Digital stuttery madnes

by Matt on Monday 16 January 2012

Here's a pedal that a friend introduced me to, made by a company called MWFX, who I had never previously heard of. As far as I can tell, it uses some kind of digital or sample and hold chip, triggered by a momentary switch, to get some awesome stuttery sounds. There are clips on the website which are well worth checking out, and I'm hoping that I can figure out how to do something similar on my own.


Not only does it sound cool, but it comes in what looks like a solid wodden box


Cool looking new (by which I mean VERY old) transistors

I was browsing the cyber shelves over at Doctor Tweek the other day, and came across some really cool looking transistors, OC602s, which predate the first fuzz pedal (Maestro Fuzz Tone), and were in fact used in the first German transistor radio. At £2.50 a pop, these had to tried, right? Then, when they came in the post, I realized that I hadn't properly looked at the picture, and not only did the description make them sound cool, but they looked even cooler.
