Parallel Universe Fuzz PCB

Post by eatyourguitar »

Image
sold under a license from Collin @ http://www.experimentalistsanonymous.com/

these will be $20 per PCB. I ordered 6 boards today so I will have 5 boards for sale in 3 weeks time. if there is a demand, I will order more and keep them in stock for a while. I have one of these I built a long time ago. it is a very wild and crazy oscillating fuzz. you can get arpeggio sounds from playing one note. like a rolling octave up thing. it also does a nice distortion that reminds of the weezer blue album just a little.

I have an original Parallel Universe and it's one of my favorite pedals. The expression control over gain is just perfect.

OSH park is not cheap. not expensive as far as prototype fabs go but not cheap. the price is the result of an agreement between two people who both think they should be paid for their time and/or property. I sold someone a NAZO PCB for $1 profit. I do what I can, when I can. I was the first one to complain about overpriced fuzz PCB's being sold by other retailers trust me. also, I usually do free shipping.

I wasn't trying to bad mouth anyone, it's just that in my limited experience I've seen different prices is all. At the end of the day, an item is only as expensive as someone is willing to pay for it. so do you man

And I'm willing to pay for it! Sounds like good value to me, seeing as it's endorsed and the real thing is unobtanium. PM'd.

oh and I almost forgot to mention, this thing sounds like a beast of a fuzz. this is the crank it up to 11 and punch your teeth out aggressive fuzz sound. very dirty, very chunky. sometimes gated and sometimes video-gamey. the combination of self oscillation and gated fuzz is an interesting one. the sustain has a dirty synthy fight at the end of the note. responds well to finger-picking too.
