Dunwich Amplification General Discussion

Sometimes you gotta put the Wizard on a synth.

Yes. What is the Spatial Rift doing? It almost sounds like there's an octave down happening in there...?
Analog octave down and a fuzz, parallel and series signal routing so lots of interesting ideas like using the octave down for your clean blend and driving the fuzz with your regular signal and blending that all together
 
Very cool. Are they/it for sale?

I only built 1 so far. I did do a re-design since then that simplifies the design a bit that I will likely offer in a very short run.

After building the first one I don't think running the octave down through the fuzz is as useful as just running it in parallel to the fuzz. So the simpler design keeps the fuzz the same, it just makes the octave down your clean blend. That allowed me to drop 2-3 controls. Running the octave down in the effected signal ended up being more useful for the temporal rift since its a time based effect vs this pedal.

Here are some clips of the Bass Overdriver vs the ODB. I tried to match volumes as best I can.

Using my Geddy Lee J slightly favouring the bridge pickup.





Gear Used
MIM Fender Geddy Lee Jazz with Fender America Vintage '74 Pickups and Dunlop Super Bright Stainless Steel strings
Aguilar TH500
Bergantiono NV412
Zoom Q2N

Clips

Clean

Bass Overdriver medium gain (bass, treble and tone set to noon, no clean blend)

Olde Dirty Bass medium gain (bass, treble at noon, mids off/flat)

Bass Overdriver high gain (same EQ and blend settings)

Olde Dirty Bass high gain (same EQ settings)

aimless noodling with my typical Bass Overdriver settings (treble and bass noon, tone 10 o'clock, blend 30% clean)
