YOU'VE ENTERED THE FORBIDDEN ZONE, LOBOTOMITE! I AM DOCTOR MOBIUS! RETURN TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND DO NOT DISTURB THE CRITICAL WORKINGS I HAVE WORKING …ON! I HAVE A GOOD RAISIN FOR DOING THINGS THE WAY I DO. GO BOTHER THE THINK TANK!
Thanks to the eminent @Aleph Null we have this guy, the Peacock Parallel Fuzz. In their own words:
Going with a slightly more friendly 1590BB geared board, here we are! Blue "THINK TANK" is a fuzz face "doing its best Big Muff impression," while the red "MOBIUS" is a Harmonic Percolator.
I was experimenting with a regular FF on the breadboard and dug up a 2N2904 PNP motorola can I had sitting around. It's silicon, but it looked nice 'n mojo.
Rattle can and lay-zor for this one. I think this is the furthest I've ever gone, as far as steps go, for the graphics. I wanted it done right like my head brain vision saw it. I could never get a good in-game screenshot to be the way I wanted it, so I ended up: using a modding archive decompression tool, extracting the NIF files from the game data, converting them to OBJ, importing them into my ancient version of Maya, rigging them, plopping on the textures, and posing them (mostly) the way I wanted them, setting up lighting, rendering, taking it into photoshop to tweak and adjust contrast, then into illustrator so I could get vectors for the laser. My rigging and animation skills are quite rusty, but I got it mostly the way that was in my head.
All that, and after it was all said and done, I got to looking at it and though …FORBIDDEN TONE! would have been a much better name!
Thanks for looking.

The love and care you put into the graphics shines through! Does the 2N2904 play nice after the input buffer?
I haven't noticed any shenanigans with the buffer, just to kickawesome tones.
