But hearing you say the other one you had built didn't sound as good?? I mean it's an ugly face dude, what exactly are you expecting? If you want the video sound you better just get the giga build.

I think it is supposed to sound bad. much of that video is an atonal cacophony. maybe you accidentally got one that sounds good and didn't like it? also, the video you posted is actually 3 pedals. you really need to have all 3 and everything exact before you can compare to your own setup. honestly, if it was me, and I actually did want to make crazy sounds like that, I would be buying up pedals that hold value or go up in value.

every single pedal from death by audio
but maybe if you want something very close to an ugly face but less of a hack job you should get this pigtronix mothership (old version big box) used as low as $175. I don't think there is anything wrong with gigahearts at all. I think the ugly face is just one of those wacky designs that can not be called well engineered no matter who it is building it.
don't forget that moog also has lots of pedals with envelopes, LFO's, oscillators, pitch tracking.

I would not go near a project like this because I would not want to risk OP saying that I built a pedal that is not really what OP wanted. my advice to OP is that this may be the moment you decide that you need to start building guitar pedals so that you can take the time to build things exactly how you want.

I believe that was in regards to eyg saying he couldn't find it documented...asking if the one he linked was it or not.
