Octave Fuzz with Stank

Please note that McGregor Pedals will be enjoying family time between December 21 and December 29.

Any orders placed after noon (PST) Friday December 20 will be shipped on December 30th.

The core circuit of the McGregor Pedals Octave Fuzz with Stank is designed to take a pure tone and double the hertz by inverting the positive portion of the wave, otherwise known as full rectification. This results in a fuzzy octave-up sound. With a complex signal, as you’d expect from a guitar or bass, it can get a bit wild.

A graphic representation looks like this:

As a happy accident, during development we found that if we sent too large of a signal through the "octaving" part of the circuit, the signal became positively “Stanky” (as described by a renown keyboard player).  This resulted in the Stank control on your pedal.

Controls
Vol: Note that turning up the Stank will result in a volume boost, you may need to adjust as required.
Stank: Think of this as a distortion mixed with the octave-up fuzz
Blend: Blends your signal, full left is mostly dry (it never fully dries up). Full right is completely wet.
LED Brightness (unmarked trimpot on side of pedal): As someone who plays daytime outdoor shows, I wanted a super bright LED; however, this made it horrible to use in any other situation. So, I added a trimpot to that allows you to vary the LED Brightness from dark stage to bright sun. Please make the adjustment gently using a jeweler’s screwdriver.

Tip: With the Stank up and the blend at about 10 O'clock, it behaves like a distortion with octave overtones.
