Just as a teaser, here's the artwork for the first 424 Studios short-run pedal. It's our take on the classic Fuzzrite circuit, with changes that we feel make it a more useful tool in your tonal arsenal.

Thanks to our good friend Morgan from Leila Vintage Electronics, we were made aware that many boutique Fuzzrite clones were missing a key resistor owing to a nearly correct schematic that was floating around. So we included that resistor in ours for true mojo vintage goodness, and whatnot.

We also decided we would include a toggle switch to enable two operating modes: Vintage and Useful. The stock circuit is a wee bit skewed to the high-end...which is cool and all, but we thought a more rounded out bottom end would be useful in many applications. So the choice between Vintage and Useful is left to the user. (note: this is a side toggle)

Look for these in fully finished and ready-to-acquire form in late June. Protos are in the works right now.

Fuzzwrongymus Bosch?

It's very Bosch-like, but it's actually Pieter Bruegel.

I would be shocked and amazed if Bosch didn't make an appearance at some point; I dig his work.

Doh on two fronts! One for proving that taking a few units of art history doesn't mean much, and two because I can't make a crap fuzz rite pun out of his name. Still, great artwork.

If it makes you feel any better, a friend of mine is a retired art teacher and he initially thought it was Bosch as well.

Sorry, I missed the pun the first time around. I got it now. :-)

I clocked it as a Breugel, but maybe only because I dig his pics of dudes with bagpipes and big knives.



Don't know if I got the right Breugel though.

That pic makes me want to conduct a dialogue about witches, wood, ducks and floating in the name of medieval science.

424 Studios Burn the Witch

Who are you that is so wise in the ways of science?

Boxes are in the Studio. Won't be too long now.

This is a mockup. Not the best lighting, so I'll take more photos later.



So, let's take a vote: blue enclosure or gold enclosure?

Gold more sure!
It's more suited to that era of art and just looks a lot cleaner!

Yep, looks like a frame for the artwork.

That's a tough one, but, yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the gold.
