Acid Splash Designs AONYS Fuzz Optimized for Bass UPDATE!!!

[JonnyAngle]

I loved this idea and now it will be implemented. There is no clean circuit. ONLY DIRTY!!!!!

So now it will be a semi-dirty blend!

Clean blend is for pussies

Hahahahaha. I tend to agree but they can be very tasteful if done right. The blending circuit in this guy is something special. Trust me.

SO yes I have updates!! haha

Roy has redone the schematic and layout and now we are going to send it off for a prototype. So I have 50 cases to start out and then I'll be either ordering more or looking at a custom case.

I initially wanted a custom case regardless, but for ease of things and for time, I'm going to use a 1790ns to start out. I didn't want to hold things back even further and this will allow me to find a good distributor/fabricator for cases as it's a fucking pain in the ass in the Kansas City area.

SO! It ought to be pretty smooth sailing from this point out. Of course fingers crossed. I ought to have the proto on hand in a month and a demo up as soon as it lands. After I make 100% sure I'm satisfied, I'll order pcbs, components...etc. and then we go live!

SO here's what the revised circuit looks like for those that are interested.

Will say Aonys as well

[Joe Gress]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Hopefully someone buys my Ab-synth off me soon.

[Inconuucl]

I have money set for this.

[untilshewokeme]

But the real question is, will there be an app on the apple watch for the AONYS...

[Jwar]

NO app!! LOL!!! That would be fucking hilarious though! Maybe I'll have my programmer buddy make one just for fun.

Ok so as it stands, I'm looking into T-shirts for each person that orders out of the first 20. This is included. NO charge. I know right??? Aren't I cool??? LOL

Also, Aonys is getting it's second prototype made as I type this (well not literally) but it was sent off again! YES!!! I got knobs in the mail, enclosures, and am order all the other fun stuff.

The ONLY thing that will hold this up now is pcb production. Since I'm only ordering 100 they may not prioritize it like I want. I'm looking into just having 500 made. But then if it doesn't sell...ok I'm not thinking like that. LOL

So here's an updated, loaded pcb mock up.





This is going to be a great pedal and I appreciate everyone sticking with me through this! Regardless of if you order, I love you! I'm confident this is going to be amazing!

So up next after that I have a few things brewing. hah.

A phaser or flanger with different wave forms and multiple stages and a guitar specific Bee Baa fuzz. I didn't want to get rid of the Bee Baa idea. So that will be next after this.

If this goes well enough, I will also be producing a guitar version of this. Assuming the preamp is too strong for guitar as is. It will be tested obviously.

Updates later!! Including painted enclosures!!!!

[Chankgeez]

That screen shot should be the new Acid Splash t-shirt design.

[Wes Mantooth]

Well I've been away since I've been trying to avoid GAS (and it worked but it was sad) but I'm still so excited for this, can't wait to hear the prototype!

[goroth]

Welcome back - to ilf and to gas!

[nshuman]

I've spent so much money on pedals in the last month that I may as well be in the first 20. I mean, I already have like 20 pedals that can't fit on my boards, what's one more?

[Jwar]

It's a big ass fuzz, I'll tell you that much! Roy (Greenhouse) is a convention in Germany currently. When he gets back, my proto should be there waiting. He ordered it before he left. It should be working exactly like we want this time. God I hope so. LOL

So after we do a bunch of these, I'm going to look at the custom enclosure route. I just don't have the resources to do it right now unfortunately. I really wish I could. It sucks. BUT these will be fucking killer! Slam you in the sack killer!!

As soon as it hits my door and I'm confident that I love it, it's on it's way to Excane for demos. While he's doing that, parts, pcbs and such will be on the way to me and I'll be busting my ass to get these out!

I'm also planning on a T-shirt for the first 20 folks. This is INCLUDED with your purchase! YES!

I love you guys. Thanks for sticking with me. I really hope this turns out to be a super useful pedal you guys will love.

[MSUsousaphone]

Woot!

[Seizurema]

[Jwar]

I know! I just asked. Boards are on the way for the proto. It was part of a larger order, so it's taking longer. So next two weeks will be exciting times!

[Jwar]

Does anyone still think they'd be interested in this? I've been thinking about re-approaching the idea but changing certain aspects. It's something I'd be doing if I get enough interest kind of deal.

If I do in fact do this, it will not be a muff. I don't know what I was thinking but I'll be going back to a bee ba or a brassmaster.
