INVADING CANNIBAL LADYBIRD

[Fuzzonaut]

This is another one of the crazy circuits Nils at Moonn gives us to build. It is an old design from 2012, created by Fred Briggs.

As Nils describes it:
A crazy noisy Fuzz/Distortion
Into a Big Muff style tone control
Into a trashy-ass Delay!!!
And yes it is as stupid as it sounds.

I'd say, it's actually not quite as stupid as it sounds. There is chaos, noise and oscillation available, sure, but you could tame things a bit, if you wanted.
Then again, where's the fun in that?
The only thing that is stupid is the Starve switch (VOLT) as it more or less kills the signal. If you're brave enough to build this, maybe just leave it out. There are still enough knobs and switches.

As I didn't pay attention to the regulator (mixed up 7805 vs 78l05), I had to improvise a bit with what I had at hand.
Not pretty, but it works.

Fantastic build and graphics! I am really curious how the Hot Mett sounds and would love to hear a demo!

Thanks!!!

Well, not a demo by any means, but here's a short bit with my bass test loop going through it, while I randomly twist a few knobs.
Might give you an idea? The Mix knob is nice, it kinda pans between dirt and delay.

Thanks for doing that! I am definitely buying one!

Bought one of these boards a while back from Nils and it got lost in the shuffle. This thing sounds like a load of fun so will definitely get started on it in short order. Any chance you have the tayda drill coordinates?

Thinking this isn't my normal cup of tea till I heard the demo. Sounds like a load of fun.

another point for the crap fi delay

Yes, tons of fun!

I don't use templates or the tayda drill service ... All I have is the graphic file, 87mm x 114mm, with the drilling points lined up for your measuring pleasure.

Maybe experiment with STARVE switch's R3 2k2, reduce that a bit, stick a 2k pot on there and dial it down to the sweet spot, then measure where the pot's at and reinstall the closest resistor. Or replace the switch with a 9mm pot, make the SAG/VOLTS/POWER-CORRUPTER/WHATEVER external...

Thanks, but ...

it's fine as is, for me
