The Thundering Mantis Fuzz

[Freppo]

Hi folks,

Here's a new one - The Thundering Mantis Octave Fuzz.

It's a simple one-knob fuzz with both one octave down and one octave up, for very synthy and glitchy sounds. Nothing super special, but I figured out how to create both octave up and down using the CD4007 (which I haven't seen anyone do before) so I figured that I had to make a DIY project out of it. :)

Thank you! Very cool build. What kind of decal are you using?
It looks so thick (in a good way) and sharp. :)

What do you think of the Thunder Mantis?
I know that it's pretty much a one trick pony...

Just using some vinyl sticker paper i got off amazon. My plan is to start epoxying them, but i'm impatient and don't like to wait lol. The one great thing about the vinyl is i can make the artwork and drill the box etc in one day. It doesn't lift up like waterslide decals do when you drill them sometimes and i don't have to wait for a clear coat to dry. I've built like 8 pedals in the past week.

I'm digging the mantis. The glitchyness reminds me of my old oc-2. I made it for my friend i jam with so i haven't heard it on guitar yet. have you tried it in front of a envelope filter? with a bass its crazy synthyness.
