Little Lightning Devices Arcade Synth Fuzz

Little Lightning Devices are hand built locally here in Canberra, Australia.

This is one crazy little box! PLL style square wave fuzz, with 2 blendable harmony voices that are analog and wild. Not for those looking for perfect, predictable pitch shifting - but for those looking for fun, arcade style synth fuzz that has a bit of a mind of its own. Super fun for lead or riffing, also a good one for bass! Give it a try and see for yourself.

This is not an original design - rather an effect I didn't have easy access to and wasn't sure enough to buy before trying. So found some schematics and built my own. In the process of building I decided to condense the layout as much as I could so it might better fit on a pedalboard where real estate is at a premium.

Controls:

Fuzz - level for the pedals main voice, square wave fuzz sound.

Int A/B - level for the 2 harmonies, selected by the mode switch

Volume - master volume control

Track / Mod - these two are interactive and set both frequency and modulation for the harmony voices. Hard to fully describe, but control how smooth or wild the glide from note to note will be. I find these are just best to play with to experience what they do.

Mode (side rotary switch) - selects the intervals for the 2 harmonies.

Note - This pedal is a true bypass design and runs on standard 9v DC power. I've found it tracks best first in line in your signal chain.
