Yes!

Anything with filters+fuzz would be

This is a really cool idea.

Would defo be up for helping out with the electronics side of things, dunno how helpful I'd be though. Hopefully I can add something to the mix though.

Love the whole idea of a dirty octave down fuzz myself..

Sorry

Sequenced, modulated, filtered oscillating fuzz with a boost and feedbacked effects loop...

I think that's everything...

Pussy.


But, yeah, octave downs are a bitch, generally. However! Have you looked at a Blue Box schematic? It's litterally just fuzz > octave-down chips. There's basically no extra circuitry.

I have no idea how it will sound in anything but a blue box, though. It's pretty crude.I think they rectify the signal, though.

if you use the bluebox mentality its not that hard. i made this but it does chromatic steps +/- 1 octave. and generates 2 pitches instead of 1. obs dosn't track chords but gives ok results.

go to ~ 1:10 to see the pitch shift.

sequencing something would be pretty rad though.
the blue box just uses flip flop chips. a flip flop is a basic digital building block. a consequence of using the "squared" (as in clipped, square shape) guitar signal as a clock signal is you get an output that toglles at every clock cycle, so the output square waveform is theoretically half the frequency of the input. I think they cascade 2 filp flops to get 2 octaves down. the harmonic content of a guitar often causes the tracking to screw up though.
