COMPLETE Catalinbread Anticthon

[Bricksnbeatles]

Is it a fuzz? Is it a tremolo? Is it a seagull? Is it a hyena?

Whatever it is, I want one, and you want one too. And who wants to buy one for MONEY, when they can build one for LESS MONEY‽‽‽

I think I had this in the old wishlist, but I forgot to bring it back, so here it is. If my words haven’t swayed you to upvote, maybe Andy’s dulcet ad-copy and raucous string-singing sans-plectra will persuade you. You love it. You need it. You bleed it. Yeah, it turns you on. But hold tight— You’re not a Highway Star, and you’ll never be one until you build your very own Anticthon. Be a Highway Star* by voting YES for this unit.

*this pedal has absolutely no relation to Deep Purple. It’s way cooler than anything that associates with that Uriah Heep ripoff could ever hope to be

this thing is mean!

Well, that was a great sales pitch. I'd vote it up just on that alone, but ... I really want this thing, too.

And then to seal the deal... Andy dishes out some dolphin chirps at 0:41. I hit stop, clicked the upvote and started typing.

Now to watch the rest of Andy's demo...

The decreased picking attack to reveal the trem sounds awesome, and now I wanna stack one with my Tone Mosaique clone

I have this pedal and traced it, even made and populated a pcb for it. I had too many other projects going at the time to remember how it turned out, I will dig it up and test it against the original.

Interesting. So it’s essentially a fuzz-factorified percolator

A buddy of mine has one and let me borrow it for a while. It is hands down the absolute worst pedal I have ever played by far. It's extremely difficult to get it to do anything except the dolphin chirps and when you do get it to the chirps are still there. For me it was a complete joke.

Dolphin Chirps is a great name. If I get to this one it will be called that.

 

[Aentons]

Hahaha... You should call it the PTSD because it will give you nightmares about the

Everything becomes a chirping dolphin when you stick it in a Deadendfx Tatiana "Floop."
