"The Nintendo Muff
"The Nintendomuff gets more attention onstage then I do... People see me playing with an old NES joystick, making these insane outerworldy noises and just go crazy!" -John Biscutti
This is the infamous Nintendo Muff. Inside the controller is a heavily circuit bent Electro Harmonix Big Muff. I took out parts of the NES Advantage's circuit board so that the big muff could share the case and could make use of the various knobs and buttons on the controller. The joystick, buttons, switches, and knobs all control various squeals and squeaks made by the bent muff. The footswitch is just a bypass switch and the additional knob controls the level. What results is a highly tweakable noise fuzz device. I wish I had made a video!"
(Someone's already thought of it.)

"The 8-Bit fuzz is a high gain gated fuzz. It has a synth feel to give a broken Nintendo sound. You basically lose all dynamics. The note feels like a keyboard, immediate attack and the note just disappears suddenly. Random octave dives at certain settings as well as a fat, raspy fuzz in the lower octaves. True bypass and volume knob."
And I have this. It's ACTUALLY not that bad. (I dunno how it stacks up next to the bit though.)
and dude, broken NES's are rarely broken, they just need a cleaning.

You don't want a Game Boy, sell it (to me.)
