oh hey this prototype thing

So someone is selling this prototype ringmod/bitcrusher/lfo thing that you made and it sounds awesome.
viewtopic.php?f=44&t=10835

Will you be making any more of these any time soon? It sounds magically musical.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

My email exchange with Doug is gone. It has been over a year. :idk: Nonetheless, I'm pretty certain he had no interest in putting the pedal into production. Hopefully Doug can chime in.

thanks Doug! the credit goes to your build though. the second clip has POG on it, and I think it has some fuzz at the end, otherwise nothing else. all the clips have me moving the knobs around while a sampler plays back the track, so folks could hear the different sounds.

It is a fun pedal, and it would be really cool if you made more available. If there would be anything I could suggest as an improvement, put an expression out for that top right knob to help with tuning the bitcrushing/ring-mod sound.

Hey Doug, even if you don't make these again, could you put up the old schematic so people can take a stab at making/modding one themselves? It sounds awesome and I am mad that I missed the opportunity to grab this.

Agreed.

This is exactly what I'm looking for in a bitcrusher. :thumb:

trust me... this pedal is AWESOME!!! i was lucky enough to grab it and couldn't be happier. an expression out for that knob would be VERY useful though. just what i wanted in a bit crusher, lots of subtle 'cleaner' bit crushing to be had... i think this would be another big hit if you made more... but that would make mine less special.... but i'm not selfish so you should crank em out!!! this along with my clari(not), pitch pirate, glitch computer and one off what? and i'm in mid-fi heaven... woohoo!!!

i breadboarded this today! (minus the lfo)
im digging it!
trying to decide what to do with it.
i kind of like the idea of a one knober, but i may try and incorporate a better lfo.

One-Knobber also also = not too expensive (presumably)!

Where can I listen to the soundclips? The BST thread is gone.
