Nasty Shock

If you're a fan of signal smashing there's nothing unpleasant about this one...

Capable of some fairly 'normal' compressed fuzz tones, but it really starts to shine when you mash things up a bit. Crank up the Onset knob and flip those Gain, Crush and Treble switches to see how messed up you like it. You may be surprised.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.
