It turned out SO well. I was weary at first. But when it left me I was in love...

Gonna quote the Dirge thread:

Swapped out the starve pot for a lower value on the FY-2 side. Added a switch on the FY-2 to create a HUGE MASSIVE ANGRY distortion. Like holy shit scary gain with no gate intense everything on 10 destruction. Wired up the FY-2's second switch for optical oscillation, and the second switch on the Torns Peaker as a THICK overdrive fuzz that gets rid of the gate and splat and leaves you with a punchy drive that you can send into the FY-2.

So 8 knobs, 4 stomps, 2 switches, 4 LEDs. It's definitely changed from the original concept through the way, but I think that it's a really gnarly versatile fuzzer now, that can get super crazy or super metal or super psych or super heavy.

Here's the new additions:

And the guts. It was interesting fitting everything inside the enclosure, but I got it to work. Not the neatest, but for the sounds that come out of this thing, it's fitting:

Sooooooo I've got a few people to thank for that one. Wes, for being chill as shit during each step of the construction of the pedal, for being optimistic with new ideas, open to change, etc etc. And Dan for the wonderful job on the enclosure.

Your TP was gated? Mine was probably the noisiest pedal I've ever had but it was so rad sounding

Not like super gated, just like normal fuzzy kind of splat I guess I should have said. It removes the splat and leaves a smooth drive. Still noisy as hell though!

Simple one. TINY patch bay. Goes in the back with a passive signal splitter, one loop to jamman the other loop through the effects and then back out through a stereo jack which splits into both channels of the amp
