Hey! Thanks, so yeah it's a Fuzz with resonant filter and an LFO with 4 oscillators, I used the psycho lfo as a starting point and I've been messing with that circuit for a while to get some better waveforms and such. Fuzz is if you replaced the 2nd stage of a bee baa with a jangly low gain fuzz face.

Expression controls the cut off and CV modulates with the cut off being the center point. You can use both at the same time. The CV in is on the sleeve and CV out is the tip. There's a bit of stuff going on and so here's a link to the manual page

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/3h6 ... Manual.pdf

As for the whole series of pedals, there are going to be four. The Solace State no. 2115, Everything is Alive no. 2116, and two more. Besides the solace state, all have CV control and something modulates so there's that. I'm pretty pumped for the next release, but that's for a later time.

This all sounds really good. Nice touch with the multi-mode filter. Looking forward to hearing more demos!

BM, could you please stop been a throll and stop trying to start a war. This is a great forum and we don't need post like that.

Edit:
Keep the bullshit out of here.

Hi Sylnau, thanks for the message. I wasn't trying to troll nor was I trying to start anything. I was giving my opinion on an internet forum in a thread that was discussing Big Game Pedals. You are right, this is a great forum, at least in the sense that there doesn't seem to be any censorship. I can see why you think that my non-pedal related post is in bad taste, but I am just commenting on business practices of a pedal builder in a thread dedicated to said pedal builder. I started the post saying it was friendly advice, and I certainly didn't want to see follow up posts calling me a Nazi, especially since as a Jew I have lost old and distant relatives to the gas chambers. Maybe it would be better to address those posters instead? But if I offended your sense of what this forum is about, it was not my intention. Just trying to give another, albeit unpopular, perspective. Weird that it's unpopular though since my post clearly stated I am anti war, anti racism, anti Nazi, anti NWO and anti organized gov't. Too bad we all can't align on these beliefs, which I bet a lot of people here share. It's unfortunate we are all victims of a rapacious media hell bent on taking us to the brink of civil war. It's especially sad that our beloved business of pedals is getting caught up in that bullshit too.

I don't buy it.

I've been a fan and supported of Big Game for a couple years now, so this post is meant to be a word of friendly advice for Ryan, who just lost a customer in me and people I speak to. He lost me because of an instagram post saying that people who "align with the beliefs" of the the idiotic neo-nazis are not welcome to do business with him. That's his right and perogative, but I would caution him on a couple points.

1) Probably about .0000001 percent of 1 percent of the population of the USA aligns with the beliefs of those guys in your picture. The media has you fooled that Trumps base is racist, but as a former Trump supporter, I certainly never aligned with those beliefs, but somehow I get the impression that you are lumping me in with these fools in Virginia. This brings me to my second point.

2) Lumping people in to groups is a bigoted stance, and one that is ironic since you are trying to say that bigots are not welcome to buy your products.

3) Back to point one, are you really implying that everyone in the midwest and rust belt states and blue collar workers or anyone else who believed Trumps bullshit and voted for him are Nazis? To me they're hard working people who got fucked by the criminal syndicate known as the US Govt/Military Industrial/Wall Street complex and rightly wanted change. My only hope for these people is that they realize they got fucked over by Trump and become even more militant against the NWO regime. But 99.9999999 percent of Trump voters voted for him because of his economic populism and ending all the wars and getting along with the world. All things that turned out to be bullshit no doubt, but you'd be well served to actually align with these people rather than fight them because in actuality, their fight and your fight are one and the same.......the fight against tyranny and oppression. It's just too bad that this pied piper turned out to be a complete bullshit artist.

Anyhow, it is your right to run your business as you see fit, but just know that it alienates you from your customer base, even if some people like your bigoted and extremely small sighted political stance. I was ready to buy the Bedlam B-Stock and was just about to hit "buy" when I saw that post on your instagram. Even though I hate political extremists on all sides, and that includes these bozos who dress up in sheets etc, I still got the distinct impression that you meant anyone on the right, and that shit pissed me off. I know that the easy reaction from you would be to say "good, fuck off Nazi. I don't need or want your business." But you are lumping the wrong people in with your narrow view of the political realities of this country, and in my opinion, you are doing it to your detriment. I truly thought you were smarter than this.

Having said that, Ryan makes great stuff and I am sad that I will never get a chance to own anything else of his. Politics sucks Ryan, and you should never mix it with your business.

Jesus Christ... What?

First off, I know you have supported me and stuff, and I thank you for that. Ok, now that that is out of the way.

I never lumped Trump supporters into that group. You did. You have assumed this stereotype and you have created this delusional thought that people who hate NAZISM and WHITE SUPREMECY are also against Trump supporter base. This is not politics, this is not pro-left. This is me standing up for the morality that I hold myself and others to. There are no politics involved in this. I am saying if you support ideas of bigotry and ignorance, then fuck off. So if you don't support those Manny, then why are you offended? I never mentioned trump ever.

It's strange that you would get that impression, that I meant the entire "right." Because those men with torches represented NAZISM and the KKK. There were chanting hate and ignorance. So is that what you think the right is? If so, again, it is YOU who perpetuates this stereotype.

If you don't want to buy any of my stuff because you offended yourself with my post, then that is perfectly fine with me.

Also this is all I am going to say about this. I was pretty pumped I got to share this pedal to you guys... don't ruin this for me Manny.

I'll take your on your word that you only meant the idiotic Neo Nazis and will retract my post with an apology to you. It's just that this anti-Trump business in the pedal world is getting out of hand and perhaps I just thought you were "aligning" with that particular hate group. After all, Trump supporters have been called Nazi by the left now for months. Is it really so completely foreign to you that I might have thought the way I did? Jeez, even jrfox called me a Nazi in this thread alone! And this after I went to great lengths to make it very clear in my first post that I am completely anti-gov't, anti-wall street, anti war, anti-NWO, and yes, anti-Trump and anti-Nazi. See, we all probably agree with eachother a lot more than we disagree and that is my ultimate point.

Anyhow, in the spirit of fairness I will not say anything else other than I am glad you responded and clarified that for me. Just in parting though, my main thesis still applies IMO. Keep your personal politics out of it. While I agree that Nazis suck and need to die in the dustbin of history, to the extent that they exist at all they are a very tiny minority of a tiny minoroty and as such is it even worth posting the post you did? After all, how many Nazis are actually lining up to buy boutique pedals these days?

Dude the pedal is BA. For real. I say you juice up another quick Youtube video of some legit thunder on it and post it up! I built a Pong War Machine and got addicted to crazy LFO fuzz, and I've looked over the psycho-LFO schematic a few times wondering what it would do to a delay. Thanks for sharing your pedal man.

[JonnyAngle]

According to my math that means only about .0032 people.

You just won the Internet.

[nshuman]

Hey! Thanks, so yeah it's a Fuzz with resonant filter and an LFO with 4 oscillators, I used the psycho lfo as a starting point and I've been messing with that circuit for a while to get some better waveforms and such. Fuzz is if you replaced the 2nd stage of a bee baa with a jangly low gain fuzz face.

Expression controls the cut off and CV modulates with the cut off being the center point. You can use both at the same time. The CV in is on the sleeve and CV out is the tip. There's a bit of stuff going on and so here's a link to the manual page

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/3h6 ... Manual.pdf

As for the whole series of pedals, there are going to be four. The Solace State no. 2115, Everything is Alive no. 2116, and two more. Besides the solace state, all have CV control and something modulates so there's that. I'm pretty pumped for the next release, but that's for a later time.

DAMNIT those bleep bloops sound good.

[BoatRich]

Regardless of bossman being a dumbass and a Nazi sympathizer, this looks cool as shit. I love my custom EAND and I definitely want to try this out if I can make the funds work. I need something gnarly for my bass board.

[resincum]

gettin some pretty years vibes sounds awesome

[goosekevin]

BossMann......stop doing this in every fucking thread please jesus christ

pedal seems super sick! have been keen on playing around more with filters, my interest is piqued

[fuzzonaut]

Good job Ryan!

Bad job BossMann!
