The love of my brother Hurb saw me through.
Euan - not even close.
This is the initial design. Hurb wants tweaks and I want to fulfil his needs like a filthy bitch.

SOunds like a more focused/tighter Blender. Wiht proper bass response and loudness. So I guess it only sounds a little liek a blender.

This is the initial prototype, with the Sustain and Volume controls maxed and the tone control centred by fixed resistors. It's going to have Bass and Treble filters in place of the single tone and I'll get some pots in it shortly.

DURTY! Very unlike my old pal MIEK, but sounds fun.
Is it a clone or a new design?

It's a clone, no way could I design something like this. The input stage and the octave generation took some serious design chops/Mad scientist stuff. I barely understand how it works. For those interested all that's in the circuit is 4 NPN Bipolars, resistors, caps and 4 diodes of varying types.
It's currently a clone, but I'm going to replace the single tone control with a bass and a treble control, and I'm also going to make the Octave effect footswitchable.

It's up to Hurb whether he divulges the secret of his future Signature Pedal. That's right, folks, Hurb is ENDORSED by me. Or something.
They're the 2n5088's aen. Sound surprisingly good eh?

I'm not sure if i will let on what this is a clone of yet, when it's done maybe .
