If I recall correctly, there was a struggle naming them because of how much they changed things and how interactive they were. And the multiply switch just took things to another level.

For what it's worth, I can't remember being this giddy after trying out a fuzz before. Hope I can get my hands on one!

Thought you were talking about making a clone for a second, then realized you were talking about clips. Was like damn dude, harsh! :lol:

You're not wrong - the original Peter Baxandall circuit was just high and low shelving. The brilliant part was that it could do boost and cut on the same pot with no switches because it used the balancing nature of feedback paths. I added a peaking mid band (not the first person to do so though), so you get low shelf, peaking mid band, and high shelf, all of which are boost/cut by 15dB.

It was important to both me and the El Diablo shop owner to make this "affordable," or at least, not take advantage or anyone.

Haha, yup, the names for those knobs took a while to come up with. I'm pretty happy with where they landed. I hope you can get one too. I can't wait to hear what you do with this crazy device.

I am going to be on that release date like honey on biscuits.

This pedal was pretty rad as a prototype. Hmmm.

Give you 50 bucks for the prototype. :animal: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I accidentally set the prototype on fire, so it's all melty (long story).

Haha, well, the prototype didn't have any protection diodes for power polarity (because it was just a prototype), and it also had some particularly flammable double-sided sticky foam holding the board in (again, prototype...the real pedal is built right). Anyway....I grabbed a rando power supply out of my drawer of random power supplies to test something, without realizing that it was a center-positive supply. And in case any of you are unaware, tantalum caps (which I happen to like the sound of) burst into flames when they're "backwards" to the direction of current flow. So, flames + molten sticky foam = melty mess. I wish I had video.


Edit: Just for fun, check out around 1:35 in this video to get an idea of what happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VknpLq7DkSM
