CURRENTLY IN STOCK & FOR SALE:


The Chaos Cube is a simple, hardwired analog synth/noisemaking device. It has a single square wave tone generator and 2 square wave LFOs that can be routed and controlled in a variety of ways. It also features an audio input that can use an external audio source to trigger/control the tones emanating from within. Screeching, rumbling, bleeping, blooping fun!
- Stylish UFO-meets-coffeetable enclosure made from wood and steel, with blinking lights!
- 1 square wave tone generator, 2 square wave LFOs
- Pitch control via knob or light dependent resistor
- Audio input with depth control
- Starve control to induce erratic circuit behavior
- ¼” input and output
- 9V power supply included in U.S.
- $250


The Chaos Pedal is basically the same circuit as the Chaos Cube, just subtly optimized for instrument processing. It has a single square wave tone generator and 2 square wave LFOs that can be routed and controlled in a variety of ways. It has both gain and depth controls for the audio input, which allows for a wider variety of audio sources and sounds.
- Cast aluminum enclosure
- True bypass with indicator LEDs
- 1 square wave tone generator, 2 square wave LFOs
- Pitch control via knob or ¼” input jack (for LDR or expression pedal)
- Audio input with gain and depth controls
- Starve control to induce erratic circuit behavior
- Tone control for better cooperation with amplifiers
- ¼” input and output
- 9V power supply included in U.S., or can be battery powered
- $250


The Catalyst Fuzz is a high-gain silicon-transistor fuzz with a post-fuzz active 3-band EQ. It is not polite or subtle—-the EQ allows you to dial in everything from bassy synth-tones to painful, trebly screech. Designed to work equally well with guitar, bass, or keyboard.
- High gain fuzz with controls for intensity and volume
- Active 3-band EQ with controls for bass, mid, and treble
- Cast aluminum enclosure
- True bypass with indicator LED
- Powered from 9-volt battery or power supply
-$165


The Harmonic Annihilator is a raunchy, raucous 1970’s-ish fuzz pedal. Inspired by but not necessarily a clone of the fabled Interfax Harmonic Percolator.
- Cleans up well with guitar volume control
- Tones from slightly fuzzy to harsh and sizzling
- Controls for Gain, Bias, Tone, and Volume
- True bypass with indicator LED
- Cast aluminum enclosure
- 9V battery-powered.
- $SOLD OUT, more coming very soon!


The Optical Theremin isn’t really a theremin, but a squarewave tone generator that uses a light-dependent resistor or a control knob to adjust pitch. More light shining on the LDR causes a rise in pitch. There is also a squarewave LFO onboard that can modulate the pitch of the tone generator. Covers all of your drone or noise needs, from sci-fi swoops to rhythmic pulses.
- Pitch can be controlled by LDR or knob.
- Controls for Pitch, LFO Speed, LFO Depth, and Volume
- LED to indicate LFO speed
- Cast aluminum enclosure
- 1/4” output
- 9V Boss-style power jack, or can be battery powered
- This is an instrument, not an effect!
- $125


The Dual Delay is comprised of 2 independent digital delay circuits housed in a single enclosure. Each delay is capable of around 1 second of delay time (can get very lo-fi!) and runaway repeats, combined with extensive routing and control options as well as LFO control. 8 knobs, 2 toggle switches, 12 jacks, 3LEDs, and weird sounds—not for the timid. This is intended for heavy experimentation, not Pink Floyd covers.
- Mono or stereo input and output
- Controls for Delay time, Repeats, and Delay volume for each delay
- LFO with controls for Speed and Depth can modulate either delay, with rate indicator LED
- Expression pedal inputs to control delay time and repeats for each delay.
- ¼” send and return jacks for routing delay signal through separate effects or tapping wet-only signal
- 12V power supply included in U.S.
- Cast aluminum enclosure
- $275
