As one would expect, this thing brings the noise. Glorious, ear splitting, yet useful noise. My only struggle was choosing between a momentary or a normal 3pdt for the oscillation. I've had this weird smaller stomp switch that has a a somewhat unpleasant feeling click in my stash for years that I've been wanting to use up on something other than a bypass switch so I went with it.

This pedal can also be used for more normal fuzz purposes so I think it's worth building whether you want to make with the broken sounds or not. I wouldn't call it a stand out bass fuzz but it doesn't eat up all the lows either. I especially enjoyed playing my bass vi with how differently the oscillations and swash would respond to the different pickups.

The LMS powder coat on this box is very hard to photograph. At most angles it just looks silvery metallic but in the right light and tilted just right there's some subtle rainbow glitter that pops out.

heck yeah. I love how the board layouts match the chaos of these devices.
tbh it'd be cool to hear some demos of them, cos i have no idea what '4ms noise swash' actually sounds like.

nothing confounds me more than attempting to comprehend Moonn circuits.
i feel like there needs to be some sort of a flow chart/sliding scale to understand where each one of their circuits sits in the various overlapping realms of fuzz/distortion, positive feedback, delay, modulation etc.

cos saying it's a modified clone of an Analog Armpit Dishwasher doesn't tell me all that much.
maybe that's the point.
