoelectric transducer. I got all of the parts from PartsExpress.

Thanks to my band (youtube.com/channel/UCEKRoVVSZ... Caleb, Pete, Paul and Troy, and to Hannah for filming.
