POLL: next month i want to release another pedal...

[smallsnd/bigsnd]

... but i'm not sure what... so help me out here! i'm trying to make something simpler/more useable for a large range of users, since i feel like my pedals up to this point have been pretty niche/application specific? i'm thinking of pricing both of them at $150.

mountain range:
low end heavy boost to low gain overdrive/fuzz.
3 knobs: gain, hi-cut, volume. 1 switch: od/fuzz
(maybe an internal HPF to tame some of the low end if you needed to?)

unnamed fuzz:
heavy sustain-y fuzz. simple.
4 knobs: fuzz, tone, mids, volume. 1 switch: clipping

neither?

Hehe... I know which designs i'd vote for...

But for now i'll say Mountain Range, for a cheaper pedal with a wider audience I think that sounds cool.

I'd say some kind of High Gainer with an Inbuilt Optical Gate for me personally but that's probably going way past the $150 mark.

What happened to that seasick-sounding merry-go-round thing you were working on?

all in good time...
hmmm high gain with optical gate? maybe i can revamp the fuzz a bit to incorporate that. i don't think it would bump it too far past if i can keep the parts down. let me think about it.

still happening but it will take some more time. also falls into the "niche" category... AND bummer, z vex is coming out with something similar - "instant lofijunky". i can't wait to hear about how i ripped it off.

Yeah I saw that... and knowing he watches the boards, I question where he might have gotten the idea from... I posted about something simmilar over a year ago on a forum he frequents and as did you post your idea... damn free market research.

It's okay though, I think teej12 said he'd seen it at NAMM and it wasn't all that.

Although you haven't said it specifically; when I think of a 4 knob "heavy sustaining simple" fuzz with mids I think of a number of several muff based fuzzes already on the market that you'd have to compete with.

[elbandito]

If you're gonna stick with the fuzz for your next release, why not add something intermodulating/crossover to the lineup? Something less wacky then the 4545 but crazier than the TAFM? I'm thinking of the P&C and Four-Eyed Fuzz, as examples.

true, but then again, anything i release competes with everything anyways!

hmmmm something to think about.

Well I'm not sure if I can think of anything that competes with the TAFM and the 4545. But I'm also dumb you see.

[Jero]

I'm leaning towards "something else," yet have no thoughts on what that should be

[magiclawnchair]

i am interested in the mountain range but i am interested in anything you are willing to build so....

[amnesiac305]

I'd be interested in the patchable delay pedal you built that is in some of your vids. I think that concept is pretty unique to guitar delay pedals or really to any guitar related effects

...Until Vexy gets his paws into it, that is.
