Bandwrecker Deluxe

The Bandwrecker is Madbean's extension of John Hollis' "Crash Sync" circuit,which you can probably find several demos of on UA-cam, 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.

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?

cool, how did i find this? I don't even watch anything music related so its cool to find this!

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