Thanks so much! I hope the demo part was informative and the performance part was entertaining!

Sorry I couldn't participate in the chat. I'm not sure what happened. It just said it couldn't connect to the chat and to try again later but I was never able to see if anyone was writing anything. A friend texted me to confirm that I was in fact live!

One of the pedals, you mentioned as Fuzz Factory. Was that a Zvex? Yours has more knobs and looks like a Fairfield Circuit pedal.
I had the Chase Bliss Factory for awhile but sold it when I didn’t think I was making good use of it. It had some lovely sweet spots.

Yes, it's a clone of the Zvex Fuzz Factory. I built it into a Hammond enclosure, like Fairfield uses.

I don't even remember what the controls correspond with anymore, which is part of what I love. I'm pretty sure the two top knobs are the input and output levels but who knows which is which, lol!
I built a tone circuit which is loosely based on the big muff pi tone stack. I added a buffered output so that tone stack can have a really loud output. Nice for driving tube amps or sculpting feedback loops. I used some really nice old germanium transistors in my fuzz factory pedal.
Of course the Bliss Factory has a built in filter and it has the modulation stuff, so I know it must be a lot of fun! I bet it would get really crazy in a feedback loop.

Nice! I’m gonna need to remember this. I still need to build my Labor board, but this is exactly what I’d like to build. I might go with a wood enclosure, maybe even a cigar box.justin3am wrote: Sat Oct 25, 2025 11:05 pm Yes, it's a clone of the Zvex Fuzz Factory.

Yes, it was really interesting and sounds were cool. Informative and entertaining.
Again, I could not see a chat, or the "click to join chat" button.

Yeah, I’m not sure if I have the stream set up correctly or what... My friend Josh said he couldn’t get to the chat either. I had the chat window open but it had messages saying it couldn’t connect. No instructions about what to do.Shabdahbriah wrote: Sun Oct 26, 2025 1:14 am Again, I could not see a chat, or the "click to join chat" button.![]()
I’ll figure it out, I’m still just kinda fumbling around with settings for now.
Thanks for watching, though!

I was using Chrome in MacOS.
I still have a feeling it may be related to the way I’ve formatted the link, so next time I’m going to provide several versions of the link and see which one works.

I like the mint tins as a hand held shaker box and I’ve even attached springs and wires to them before but it’s much better to have a rigid, pre-drilled surface for studio work.elxsound wrote: Sun Oct 26, 2025 1:11 am Nice!

I have parts to make ~50 more of the tins. I’ve done a few work shops with them. Maybe I should assemble one for the stream, as part of the feedback series.
