Title: Retrograde with big knobs :)
Post by: Rockhorst on October 11, 2014, 08:33:18 PM
Built an Octavia fuzz on a Retrograde board. Massive, massive fuzz. The fuzz control is actually quite useable throughout it's sweep, from overdrive like tones to a big wall of fuzz with some sputtering. Could've been boxed in a much smaller enclosure, but the guy I built it for had expressed interest in these knobs quite a number of times...And they do look very good indeed :)

I still lurk around here daily, just haven't had that much time to box stuff up (and I only post if I'm particularly liking the build, of course). But, I've been working on a few projects that I'll be presenting real soon ;)

I think those are called K-nobs when they get that size. Big enclosure too and massive fuzz tone.
It's classic.
