You may place instead, the OM first and Big Muff after if you want to use “more wet” settings (I mean, the blend control going past 12 o’clock) so you can boost and fuzz the deep octave sound.
So true — sounds great running a les paul into the OM then the BMP then my fender red knob twin

It’d be nice in a XO box as Stereo Pulsar, #1 Echo… etc.Regards.

Whoa, just thought of something….
A fuzz pedal with a slider for octave down…to one, two…or….THREE octaves for distorted farting buzzing sounds.. or anywhere in between.
maybe another slider for octaves up and up too….
maybe this is just expanding the octave range and control in the micro synth…but like so many others, i need to hear two octaves down with my fuzz.
mattcaseyMemberQuote:Quote:wouldn’t you need two pedals to do stereo in and out?how would you be able to have two signals go into one circuit and come out as two separate signals?
The main idea is that if the pedal before it has stereo outs, then you don’t lose the stereo effects of that pedal as long as the next pedal also has stereo ins and outs.
i understand that, and its a cool concept, i’m just curious if it’s even possible — it sounds like you’d be getting two circuits enclosed in one pedal…why not buy two and alter each in/out independently..because of money?
mattcaseyMemberwouldn’t you need two pedals to do stereo in and out?
how would you be able to have two signals go into one circuit and come out as two separate signals?
mattcaseyMemberif it’s outta warranty, why not open it up and take a look inside?
check connections — compare it to stuff you find online.
mattcaseyMemberhell yes! thanks EH MAN, you are my hero!
mattcaseyMembersweet, made a recreation of the big muff in vector for my wallpaper. here’s a 72ppi gif at 1680×1050

edit: now if i can only figure out the octave multiplexer typeface…
https://www.ehx.com/blog/electro-harmonix-goes-to-russia-1979mattcaseyMembersweet, i’ll check out some of those — add tonepad to the list too. and i just found weber for and ax84 for amp builds.
instructibles and makezine are also good sources for electronics projects.
edit: and music from outer space has sweet synth projects i wanna get into.
mattcaseyMembercan anyone recommend a good/fast way to do this?
mattcaseyMemberif it helps anyone, i have one, i really like it.
i demoed it twice over a few months and got an english muff’n in between.
even still, i bought a double muff. it’s a very simple concept, but still diverse for what it is.
others might disagree, but i think i get a pretty similar sound from the 2 muffs as i do with my english muff’n.
i don’t like fussing with eq controls on my muffn though, so i’d say the double muff is WELL worth the $30 is costs used.
[edit] i might add that it’s not great after any effects. but it is nice as a boost before other ODs to get some high gain.
mattcaseyMemberadd tube zipper to the mix, right between the double muff and micro synth.
btw, just been messing with the microsynth’s frequency rate and attack delay going into the tube zipper. pretty crazy swells!
mattcaseyMemberQuote:Congrats on your new pedal!I’m a sucker for pedals with a plethora of controls, and the Tube Zipper definitely fits that bill.
I look at it this way – EHX pedals, like the Flanger Hoax, or the HOG, or the SMMH, or the Micro Synthesizer – they are instruments in and of themselves. The more you practice with them, the more intuitive you get with them. Once you get comfortable with the interactions of the knobs, you won’t really need to write settings down anymore. You’ll be able to recall them either from memory, or by the logic of their controls.
That’s exactly why i love my ehx pedals! I’ve had the day off and have been planning on getting other stuff done, but i’m absorbed in the world of the tube zipper now, going on 5 hours with it!
Anyone else have one and able to tell me if the drive knob is unusually tight on theirs or if they have intense light coming from inside of it?
Thanks!
mattcaseyMemberthere’s so much out now to get, but still so much i’d want to see — deluxe big muff RI, drums, fuzz wah
mattcaseyMemberi’d definitely get a tube amp in pedal form.
kinda would like to see a RI series of dirt road amps featuring built in clones, stones and muffs, or any other 1-knob pedal (inspired by the dirt road’s small stone). but definitely NOT digital effects modelers
mattcaseyMember…still not making sense to me…still can’t fit a 12″ speaker in your pocket…
guess i’m just skeptical
