What's on the workbench?

[Bricksnbeatles]

So what are the other two circs that need naming?

Two more ring mods?

Pure Preamp

Kris-Pre — Kris embodying purity and clarity.
Katharós Proenischytís—Greek for "pure preamp"

Too bad it's not a Chase Bliss circuit, could name it
"Chaste Blitz"
or for a Chase Bliss thinger (not Pure-related)...

"Chased Blips" — bonus points if you could have an animated graphic on your pedal:

Wocka wocka wocka


So what are the other two circs that need naming?

does one of us have to go add a load of chase bliss pedals on the wish list now? - I'm sure would be fun and super easy to trace/build

on that note, I was having a chat with my brother who works in the erm live music hardware sector... and he was convinced chase bliss are using FPGA in their pedals. I'm pretty sure that as the Dark World is I think FV1 they might not have jumped up to FPGA so quickly. Anyone know

I'm still waiting for the Quake Fuzz @Robert is working on (maybe called something else, but that's what iD did after Doom2 isn't it?)





(stupid name suggestion No. 23)

It depends on the pedal.

The Dark World uses a pair of FV-1s along with a PIC microcontroller and 10 vactrols.

The Habit uses an XMOS DSP.

MOOD and Gen Loss MKII use STM32.

Bliss Factory is a PIC with 15 vactrols.

I’ll have one each please

Now these are getting even more interesting… am I a gear snob?

What the hell is "FPGA"?

I'm not up on all you kids' super-slick jingo-slango-jargonium... but I'll take a stab at it all:

FPGA — Fuzz Propagating Germaniuhm Algae-rhythms ... green-thumbed gearheads accessing Germaniuhm's secrets on a photo-cellular level. ​

​

VACTROL — VACuous(-minded) TROLl that lurks hidden within an online arena known only as TGP (tonally-generic proliferation?)​

​

XMOS — eXtraneous Monophonic Outbursts of Scratchiness. Must've been one at the pub jam I was in the audience for this past Wednesday.​

​

DSP — Degraded Signal Perversion... digit it, digit it all to hell.​

​

STM32 — Sonic Tonic Mangler (affecting also the 32nd harmonic). How this is achieved is beyond my ken.​

​

PIC — Price Inflating Chip, increases the cost of whatever build it's in, but other than that nobody knows what it does.​

​

FV1 — Festering Volatility... not good tone.​

What the hell is "FPGA"?

Field Programmable Gate Array

It's sort of like designing a custom CPU - an FPGA is basically a *bunch* of logic gates (the most basic building blocks of computing), and the connections between them can be rewritten at will (hence the "field programmable"), so it's basically custom hardware that you didn't have to fab and can fix or modify after the fact.

Thank you @manfesto

so in this situation they (not chase bliss) use it to digitally program a set of analogue audio circuits. So turned off it’s a load of components on a pcb with a load of gates, when it loads in the firmware an analogue circuit is created. Change the firmware and a different circuit is created.

 

[Nostradoomus]

and even though Robert kindly offers ANY of the PCBs as a way of thanks for the name...

i forgot about that

ahem @Robert

I SAID I CAME UP WITH THEM ALL BY MYSELF.

Ooo ooo…. PLEASE let me name this one!

Hysterical! But shouldn't the Fuzz knob's label be upgraded to 'Hair' or maybe even 'Pubes'???
