PLEASE NO MORE FUZZ PEDALS!!!
How about a rate-wah with lots of adjustable parameters to make different vowel sounds?
What vintage effect would you like to see reissued?

Since the DIY and boutique boons of the guitar effects market came to pass, there have been far more pointless reiterations of fuzz pedals than there have been wah and/or phaser pedals, or anything else except boosters by one green-ass mile really. I turn off instantly these days when I realize I'm looking at yet another $150 plain-metal-box-with-magic-transistors-inside abortion.

Totally agree. As much as 'tropical fish' in a pedal sonds kool its all getting a bit tiresome.paul_ wrote:Since the DIY and boutique boons of the guitar effects market came to pass, there have been far more pointless reiterations of fuzz pedals than there have been wah and/or phaser pedals, or anything else except boosters by one green-ass mile really.

Xotic Robotalk Envelope Filter + Random Arpeggiator
http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/xotic/robotalk
http://www.xotic.us/effects/guitarone_r ... tarone.jpg <article on it
Almost bought one but it was overpriced and in rough shape. Looked for another for about a year. The manufacturer was bringing out a Robotalk 2 but it turned out not to have the arps at all, the best part of the whole pedal. The pedal itself is rare and the blue bass version rarer still. Subdecay Proteus seems to be inspired by it. Both have the same issue with your perfect arp setting being way different than the filter you'd like. You can't really switch back and forth without having to twist the nipples.
Tap tempo is a huge WIN from Subdecay but still kind of a 1 trick pony as there are much better filters out there. The Eventide Pitch Factor may be better in the long run. I just know it needs to live in front of my Pog2, Phase 100, and Replica.
I'd love it if a Genius builder could offer more magic with the arps side or filter ON the arps. (expression pedal, attack, Q, magic, gliss, stuff)
^That's not me. I would trade the child in for at least 3 new pedals.

Word to that. I've spent 8 hours so far attempting to fit this in a small enclosure with board-mounted pots and switch. I'm thinking I'll have to put the final boost stage on a daughter-board on the switch with the Millenium bypass circuit.Mike wrote:Super Fuzzes have quite a lot of components btw.

Seriously this isn't even funny. Six jumpers!?! This is my 9 hours of Superfuzz layout. Christ.
The Ampeg scrambler is looking very tempting. The Filter Sample & Hold isn't particularly practical due to parts count, but Tonepad have it as a project so I'm gonna build myself one for shits and giggles.

Plenty of people making Superfuzzes already - Wattson (*spit*), MJM, Build Your Own Clone and Black Cat to name just the front runners. Plus Voodoo Lab, who own the name now and market a pedal under it that isn't a superfuzz, confusingly, are notoriously litigious about it (teehee mewithoutus...). The Ampeg Scrambler would be fucking cracking though.
Also, there's the Warpig (single knob silicon fuzz) that sounded great, but the builder (gringoloco) was unreliable as fuck and kept disappearing with people's money. People would lap those up if you could clone it. I know a fella who has one...
