This pedal sounds pretty cool. That was some killer blues playing by the way.

Go on Aen, tell us a bit more - what are these touches?
Well, true bypass of course unlike the green muff its modeled after, a little more gain than the schematic provided, a trim control before any amplification to prevent "overblown farting" from superhot pickups (ie my tele custom II) a feedback loop with momentary footswitch, and a complete bypass of the tone section. Also, i played with the diodes a bit, and you can switch one f them on or off for really drastic changes. And it has a bird on it.

Downsides, its huge nd expensive.

Cheers Aen, looks ace. Whether or not I'll be able to afford one, however, is a different matter.

Has anyone heard or tried the Mellowtone Wizard Fountain? Someone showed me it today and it sounded pretty cool. Cheap too, 85 dollars.

Doog here has his Wolf Computer, and I really rate him. He's a nice guy and makes cool pedals.

So when this new pedal is done how much do you expect it to cost?

Dude that's slick!!

I wonder how hard it's be to add a loop to your osc from the pedal. Imagine a modulation pedal affecting just your feedback/osc, an then an expression pedal to control pitch!! That'd be sick.

I think I am finally settled on what fuzz I want to get. I came across a vid for a Swaptronics bc-108 clone and just loved it. Now if I can only get enough money............

I'm not promising anything, but that'll probably be July, $150. Pretty much the whole line is getting equalized at $150, excepting Thunder.

Well, that'd be pretty much er, not possible. The oscillation is created via the whole circuit, and your guitar, it's not like a seperate oscillator. I do modulate feedback oscillation though.

NExt time a store runs out of hurricanes they will be replaced with a simpler smaller, and CHEAPER unit that does bypass/feedback/feedback modulation for $150. WEWT.


Ok, end Dwarfcraft Commercial.

i like that a lot, way better than any fuzz face pedal i've tried (never was really impressed, always seeed a bit too well lined/boring) but this one, it cleans up so nicely, lots of clean punch coming through and has these beautiful overtones and seems to respond so well to your playing, really like

Yeah me too. It was one of those random things I stumbled upon. Actually my computer had opened the video when I moved my mouse by accident getting out of my chair and it came on and just hit me in the face.
