It sounds better than it looks!

I wanted to do a simple fuzz build and went for the calamity fuzz. I also wanted to do a build thread that makes you think, "what's wrong with this guy?" After I listened to a demo, I was surprised at how gated and farty it sounded. Finally i got around to building it and was more surprised that it had a very pleasant sound!

In the spirit of its name (Unpleasant Surprise) I put a fake squishy fecal matter washer around the foot switch and a german cockroach between the knobs to encourage players to overcome their second thoughts. Cheers!

I was going to use brown nail polish and dried peanuts before I saw how cheap gag poop was on Amazon.

Looks like it could be the JHS GG Allin signature pedal.

Very much so. I'm only a 36 year old man but my sense of humor is that of someone 1/3 my age.

I know right? I left this out in the kitchen for my wife to find. Her words? "EW! EWWWW! OK...it's not real, but it's soft like....EWWWW!"

Fig should have a contest so that this pedal wins…

I, too, have a fake doodoo.
I was going to use it for TTG’s Christine, or Escobedo’s Uglyface, or similar “awful” circuit …
I’ll call mine “The Disturber”.


Your cockroach is next level — bravo!
