The DIY Version of our discontinued NO. Octave fuzz

NO. comes deep from my pedal roots. From a time when internet forums ruled the pedal zeitgeist and the two knob fuzz had room to be explored. With cascaded octave generators NO. brings the chaos. Thick and with an ever-present octave.

Controls:MORE: Sets the amount of bass going into the first octave generator. Acts somewhat like a gain control.LOUD: Overall volume. This one gets loud quick.PAIN (switch) : intensity of the second octave generator.

When I was designing NO. I had several design specifications. I wanted it to be similar conceptually to the Devi Ever bit, an extreme octave fuzz, but without copying it's exact architecture. It also needed to be useful with just two knobs, and all the parts needed to be 10X. So I went back to the same source that Devi stole their schematics from, the Tim Escobedo circuit snippets archive. There I ran across the Rambler, a quick and dirty rectifier circuit using a LM386 power amp chip as its amplification source. Playing around with that circuit on a breadboard, it gave a very pure octave but it wasn't quite as piercing as what I was hoping. That's when I added in the multiplier and the input boost. That got me exactly into the range I wanted to be. The three basic blocks remained the same for the rest of its development cycle and it ended up coming down to the little details of what made it to the final build.
