Re: Pest Tattern: It's What's Happening
the version you're using isn't the Devi version, it's the radically improved one.
I have both the OGs in this case - I commissioned a fine designer/EE who does boutique snobbery stuff (who gets what I'm doing) to make something far beyond the original.

1) it's awesome has a thousand different sounds and its behaviour changes completely depending on where it's placed.
2) it's really hard to nail same sound twice, wich is equally frustrating and fascinating
3) i don't know why but this pedals unleashes my inner Corgan, so everytime i pickup the guitar i end up playing a SP tune without even relizing it![]()
4) is it just me or the osc switch doesn't do anything except cutting down the volume? maybe it's my setup/pickups![]()
Yeah I've been using it most of the time with the osc switch in the down position and messing with different chaos/bias/noise combinations for extreme square-wave sounds. IT Rips.
Running the oscillations in a ring mod while tuning them slowly turning the volume on the guitar is the next step for interstellar communications.
Still, with the OSC switch in the up position, every other combination is super quiet volume-wise, unless I turn the bias almost entirely down, which results in a nice sort of stuttering lo-gain fuzz.

Re: Pest Tattern: It's What's Happening
the oscillations are extremally sensitive to buffering. especially if the noise switch isnt doing much for you this is probably the cause.01010111 wrote:It’s a lot more versatile than I expected! It’s also quieter than I expected. But that’s a problem I’ve had a lot with fuzz pedals and my guitar. The Chaos and Noise switches are interesting. With how I’ve tried them so far, they’ve had only a minor effect on what’s happening. I’ll keep experimenting, though. This is definitely the best Devi not Devi fuzz I’ve played. It’s weird this wasn’t more popular when they were making this originally.

Re: Pest Tattern: It's What's Happening
I was wondering if it was just mine that was quiet. I've got it dimed in oscillating mode and it's just at unity volume. The other way is quieter.
Anyone else get oscillation bleedthrough when bypassed?

Same here on both of these, I don't really mind the osc bleed through though.

Re: Pest Tattern: It's What's Happening
Yes on the bleed-through.
Would except nothing less from a Devi-based circuit though.

Re: Pest Tattern: It's What's Happening
OG has none to speak of (the Test Pattern from hell) - perhaps that's why he did the input changes that aren't in the ILF version, or selected the parts he did. It lives in a Boss ES-8 switcher though, so...I woudln't hear it anyway.

I do if/when the chaos and/or noise switches are on.oldangelmidnight wrote: Anyone else get oscillation bleedthrough when bypassed?

What does the trim pot on the board do?
What are the noise and chaos switching in the circuit?

Big Muff into low gain Pest Tattern is really HEAVY if paired with the right bias & guitar volume setting. Sludgy sludgeness for days.
On a different aspect, yesterday I had some fun using the PT as only signal source.

Audio is awful and pedals on/off clicks are everywhere.
