Hi folks,

Just wanted to share a new DIY project that i'm releasing today - The Darkadiator.
It's a glitchy and gated "guitar synth" fuzz with octave down, PWM and modulation.



This DIY project started as a personal challenge. I wanted to build the Arcadiator (the same features), but using only discrete components.
But I decided to make it a bit different than the original Arcadiator to set it apart and to keep the component count reasonable.
It turned out as a very cool guitar synth: The Darkadiator (short for Discrete-Arcadiator, although it turned out quite different with some unique sounds).

More info, PCB, schematic, vero layout ect. at my blog

I hope you like it. :)

Looks great man!  I love all your stuff.  I am about to populate my Into the Unknown and get that going finally.   I had to wait for the 4015 to show up from China, which it finally did!   

The video game fuzzes have a special place in my heart.
