The Please Steal My Idea Thread

[EBK]

I've got too many ideas and too little time.  I suspect others may feel the same about themselves.  However, there may be some of you who have more time than ideas, and you folks can probably make people happy by bringing to life some extra otherwised unused ideas.  So, let's dump some ideas here, whether complete or half-baked, and let others run with them.  Sound good?

I'll start with these:


Idea: I'd like to see someone build a pedal using macaroni art for graphics (with alphabet pasta labels).


Idea: I'd like to see someone build a pedal named Resting Bitch Face (my wife used the phrase recently, and it struck me as awesome  ).

I'd like to see a pedal named "Muff Squeezer" in honor of Donald Trump.

low pass filter around 220hz -> sub octave generator
high pass filter around 165hz -> big muff clipping circuit
blend (bypassed by switching octave-out jack)
some sort of tone stack

inspired by a two-piece metal band I saw
breadboarded but I quickly gave up trying to troubleshoot. Will give another stab at it

Idea:  How about a pedal with aesthetics and construction inspired by one of these?

Reminds me... Was going to clone the Camel Toe and call it...

These fuzz names are just terrible

I had an idea for a pedal to be called Log Arrhythmia which would use log - antilog generation but it would be terrible for anything with more than one note at a time because of intermodulation.  It still might work on a theremin.

My cousin had one of those!

Yeah, once fuzz became muff in the 70s it has been downhill.

Any pranksters out there?  There might be enough time for you to design and build one of these musically unuseful ideas before April 1^st (and, yes, I did at one time fully intend to unleash both of these upon the unsuspecting world  ):

1.  The Swear Jar:  an envelope detector triggers the replacement of the normal audio with a 1kHz "bleep" (optionally a different, more musical frequency).  Bonus points for a remotely-activated design, especially one that could work with a microphone.

2.  The B♭us (B flatus), or more discretely named, Beef Lattice:  Notch filters remove B♭ frequencies and a farty sound of corresponding magnitude is inserted.

You been fermenting those chia seeds, Eric?

A Burst Box clone!

Here you go Eric
my version of an enveloped tremolo. Speed up or speed down.

Could be fun to implement one of those record/playback modules and have pre-recorded swear words inserted into the signal path at sporadic intervals.

Build an overdrive using instrumentation opamps.

Dammit!

I don't actually have any ideas floating around, but I feel like this thread is going to be important later, so I have to jump in while it's still on page 1

Idea:  An op amp circuit that saturates with modulated power rail voltages.  (I suppose it doesn't have to be an op amp, but it was an op amp datasheet that sparked the idea.)

Like a clean/dirty tremolo?

Maybe.  Depends on the shape and frequency of your modulating signal, I suppose.
