Bandwrecker Deluxe

The Bandwrecker is Madbean's extension of John Hollis' "Crash Sync" circuit,which you can probably find several demos of on CZcams, since it is a pleasingly simple circuit. Madbean extended that circuit, adding an LFO to modulate the duty cycle. I pushed it a little farther, adding envelope control of the duty cycle. It's a pretty wild little box that holds many possibilities - none of them particularly polite or clean. These two builds are nominally identical but the same controls are laid out a little differently and the DIY vactrol has slightly different characteristics. VERY loud little demons.

Pretty cool, almost seems like a bit crush, mixed with a filter and some delay.

Glad you enjoyed it. Some pedals are just plain fun.

I’ve been learning about and building pedals for about two years now. Lately your name and ideas keep popping up, is there a place where you post schematics and layouts?
