This is a weird effect but quite useful especially if you like alot of synth work
as you'll be able to hear from the audio clip it makes your guitar sound kind of like
a stylophone or an old gameboy anyway if you want the stripboard laytout let me
know cause i'll have to copy it from my pencilled notes.

That is quite possibly the most awesome effect I've ever heard! Being someone who was into games when they sounded like that, I *MUST* build this into a pedal!

Awesome sound, I can't think of any use I'd have for something like this but I've got to build one, a stripboard layout would be greatly appreciated.

Is that an Escobedo circuit? Pulse Width Modulator?

yeah I think so I was high when I did it, it looks like it could be it, I made a stripboard layout
for both the LFO and the PWM bit, where did you find that?

this is the layout for the PWM part of the module and will work as it is without the LFO addon which i'll do tomorrow, but this will give you that bleep effect that you hear in the effect, which is what im guessing people will want it for

that sounded really cool. i'm not normally into electronic music, but that sounds very fun to play with. i can imagine jonny greenwood with one of these.

I really liked the effect. So much that I remixed it to go straight to the dance floor. Get your rave on.

Luckily your guitar must be in perfect tune as it matched up nice to some soft-synths.

It's called PWM Attack!

Just listened to the sound clip. My impression:

"I need the next piece of the Tri-Force!!!" :lol:
