here's a lame-ass demo. I'm playing a discarded umbrella into a TV that's on fire.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZO7KIf9eLw

It's a bunch of stuff. A bitcrusher, samplerate reducer, a granular sampler/repeater/glitcher, a harsh digital fuzz and noise source. Controls are as follows (left to right):

top:
bitdepth: bitcrush from 8 to 1 bit. things get noisy and ugly and awesome!
samplerate: rate reduction, atari/nintendo-ish sounds, etc
tone: just a big muff tonestack. middle is neutral. right is high boost, left is low boost.
blend: wet-dry blend
volume: makes the pedal vomit kittens

bottom:
grain size: sample size of the granular sampling buffer.
grain mod: modulates the grain sample up or down in pitch
glitch 1 and glitch 2: makes it stutter in different ways. the toggle switch at the top makes the soft-stomp on the right active one or the other of the buttons.

Sorry, but your pedal has at least one bug :lol:

Seriously, that pedal looks and sounds exquisite. Well done.

My name's Matthew S. and my card says Sculptor, Sound Artist, Writer, and Noise/Drone Musician. You can find some releases for free on my blog via my profile.
Been dabbling in pedals for about a year now (two if you count the year my first pedal spent sitting in a box, not working solely because of a miswired 3pdt). Muff pcb from GGG, ds-1 is all the mods i could find online on a rotary switch plus the deviever mod, oscillator is a 40106, gristleizer is from gaussmarkov with a ggg chargepump but isnt working right yet (probably a dead tranny, which sounds like a phrase from a Spillane novel). The tape machine is courtesy of the amazing casper: http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/barbie-karaoke/blackandwhite.jpg
I'm working on a new and improved (multiple) tape machine now.

@Nychthemeron: THANKS!
@cloudscapes: i really love your work and have been checking your blog periodically and oogling your pedals for awhile now. if i had the cash, you'd have most of it. thanks for the props.

no more people posting DIY unless they're going into production.
