Hi,
I just did a demo of my Retrograde for the February monthly build contest and then realised that I finished my pedal at the end of January so I don't qualify.
Bummer!


Edit: seems like a do qualify after all Yippee!

Anyway, the pedal is in this thread

and here is the demo

That's some nice thick fuzz! More full-bodied than I normally associate with Octavia type pedals. What was the guitar - amp - pickup combo?

Thanks for the comment.

The guitar was a stock Fender Eric Johnson strat in drop d and the 'amp' was a software simulator, Scuffham S-Gear. My favourite amp sim software by far.

I double tracked the guitars with the octave switch on and off, the latter is much thicker but they play well together. There's also a bass in there. I'm not sure about the retrograde as a bass fuzz but that could be my cheapo $10 bass ;D

For the solo section the rhythm has the octave switch off and both guitars have the fuzz rolled down to about half.

That's more info than you asked for but I guess I'm the excitable type.

Coolio mang,building one of these hopefully next week. My guitar player asked for one.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

That is SO THICK. I love the sound and look for that matter, of that pedal. Great job.
