It can do brutal fuzz, octave down and octave up, self oscillations,
theremin sounds, flanger'ish modulation and more!
This circuit works best with high output pickups. It is a gated circuit
by nature of the CMOS logic. If you are using single coils and need
more sustain, try a boost or compressor in front. To improve
tracking of the octave down, use your neck pickup with the tone
rolled off.
Happy playing!
Changelog Version 2.1
• The 2.1 version has a different component placement layout
on the PCB (the BOM is still the same) for allow for a faster
build.
• ENV output removed
Note: The 2.0 PCB is compatible with the old PCB in terms of pots
and switch placement, so it can be a drop in replacement for for
the old board (for anyone that had trouble with ticking).
CONTROLS
KNOBS
MIX - Blends between fuzz and octave up. Goes from straight
square wave fuzz to octave up or blend between both. Only the
octave up is affected by the warp, track and LFO.
GATE - Controls the input sensitivity. From very glitchy to gated and
controlled. Turned all the way down (CCW) the circuit will oscillate
by itself. Play around with the track, warp, lfo controls and your
guitar knobs to change the sound and behavoiur of the oscillation
(works best with the pedal directly after your guitar).
RATE - Controls the speed of the LFO. The modulation only affects
the octave up.
SWITCHES
OctD - Toggle between one or two octaves down
LFO - Triangle wave mode (up), Off (middle) or Square wave mode
(down)
Wiring

Into The Unknown Bill Of Materials (BOM)
The 2.0 version PCB has a LFO gate feature added (similar to the
Arcadiator). It turns the LFO off completely when there is no input
signal, so it stays quiet when not playing. The self oscillation from
turning up the gate pot will also turn on the LFO.
To enable or disable the gate, just turn both dip switches on or off.
If you don't have a DIP switch you can either just link the pads to
have the gate on at all times, or just leave the pads unlinked for a
free running LFO (just like the 1.0 version PCB). I suggest leaving
the pads unlinked unless you are having an issue with ticking. Then
add the links.
Link the upper and lower pads to have the LFO gate engaged at all
times, or just leave it unlinked for a free running LFO.
