More designs back from the painters today. They're redoing 30 more 'Dresden Synth Fuzz' pedals in metallic light grey because the print came out too light.

The minty Demon Fuzzes look proper nice.

Have I missed a memo? What are they?

Oh yeah that'd probably help. I'm only building a few of these at the moment while I use up the last of my etched PCBs. The majority of them will have professionally fabricated boards. No sound difference though. I'll put some demos up when I've built a few of each.

Dresden Synth Fuzz- this is a buffered pedal (even in bypass) that splits the signal in parallel and runs it through a Shocktave-alike (with different gain stage) which is an octave-down fuzz, and a Pushme-Pullyou octave-up circuit, then recombines and boosts them.

Demon Fuzz- modified op amp Muff Fuzz with Klon buffers. Simple but sounds great.

so the Dresden Synth Fuzz is similar to the prototype you sold me? The name makes a lot of sense, nice little pedal.

Ta. Yep it's taken ages to get the boxes drilled, design done, boxes painted. Still haven't sorted the new PCBs for this one however, so the final sound will be slightly different (likely more gain from the bass-fuzz circuit).

This sounds immense. Any risk of a demo?

Yep deffo, I'll do a private youtube and post it here. Not trying to get too much publicity for new pedals yet though, because I can't build them in quantity for about a month.

How much will the demon fuzzes go for? I need a fuzz pedal that gets on with buffers in my chain.

Those cases look mint! Nicely done.

Demon fuzzes will be Â£70. If you wanna pop round and try one out with your gear I've got the first one built, and will be making a bunch more this weekend.

I haven't bought it yet, however thinking about it I have a Danelectro Fuzz which works with buffers - although it doesn't look as nice as tim's Demon Fuzz.

Thanks for the offer Tim but I now live in Croydon so it won't be as easy to get up to yours with my stuff. Also, as above, I don't actually think I need one - but they do look nice, especially the (what looks like) mint green one.

The Muff Fuzz is more of a Distortiony Fuzz. It sounds like this:

If Tim's version is anything like my one knob fuzz recreation of the Op-Amp Muff Fuzz anyway:

Yep, just like that, except mine is smoother as it uses a TL074 with silicon clipping (as opposed to 4558 with germanium diodes in yours?)
I'm thinking the mint green version of mine oughtta have germanium diodes for variation.

In other news, anyone got a good name for a Harmonic Percolator clone? Next batch is 200 units, and I don't want any potential trouble listing on ebay USA or distributing to dealers in the USA with the 'trademark' holder. Should be pretty obvious what the pedal is, so maybe keep one of the existing words.

I think I built mine with a TL072 and Silicon Diodes (1n914s) actually.

Could you do something based upon a Coffee Percolator reference/pun?

Percolated Aroma?

No that's shit.

How about Fuzz Percolator, as they're kind of fuzzy from memory. Or Noise Percolator.
