So I recently sent my mega rare Sam Ash Fuzzstainer to Jerms so he could dissect it and make a sweet clone.
well it's done! and awesome! :!!!:
so check the video comparison (and make sure to stick it out till the end where they demonstrate the "gating" knob):

nice!
you'll love it man.
hey, I figure if I can put something rare of mine into a talented builder's hands, then why not?
That's how the Basic Audio Squarewave+ came about too.
(not to mention the other cool stuff I have and will send to John ;) )
spread the love!

oh yeah, that Sam Ash prototype clone in the vid is all mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :!!!:

Coming soon to a boutique near you--the "edkoppel Collection." Seriously--this is so much appreciated. :hug: Seems like everytime I go on a jag looking for some underground classic that no one can quite replicate, you come along and hook it up with a build guru so it can be released into the wild. You don't happen to have a WEM Project V stashed away perchance that you'd maybe like to send to say John or Jim or Brad or some other enterprising soul so we can all get our Sky Saw on? Do ya, huh? Pleeez? I'll come running to tie your shoe.... ;)

i'm starting to think that this pedal is nothing more than a Superfuzz copy :poke: :(

To me it has no relation in sound or design!

the Pink Fairies album that is supposedly drenched in it sounds just like how a really good Superfuzz should sound and the one person with one of these pedals doesn't want to take it apart or even confirm to me whether or not it is the pedal on the album (which to me screams "protecting mah investment!!!!!")
we'll see - it's been my personal holy grail for ages so if i ever get my hands on one i will reveal the secrets :thumb:

it's tough to imagine how the pedal sounds from Brian Eno fuzz songs (if that's what you're referring to)
that guy was and probably still is crazy with post-production editing and shizz

The Fuzzstainer is completely different than the Superfuzz. Other than they both use transistors, there is nothing
shared between the two schematically. It's also quite variable so it can sound quite different depnding on how it's set, unlike
the super fuzz (baring tone switch settings)
