Hey everyone. Thanks again for having me on the forum as a new member.
This is an Oscillot PCB from effects layouts, I'm not sure if it's currently available, very glad to have gotten one. Limited supply.
(Big thank you to Effects Layouts!!)
Check out this pedal, it's very shaky, and sounds prehistoric. Most wouldn't appreciate the filter knob.
The Fuzz tone itself is bold, unrefined rough and wild, pretty gnarly yet goes down smooth with a mellow groove.
It's a gosh darn dirty Fuzz, rude attidude dudes
Not sure what it's based on, it's very distinct.
Strangely when running this pedal in a chain of other effects the oscillation mysteriously disappears and the pedal bahaves nicely when rolling back on the guitar volume only then. Would anyone be able to explain how?
I'm running a couple transistor radio 'cigar box' amps which is pretty lo-fi, and retro. I like the filtered sound with these, either using a wah, or a harmonic energizer and if you tune it right you can get some pretty nasally tones.
This was the first build where I ordered my own parts and didn't use a kit, which didn't save me time and money but gave me a better appreciation of the build.
Jogging my memory... It took me awhile to find the correct IC's. requiring research. If memory serves, the IC's were relatively new for their time but almost exctinct as dinosaur fossils now. I have to really excersise my brain to remember where I sourced the info online. (Could have been on the effects layouts blog)
It was a pedal I wanted bad enough to do my homework on.
I had to make the artwork using old photos and then create a template, It was a lot of work for me as a begginer, and I wanted to share that with you.
The artwork to me is beautiful 1970's aesthetic. You gotta love the retro design.
Please (*Note how the original orientation of the 'IN' and 'OUT' flow goes left to right) How much more oldschool can you get?
...I ignore that and wired it modern standard but kept the design artwork true to the original as much as possible. You just gotta love the lettering font style of that 'EARTH SOUND RESEARCH' logo with the Squiggly graphic kinda like what you'd see on the controls of an Orange amp, heirogliphics. Very cool.
Another note, the knobs on an original would be nigh impossible to source, however unique and cool and retro they may be, it's another feature that inititally caught my eye and attracted me to this build.
Let me know if the design template is something you might be able to use if you're building your own Graphic Fuzz!! I put in some hours working on that.
ALright cool.
