Drugs, man. As I hoped, this pedal is pretty different from the others I've demoed. Harsher, more scrambled, with some beautiful, filtery tones. Pretty tweakable, but it retains its idiosyncrasies no matter the setting. It can be a bit bright at times for the music I usually play, but it would kick ass in a more classic noise rock setting. Or for weird, psychedelic effects and such. Very responsive to your guitars tone knob, which lets you mellow it out. And great for volume knob synth freakouts. Basically, it takes the concept of oscillating fuzz and runs with a certain style of it. Think gated 8-bit notes, controllable screams of feedback and compressed power chords. It nails that aspect of things, and is a great tool if you're into those kinds of sounds. Man.
As you can see, I got hung up on certain settings (especially in the latter half of the video), but I think I covered most of it. There are obviously way more sounds on tap, though.
Neither have I, and I finished designing the thing back in July! It does everything that I wanted it to do in the first place, which it turns out is about a third of what it's actually capable of and I find a new sound every time I jam with it.Eivind August wrote:I honestly haven't figured everything out on this guy yet
Right? I use style to cover up lack of chops.Chankgeez wrote:I like them lights and the way the pedal keeps jumping this way and that.

Thanks! That's mostly mr. Pickle-James doing; even the simplest little lines come out sounding complex with the Berk.Chankgeez wrote:Yep, sounds fantastic start to finish.
Glad to hear it's not only me. That's great work though, making something so deep. The world needs more crazy boxes like this! Also, thanks for commenting, always fun when the creators chime in on my demos. Glad you enjoyed it!pickletech wrote:Neither have I, and I finished designing the thing back in July!

That demo vid is awesome, and the commentary invoked actual audible laughter. Thanks!
So... out of all the osc-fuzzies in the world, which one ranks the highest?Eivind August wrote:there aren't that many osc-fuzzies left on the earths surface
For my use, LAL 88.They all have different perks that fit different occasions - I need me some expression controlled oscillations, and the base sound is incredible. It has become an extension of my instrument, more or less. For drones, I'd say AB-Synth (which is now called the Sonic Shroom). For videogame madness, Wolf Computer (or the Silver Apple). For harsh noise walls and extreme sounds, Thornoscillator or Noise Swash. And so on. Most of the fuzzes I've demoed here are excellent, so it really depends on what you're looking for specifically, like types of sound, functionality etc. For instance, while the She Fuzz might not be the most out there or interesting one of the bunch, it has earned a steady gig on my board because it nails a spesific set of sounds.Dungus wrote:So... out of all the osc-fuzzies in the world, which one ranks the highest?Eivind August wrote:there aren't that many osc-fuzzies left on the earths surface
Will do, thanks.Eivind August wrote:No problem, man. For the harsh, crazy noise, be sure to check out the Great Destroyer as well.
