2014 Miscellaneous


The Amitron, a quick and dirty beat-mangler designed to make drum-machines sound like whoa. Half-synth, half high-gain fuzz – all square-waves, all the time. Currently under the employ of Ami Dang of Baltimore, Md.

Another clone of Mid-Fi Electronics’ Random Number Generator. Fun to build, great to have, highly recommended. Currently on the loose somewhere in Baltimore.

A formant filter run into a 4-transistor fuzz/glitch circuit. I used the blue and green channels of an RGB led so when both effects are engaged it almost matches the color of the box. Potentially somewhere at large in San Francisco.

Another variation on our oft-repeated 4-transistor fuzz build, this time in sea foam and pink. This one lives in Chicago with the band Wilco.

A 3-oscillator optical tremolo of sorts based on the Tremulus Lune, but with a different oscillator section – also has a blend knob that transitions from audio input to oscillators, allowing you to use it as a primitive synth/noise generator as well.

The Bee Box – 2 channels, 7 gain stages. Loud, proud and glitchy. Also has a bee on it.

Number 45 – a quick stab into the world of multi-effects. Channel 1 is a Pejibaye overdrive. Channel 2 is a 4-transistor fuzz. Channel 3 is a 4-bit shifter controlled formant filter. Built special to ride shotgun with Mark M. in Providence, RI.
