Five Nights at Freddy's is a computer game.  It's only $5 at steam.
I haven't played it, but it's rated very highly.

Wish I'd said that when I'd mentioend the reason for the graphics, LOL. 

Yes, I've played the game, got a bit deep into it from a gameplay/business standpoint for a time.  It's basically a game series based around a Chuck E. Cheese ripoff where you sit in a room all night and fend off what amount to creepy animatronics all evening.  Kind of addicting like an old Atari game.  That was also the whole reason teh video I posted had that obnoxious long introduction - I was parodying the "phone guy" from the game at the beginning, lol.

I tend to name my pedals (unless I'm to commercially produce them or make them for sale, meaning, a production version would have a different name and far more original artwork) after a video game series when in development, or some other thing I like.  I also have a "Super Fuzzi-O" device ( a play on Super Mario Bros. and The Cars Candy-O album) that I created on accident when breadboarding this one.

Probably going to be awhile between this pedal and the next, I'm playing with VCO, Schmidt Triggers, JFETs and other stuff currently.  Sort of looking to build something Chiptune-ish.  Like this, will probably have it sitting on a breadboard for months while I move things around/blow a few things up and learn.  Did some playing with an NTE40106 last Thursday and was able to eek out a square wave signal from a guitar on it (but with the awful oscillator drone in the back of course) and make some alterations using the other oscillators and even a transistor at one point (!!).  Going to pick up a NTE4046 today to play around with as well.

My biggest motivation with pedals is to just learn how to roll my own stuff and get my own sound.  Plugged that FazzFuzz in at rehearsal last week and was VERY pleased with how it sounded.  The intermittant feature has also been very handy, and it mixes with my amp's tube overdrive extremely well.

Very clean build, I dig it

Nice! It looks like my pedal's style.
What board did you use? I guess I found a verified veroboard layout, but it is almost unknown, I found it by accident.

Here's the link: http://guitar-fx-layouts.42897.x6.nabble.com/AmpTweaker-Tight-Metal-td9212.html
It needs just the double voltage board with ICL7660S or similar.

Here's a dirty phone vid along with my "Micro Muff"

Wait at least one hour between eating and hitting that mod button!

My first full pedal build, clone of the TC Electronic Integrated Preamp.  Thanks Digi2t and Slacker for the veroboard layouts and for answering my questions!

[digi2t]

Sweet! I have two of them on my pedalboard. Great as a buffer, tone shaper, or a drive. Like a swiss army knife.

Just finished the tonepad Small Stone and man.... What a pedal.   You need to build this one!!!   I'll post pics of it all boxed up when I get my enclosures in the mail.   Now to get my ce-2 clone working.   Think I'm having problems with fake chips....

I had one of the green Russian ones in the 90s.  I don't know what the Stones used (you might say over-used) on Some Girls, but that's what it sounded like.  Honestly I got more use out of the wooden box it came in, used to pack my toiletries in there for deployments.  Literally took that box around the world.  I guess you could say I'm not much of a phaser guy, though I am considering a P-90 build for some reason.

5150 ready.

Just because I have not posted any pictures in a long time...

A simple DA Fuzz Face w/charge pump voltage inverter.  PNP Germanium, AC128's.

Made from loose parts... still using up stuff that I got from Mike (HaveYouSeenHim) in Alabama.

Interesting because it is all big honker mojo parts on homemade eyelet (turret) PCB.  Enjoy!

Thanks!

And the knobs are from a brand called Ritel.  I was looking for similar knobs to the real thing, and I found out Ritel made the knobs for the originals. They even still make the same style however that size only fits on 4mm shaft pots. This larger size is the smallest one that fits on 6mm shafts, model G15 if I recall correctly. Kind of a cool setup since you can choose different style caps or skirts to go with the main knob bit.

I bought them from tme.eu as they were the only supplier I could find that had an English option on their website.  I probably paid more than I should have for a set of knobs. There's a bunch of similar style knobs on eBay very cheap from China, but they're all grey so I assume they're meant to be painted.
