It's really simple, but fun! Start with a classic octave circuit, modded for extra dirtiness and weirdness...Sustain (all the way down to a funky gate), Hi-Freq. and Bias controls (adjusts the subtle texture, reduces octave, increases openness, or goes to crap out weird fuzz...and where it really shines is running into another fuzz. The independently footswitchable bypass loop makes it extra easy to stack seamlessly.

Add an octave up, three controls, plus a little drive and dirt, to any other pedal.

It's not exactly a flagship offering, and I'm not sure if it's limited run or not. But I wanted one for myself, and then decided to build some more. It's a blast to play it with other pedals, and is really optimized for that.

Oh my. Gotta say this sounds real real good. That tone you get at 7:45, MLC. The enclosure kills, as usual, Tom! And just when I thought maybe I couldn't live without a Phantom Arcade... Decisions, decisions.

Oh yes! :cool: It's been in the works for months now, and amazingly I kept it under wraps. Here's the Junior version:

Limited run...couldn't resist making a few tiny ones!
Pick the two controls you want: Hi-Freq and Sustain OR Bias and Sustain. (Bassists and more adventurist guitarists will want the one without the Hi-Freq Trim).

Thanks guys! Also, the final Upper graphic is slightly different than the one above. The one I posted is the final proto (where Darren's is proto #1).
Here's the final graphic:
