Finally getting around to building these, here's some updated pictures, too lazy to resize to post here. Soon I am going to put together a vid that goes through all of the controls. Not sure what I am doing demo wise. thinking of having someone do one at some point but probably after the first run. It came out pretty well, now I just have to build them...

OLD NEWS:
Back in the early days of the pandemic, Champion Leccy started a contest of sorts called the End of Days Fuzz Challenge. Really just an excuse for builders to flex the most disgusting fuzz side of themselves. Luckily it’s an open ended theme as I am just finishing mine now.
Bath Salts is a filtered fuzz or octave down fuzz in parallel with a wet only one repeat fuzz delay that just drags behind the fuzz signal in a drunken fuck shit up kinda of way. Inspiration for the sound of the pedal comes from Austin band USA/Mexico, the song ‘In the Raw’ by Lubricated Goat, and the overall vibe of the Swans album, Cop.
The circuit is a disgusting stew of classic noisemaker circuits from the DIY scene including the Noise Ensemble by Anchovie, the Ugly Face by Tim Escobedo, and the Crash Sync by John Holis. After years of tweaking and trying different things out I’ve finally landed and good to get this out. The main goal was to create a slab of sludge so here we are.
If anyone is interested in getting on the list hit me up here or on instagram. Not sure how much but won’t be too outrageous. Here’s the graphics. The white areas are actually transparent so the black, red and blue will be printed on black enclosures. The white looks kinda cool so thinking about white enclosures too. Probs black though. Will add more info and some clips laters…
