You've been GRISTLEIZED

Had the privileged of building a Gristleizer over the holiday. Was a part of the gift I sent out for this years ILF Secret Santa. I decided to put a twist on the typical design, and built it into a treadle enclosure...a re-purposed crybaby wah for the curious. Here's a little background info on the circuit.

It's hard to explain what all the circuit does, but tremolo/ringmod/broken amp/idk? Tons of control and options. Treadle controls speed, then depth, bias, & volume are on the right. The left has a vca/vcf toggle, and a rotary switch for the waveshape.

Lots of wiring! I ripped the colorful wires from an old computer, woohoo.

Productivity boost

Here's a great sounding circuit. The pre/boost section of the old echoplex's in stompbox form. Has vol and fat control, & a 17v tap (if you need it). Thinking about building another tailored specifically for bass, though this sounds good with it, I find myself maxing the fat control.

Here's another prototyping breadboard. I'll be selling these soon, so this is the proto of sorts. I also have some stuff I didn't want to tear down on my main breadboard, so needed this.

FUZZZZ

Custom fuzz & another Big Muff. The custom has an oscillation footswitch with control (beam), texture (focus), and volume (target). The big muff has a normal/low gain switch, & two different types of clipping switches for the first and second stages. Also has a feedback stompswitch & mids control. Both pedals sounds fantastic!

I actually put sockets on the normal/low gain switch, so it can be changed to anything really. For instance, you could make both settings higher gain than the original if you wanted.

Both enclosures came from PedalPartsPlus. The turret board is made by me, and the muff pcb came from Madbean.

A new moon

This one has been a bit delayed. You may remember the enclosure I space painted a while back...

I call it Ramrod. Inside is a SuperFET boost (SHO workalike) and a Whisker Biscuit. The WB is similar to the EHX Big Muff but, with much fewer parts. It has socket'd transistors for fine tuning, & sockets for additional tone caps. They can be use independently or cascaded (boost>fuzz).
