short PWM fuzz run

well, there's a lot of ruckus with the internal modulation, but it's nice to have the option for different stuff.

No doubt. Options rule. I am just giddy thinking about all the possibilties...

what does everyone think about this layout? jacks would be on the long side where the knobs are.

so i came home from a shitty day at work to find this little update. long story short, my day is no longer shitty. SO SICK.

layout =

I can't wait to hear clips of this shiiiiiiiiiiit.

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

i hope they don't disappoint!

I'd speak for one right away if I'm not saving up for the fuck overdrive... both sound awesome in that demo

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

there you have it.
*as noted in the video description, the slowest speed will be significantly slower than in the video. i didn't feel like taking the time to shield the photo resistors...

BONER.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! i have nothing but excitement for this. i seriously can't wait to destroy things with it .

GIMMENAO!!!!

SOCK IT TO ME

what kind of random are you using? I would assume its the obvious triangle with a sample and hold? I like the idea of pedals that sound organic living breathing fuzz.

here is an idea/request but it seems a little late to change it now. Modulate the PWM with the volume and/or transients of the incoming signal. orrrrrrrr I have to get an envelope follower in modular format and plug the CV to your pedal. if you do a second run, put an envelope follower and call it the deluxe.

the random is not "true" random, but pseudo-random. i'm using an array of 5 squarewaves: 3 are set to very close, but separate frequencies, the other 2 are set a bit slower. all of them are controlled via LED/LDR using one speed pot. the incoming signal idea is something i'm already using in my overdrive, so i wanted to have something different. lots of pedals out there use sine/triangle/square LFOs, but not many have random functions... also this particular effect sounds tastier with a choppier randomness, as opposed to if it were gliding around.

more updates!

though the modulation section was a huge pain in the ass to lay out, i got a circuit board more or less done.
i don't know if i noted this earlier, but i'm extending the run to 10 pedals. 7 are spoken for so far and hopefully no one will bail last minute, but if they do no worries, things come up - i'll just have to run them all into each other and collapse the space/time continuum.

i think the name of the pedal will be the blargg-o-tron-o-tron and i'm working on some simple, but bad ass designs for the finish.

AWESOMESAUCE! So fucking stoked for this!

Oh god you better do another run of these when I have money!!!
