Sounds gorgeous to me. :love: I love how nasty it could get. I don't think I mind the clicks given the lo-fi nature of the pedal.

Totally great sounding! I'll be picking one up soon as that's an option. My bender keeps growing on me and gets used more and more every week.

OMG!! :!!!: this sounds amazing!

maybe i'm missing something, is this an always on effect with a momentary switch for oscillation or does the single switch turn on/off the effect AND control the oscillation? i would love a two footswitch version of this.

Yeah, cool, dig it!
It sounds quite different than the previous proto.
Which controls will it have external and internal?

Hey! thanks! The video shows the pedal on and engaging the oscillation. The one switch turns the pedal on/off with one tap and holding it engages the oscillation. I didnt make room inside for two footswitches and didnt want to rip too hard on the caroline havoc switch setup plus I just liked the idea of one switch with two functions. I'll let you know if I change it to two stomps.

Gotcha. One footswitch works just as well. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!

1. Yeah, I noticed that it was always on after my comment. Still think the clicking sound/rythmic sound after the oscillation shouldn't be there though. Maybe have a soft release gate or something for when the oscillation stops to make it less noticable?
2. Awesome! :joy:

Looking forward to the full demo! :animal:
1. Right now the oscillation switch is controlled via relay that basically changes the feedback pot value to a second internal pot value. In the next version of the pedal I want to use a digital pot to control this for smoother transitions and other control options. Thats gonna be a few months tho so for now I'm sticking with the relay. I def feel you on making shit smooth all over the place tho.

Thanks! Yeah I wanted to make it a little mushier than the first prototype.
The external controls are feedback, delay time, delay level, reverb level.
The internal trimmers are for clean level, and self osc amount for the runaway mode.

Thanks! The pcb for this new pedal took me a while but it's pretty neat. I'll post a pic when the final ones come in the mail.

So I just watched this on my computer instead of phone. Do you turn the light at one point? Like as a control for the pedal? Is that a thing? If it is, it's news to me.

Hey! yeah the top light is a clear plastic pot thingy thats lit up. It's the knob to control the reverb level.
