Coming soon... end of September/early Octoberish.
Designed specifically to recreate the sound of an old radio. Not a fuzz (although there is a little bit of distortion), works well at the beginning or end of the signal chain, can be used on line level signals and vocals too.
Shown is the prototype, there will probably be a mini-switch added to select between two different filters (think: telephone and radio).

Hmm, sounds interesting.
Could you tell us more about the filter? Is it a high-pass filter?

Now with more switches!!!

Switchable stage high pass filter and sweepable tone goes from band pass to high pass to low pass. 6 possible combinations with lots of grey areas in between. Nails many of those recorded 'radio' and lo-fi tones. Almost no distortion, i'm sure you have plenty of those fuzzy pedals no need too go there. Works well after a buffer and also works on keys and drum machines. Demo... tomorrow maybe>?

I think it sounds pretty good.
How does it sound before dirt?
Also, any idea yet on the price?

under $100 for sure
before dirt it can be really treble-y, but it depends on the pedal... before a big muff it makes a naaasssssty cutting crunchy death ray, before a ds-1 you wanna stuff kleenex in your ears.
there will be drum machine, vocal and bass demos soon.
