Just wrapped this one up. Super easy build but made it harder on myself and put it in a 1590B enclosure. Still relatively easy. This thing is super gated and gnarly but with a nice low end. I can get some very cool fuzz/distortion tone out of it. With just a bit of octave. Pretty simple circuit but clever.

I went with a vintage distressed look for it. Including the 50's Velcro logo. Pretty happy with how this one came out.

That logo is great!

Great build! I put this one in a 1590B enclosure too! One of the better spity gated fuzz pedals in my opinion.

That looks great! Is that a power mosfet on the board?

Thanks. As far as I know it's just a regular PNP BJT transistor

Just for the hell of it I wanted to take this back out off the shelf and mess around with it the other day. So I decided to make a phone quality, mediocre played, demo while I was at it. Here she is.

bloody hell does that thing gate or what!

well i reckon you’ve done a great job of showcasing what the pedal does and sounds like.
(also phone quality isn’t a bad thing, imo it’s a reliable benchmark that most people should be pretty used to)

the rush riff at the end

Thanks. It does gate real fast. It may not be very useful but it does have that charm about it.

I missed this. Very nice!
Freakin gate mahine!
Excellent selection of Demo riffs!
I believe the guys from Rush are brewing beer now. Which i can dig that too.
