You can’t have “boutique” effects without fuzz, right? I actually made the furry enclosure about a year ago, I knew it just had to house some kind of fuzz but I only recently found a circuit that was “worthy”. So here it is, the Big Brown Beaver: a comparator fuzz with hyper-compressed, gated square wave output. Controls are sensitivity and output volume. Features bright blue LED for that extra bit of “boutiqueness”.

Also, as a bonus, a picture of another fuzz project I’ve worked on. It’s like a cross between a silicon Fuzz Face and a Fuzz Factory, just in case I ever need something more “classic” yet flexible.
