op amp muff + chorus

This pedal was designed after I had first discovered Fleshwater. Their sound was mesmerizing and was a huge part of the reason I fell into the new wave of "shoegaze"

It has changed my guitar playing and musical influences immensely over the last year and a half.

This is the V2 version. Compacted for the smallest pedalboards. knob layout is the same as the larger version

This circuit is one half op amp muff, one half PT2399 chorus.

The op amp muff is a very interesting circuit- it is an op amp fuzz, not at all like the 4 transistor typical muff. However, it sounds surprisingly, still like a big muff. This is heavily due to the unique tone control of the big muff.

It has a much more linear, and refined, less raw gain structure, that is very similar to rat, but somehow still retains the wall of sound thing that the muff is known for.

it also has a tone bypass, for a more neutral, flat frequency response sound.

the chorus- this is the same circuit used in the phonic relapse. I like this chorus circuit because it makes me feel something. It has its own unique voice, like a cloudy memory of a very mystical, and calm, safe space where the weight of the world feels lifted off your body

it features a simple layout, depth, rate, and blend

the blend is unique in that it blends 50/50 chorus to fully wet, vibrato. essentially it is a chorus to vibrato blend.

these circuits come together to make the most floaty, fuzz lathen music that allows the pain of existence to seep through sound.
