WHOA! Awesome. I'm going to check it out after work!! Thank you!!!

[skullservant]

Just got a chance to listen in. Really awesome demo, you really showcased a lot of sounds out of it which is awesome. I really appreciate you taking the time to document it!

Prototype of final tweaked Gloom Drive production circuit. I think I might make these badges for all of the circuits in this size enclosure:


First batch of mini-Gloom Drives.


This one is off to chutneyfarmer!

I dig that badge a lot

[skullservant]

Thanks buddy

I was thinking about etching some badges and then I was like WAIT IT COULD BE SO MUCH SIMPLER

is the middle green one mine?!

[skullservant]

yeah dude!

Also here is something I whipped up last night. Was going to be a Meathead into a SHO, but I was running on a few hours sleep and changed my mind- It's now a double Gloom Drive with feedback knob and feedback switch into a SHO.

Shaggy fuzz with the feedback off, 8 bit pseudo tremolo throbbies with the feedback low, and really synth gated with the feedback high!

It's final state before being shipped to PumpkinPieces. Added starve and pregain!

I will be making the next batch of Gloom Drives next week, as well as a BigCartel store so you can buy them via a cart and Paypal. I will also have some on-demand ordering for Gloom Drives with extra options (larger enclosure, external pregain switch, custom color, etc etc) to streamline things and keep me organized.

HEY THERE'S AN EXTRA KNOB AND FLIPPY SWITCH IN THE PICTURE! I am going to have too much fuzzy fun.

[skullservant]

I noticed that the power starve takes the gain down a little bit, and cuts the transistor noise when not in feedback mode. Excited to see what you do with it man!

my gloom drive came.
its the tits.
my favorite fuzz ive played through so far. exactly what i wanted. muffy, but not too boomy or bassy.
gloom drive + RRR sounds HUGE
chords are really thick and meaty, good shoegaze tones
really like the trashy fuzz i get when i put the GD in front of my sonic titan. got to try it the other way around later.
cannot wait to try this through my new cab and head once the cab arrives.
