Laser I

A frequency multiplier fuzz that saturates the signal with wild overtones, vicious upper harmonic clang, and synth-like cacophony. The circuit randomly folds the signal to create multiples of the input frequencies, producing something between an octave fuzz and otherworldly laser sounds.

The Intensity knob controls how aggressively frequencies are multiplied. At lower settings the tone is gated and glitchy. Cranked up, it piles on bizarre metallic sounds and unforgiving fuzz. The three-position Wave Shape switch selects Smooth to tame transients, Harsh for full clang, or Combo splitting the difference.

Chords sound beautifully mangled at higher settings. Works particularly well on bass. Handmade near Philadelphia, PA.
