Hly**** - Supercollider

If it will give it similar sounds to the Fuzz God II and Fuzz Factory then I'm very much interested.

I WANT ONE SOOOO BAD!!!!!!

Hi Conor,

I'll posting more info in the next day but here is some pertinent info:

- all of the standard Supercollider sounds are there

- OSC 1 and OSC 2 stand for Oscillation. The switches engage loops within the circuit that cause it to oscillate when the guitar is not being played (or the guitar vol. has been turned down).

- OSC 1 has a great signal saturation to it and can be used as sort of a boost for solo parts or things like that.

- OSC 2 has a knob that acts as a threshold. This knob controls how soon a note will decay into the oscillating tone and along with guitar volume can produce some synthy video game like sounds. There is a bit of different texture than OSC 1 and the signal is not as intense as OSC 1.

- The beasts will cost $200 due to the extra parts and much extra labor involved. (The standard SC pedals will be going up as well due to various things..more on that later). I will probably end up a doing a pre-order up until around mid-October with a reduced price of around $180.

- Yes, I will ship to Ireland. $12 for Global Air or $24 for Global Priority (if your post office seems to be slow or shady I recommend Priority).

- I'm looking to ship the first units around Halloween.

Thanks for the interest. Check back in a day or two for official ordering info and sound clips of the noises.

I've just pre-ordered one to replace my original version. The new version with the mids knob was tempting, but this is just too much to resist!

EDIT: Mark's just replied and I'm in line for the first one, serial number #001! I like the fact that this one doesn't have the switch in the middle of the SUPERCOLLIDER text (which MkII had) and that the jacks are top mounted ( = easier to squeeze onto a pedaltrain).
