I might be so wrong but - shouldn't the Zvex Machine do something like that?

Nice, I've been looking for an affordable and easy to use setup to show several kinds of graphics about frequencies, waveforms,... of effects for a very long time (I made a few posts/replies on DIY SB and FSB the last 2 years) to add that info to FXDB.
I would like to build it into a "test bank" for creating the graphics + audio demos...

Someone has got to have a Big Muff to test out there.

Whoa.. ein deutschsprachiger ILF-ler! Grüße aus Österreich!
Nun zum eigendlichen Post:
I'm going to pick up the parts for the MOM-D Fuzzler Prototype tomorrow... I will also build it right away so maybe I'll get to it and run your test files through it and send the outcome to you...
Also, I have two more fuzzes in the works so you might get to hear from me more often in the near future

Habe ein tolles Jahr in Wien verbracht, damals am AIM

about the fuzzes:
Great! Unique prototypes responses - they are the best!

This thread has motivated me to fix my Vintage Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. I have everything I need on the way except pots. What pots should I get? I want it as close to original as possible.

I was hoping I could get the pots from them but they are not on their site. I don't have all the original parts to my Fuzz Face cause when I found it, it had a Jordan Bosstone jammed inside it. In another part of the shop I did find the original Mullard OC71 transistors though. When I have it fully restored to vintage spec I'll take pictures and e-mail in a test file.

I did this Spectrum Analysis in SF of the Exar Squeezer.
Is a graph like that interesting for anyone?
input was a sine wave @444Hz

I'm going to keep sending in test files of pedals as I come across them. I have one to test today. I'd like to see someone test a Devi Ever Hyperion and a Fulltone '69. I know I can borrow a Fulltone '70 from a really good customer of mine. I'm trying to get a hold of a Frantone Hep Cat.

I cant read the graduation on the side of the graph so its almost useless. but it does look like equally spaced harmonics on a logarithmic graph. this usually only happens with even order harmonics aka octaves.

I could scale the pic differently, the question is: is this type of graph useful or not?
