Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

it seemed to behave with a kind of gate property (prolly how the thrashold pot is utilised). more attack on the notes means it's more likely to come through and cross the threshold into ... um.. noise..

I added the home-wrecker mod of the .001uF caps on the imput/output signals to tame it a bit, but made that the toggle switch so IB can engage the extra untamedness at his leisure... and also made the freq pot 250K as they also suggested.. am told it adds a bigger freq range..

yeah ive noticed that the thrash seemed to cut out like a noise gate when turned one way, when fully that way acts like a glitchy noisegate 8) letting random noise through and gating the rest
i think it'll be a pedal i have to learn how to use with its little quirks and stuff, absolutly loving it though, very unique sounding thing,

Yep, similar but different is right. The OCD seems to have a lot of artifacty craziness going on over/behind the notes you're playing. Very cool.

Fun with fuzz, long may it continue!

1, you can read the numbers, and 2, you can solder, and a nice job of of it you done too, and i like the extra detail on the PCB,nice touch, 8)
