This is definitely my favorite thing that I have done all around. Have no idea when the demos will come out but super excited about those. Going to be around 5 of them, I think. It's super slow building them but think I am pretty caught up to where I want to be at the moment. I'm kinda anxious to get back to my Bath Salts project which is a frankenstein of Tim Escobedo's Ugly Face, Anchovie's Noise Ensemble, Devi's Hyperion, RG Keen's Adjusticator mixer, and a little bit of Blue Box. If I can get that done before the end of the year this will be a productive year for me. I keep getting sidetracked by the fucking germanium transistors so I should put them in a vault for awhile!

Re: CYST MODE
I hope you will like it! I have gotten some pretty good feedback so far which makes me happy. I think a few people have the first version but haven't heard about how they compare. The new one is much different but I think anyone who dig the OG version will did this one. One important note I left out of the manual. In the fuzz modes, I noted the bass can be very extreme (which is also a part of the fun) and noted that this can be adjusted by lowering the LO knob which cuts/boost the bass and also turning the EQ knob clockwise to taste for more high end of the filter. What I forgot to mention is that also rolling back your guitar volume works great to in conjunction with the LO and EQ controls. I imagine some folks not digging the fuzz modes but they are the main reason I built this version as I just always have fun playing them. I also like the normal distortion filter side too a lot much more on this version as it has more of a crystallized and compressed quality I think mainly due to the HI and LO controls which are basically just the HI and LO circuit from the Hyperfuzz. I also discovered that this version works pretty awesome with bass, 1st version sounded awesome except for too much high end but rolling back the HI knob remedies this. I had tested this out for a friend who wanted one but is primarily a bass player and wanted to make sure it could roll with bass, he has since confirmed so that's awesome news to me!UglyCasanova wrote:Just paid for mine today!

Re: CYST MODE
Just got the Cyst Mode in to try out.
Sounds great! Lots of static filter and envelope/dynamic
sounds available. Just dipping my toe into it so far but
at first play though it's very promising. Nice work Sir!

Re: CYST MODE
Got it in today and only played a little bit so only just scratching the surface, but loving what I'm hearing so far! Such a variety of sounds, from pretty overdrive, endless sustain, squelching, rocking fuzz.
