What's the feature set gonna look like on that Shark?

Not sure, it's only three knobs...here is the copy from Facebook...
COLLECTIVE BARGAIN-3 knobs : if you like to get pedals that help give you a unique tone -check this out ! Utilizing some synthesizer style waveshaping , at times this pedal sounds like a weird synth, a random octave machine , at others like a smooth 70's style distortion , at others it sounds like only half the notes are getting through, replaced by whatever the pedal decides to do . You can get so many different sounds out of it with just a few controls. Really responds well to your playing: is very sensitive. Really far out ! Pretty small box ! Our futuristic pedal

Pretty sure the Divine Hammer can do some weird wave shaping too?

I just bought one of these because you posted this. Thing sounds

I ended up getting one also, lots of cool sounds inside.

Ugh
Is it a one-off just for you?

Kind of...he did a smaller batch before like he does with his other pedals. I wanted a field trip and couldn't find one any where so I E-mailed. Once he said he would make the field trip I asked if there were any others he was willing to make. So I got a bunch of stuff on the understanding that it gets done when it gets done.

Electro lobotomy makes a wave shaping pedal though. That dude makes cool looking stuff. I think Ruiner has a sonic forest. https://www.etsy.com/listing/513140107/ ... _active_13

Oh that's neat, thanks for the heads up!

Y'all love homebrews, yah?



Made by my mentor, who has started his own thang (taught me dang near everything I know about building pedals that I didn't learn via internet).

He's got some oscilloscope clips on his Instagram (@aminalaudio).

"The first stage is Bosstone inspired. This feeds a gnarly wave folding circuit called a non selective frequency tripler. The outputs of these are mixed Fuzzrite style, resulting in a unique gain/tone sweep. A toggle switch allows for 3 hard clipping diode arrangements, 2 of which are asymmetrical." Check HERE for gutshot.

Got a few for sale on his Reverb for very reasonable prices: https://reverb.com/item/6031010-filthy- ... _BwE&pla=1

What would be really cool is a synth pedal that generates a sine or triangle wave from your guitar's signal, rather than the standard square wave, and then lets you dynamically wavefold the sine wave. Perhaps it could be driven by your signal's envelope, an internal LFO, expression, or all three.

I also wonder if a standard wavefolder would work on guitar if you just turn the tone knob down all the way. I have uFold, so if I can get this to work I'll report back.

Cheers for the heads up here, I ordered one!

If you don't want to deal with the Soundblox thing, Source Audio has two variants of the wave distortion from the Soundblox in the Kingmaker/LA Lady/Aftershock (the pedals are IDENTICAL other than color, they all have the same algos inside and for use).

I knew I'd heard of that before.

This explains so much.

I would almost categorize this as an extreme example of crossover distortion instead of wave folding. It is simply offsetting each excursion of the waveform in the opposite direction by about a volt (through transistor switching) instead of taking the extreme ends of the waveform and inverting those from where they originate (like holding a mirror up at the power rails).

Here's a 'scope video from the prototype I brought on Saturday. Input on the top (1kHz sine). Folds those waves like a laundromat.
