Dwarfcraft/Fuzzrocious Collab

[zeravla]

That thing cops some straight up Vangelis tones around 4-5 mins into the Dwarfcraft demo. Somebody get one and play Chariots of Fire on it.

[Chankgeez]

Why don't we all get one and play "Chariots of Fire" together?

I wants but am broke at the moment. LOL

[Ugly Nora]

Cool, but my god is it noisy.

... just get a noise gate?

All that does is validate to the builder that it is ok to be lazy and put out a sub-par product. It is like giving a crappy performance because you know things can be fixed in post production. As a general rule we should be correcting root causes of issues, not simply addressing the symptoms that arise from the root problem.

am I the only one that doesn't think it's so noisy? I had a wiz and it was definitely up there, but I thought they fixed it?
sounds fucking cool tho! more collabs plz and more info on happiness plz

I couldn't agree more, Ugly Nora. As much as I respect DC, when I voiced my complain on the noise of the WoZ and got this as a reply, to me, that just means that you need to rework the pedal or implement a noise gate/suppressor.

It isn't the boost that is causing the hissing noise in this circuit. It has to do with the chip that we use and how it interacts with the rest of the circuit. It isn't that we love the background noise here, or think it adds tremendously to the sound, but it is what it is. Nothing we can do about it unfortunately, without changing the fundamentals of the pedal.

Btw: isn't the glitch stomp really a freeze stomp? Reminds me of the granular ring mod discussion we had a while back.

In the end though, the pedal sounds really good despite the noise from the WoZ. I really like it when companies word together to create something special, and this sounds very unique.

I can deal with some noise. Every Dwarfcraft I've had has had some level of noise, which I always thought added to the overall character. I certainly wouldn't call their designs lazy or anything like that. Sometimes it's not as easy to fix things as you'd think. So props to you homies on this pedal! I'll buy one as soon as I can!

I'm just trying to cultivate a go-to reply to everything UC says about a pedal here. keep me out of your politics.

It's not like I don't own noisy pedals, but some pedals don't suit being noisy. A rythmic pitch shifter being one of them.

I think it's fine with most dirt pedals honestly.

Also, I corrected your spelling...

Wut? I'm confused

[Teej212]

Glitch vs freeze debate is kind of silly. It's not like those are overly technical terms with precise definitions

[PeteeBee]

WoP noise was kind of cool by itself, but with other stuff in the equation also adding noise it often turned into too much. I still miss mine pretty regularly. This thing looks really cool and I agree with Jweezy, more collabs is more better.

No politics intended, sorry if you got that from my post. What I am saying is that is always better to address things as close to the root of the problem as possible instead of fixing the issues that arise from the problem because that is a never ending cycle. For example, take a common cold. We've all gotten them, and most of us have probably taken medicine like NyQuil or Robotussin to deal with the symptoms of the problem. The problem with these medicines is that while it relieves your symptoms, it doesn't actually fix the problem of why you got the cold, or make the cold go away any quicker. Wouldn't it be nice to actually find something that prevents you from getting the cold in the first place? The Dwarfcraft pedal is like a bad cold.
