Handbuilt effects pedals for the botanically inclined

05/06/2025

Another available Sporophyte boost, sporting a matching nightshade/eggplant color scheme. My current plans for upcoming builds are all tagboard construction, so these may be the only "floating" construction Sporophytes I do, at least for now.

I have a couple of Sporophyte boosts available, this one in a psychedelic sunflower print.

Both of the units have blemishes from the glue-up and have a slight difference in the buffering from my reference design, so I am not listing these in the usual way, but get in touch if you're interested.

New fuzz, who dis? This "Not Dead Dinosaurs" oscillating phyco-fuzz is a spinoff of the Fuzzrite topology with a couple twists. One of the toggles engages low-frequency oscillations within the fuzz circuit, creating a tremolo-like effect that can be controlled by pick dynamics, guitar volume, or by changing other impedance relationships around the pedal. The effect is most pronounced when you pick lightly and is interrupted when you dig in. Other circuit changes provide greater cleanup off the guitar, giving harmonically rich "clean" sounds with lighter pick attack.

Jam is all wired up with the new pickup! The 3-way selector switch is wired like a vintage Strat (neck/middle/bridge). Flicking the added toggle switch into the "up" position connects the neck and bridge pickups in parallel, giving the stock Tele in-between sound in positions 1 and 3. In the "down" position, the Tone control is disconnected, giving maximum top-end clarity.

Best part of using a bigger enclosure for this build? Plenty of room for full-size, top-mounted jacks! I'm tempted to find reasons to add a second footswitch to my other circuits just so I can luxuriate in all the space! 😆

Wiring on this prototype tremolo is done and dusted! I see a couple areas where I could make my life easier with some additional bus wires, but I'm so pleased to see it complete. 🤩

Bending...bending... 🔧 This kind of wiring is a funny sort of 3D puzzle. So satisfying though!

Hardware and ground bus are in on this prototype enclosure! First time doing a modulation circuit—I'm super stoked for this one, folks!

I promise I'm not trying to steal your green! 😂

Paint is nearly done for this prototype enclosure! Can you guess what kind of effect it is? 🍂

I'm pretty jazzed about getting this one built so it can get off my breadboard 😆 (and onto my pedalboard 🤘).

Diecast aluminium doing its best impression of Swiss cheese. New year, new prototype! I try to keep the controls on my builds to a minimum, but I think with this effect a few extra options might be just right.

Hey hooman, can I help? What do you mean it's not that kind of fuzz?

A revisit two years on: I decided to rip the old wiring (a DIY kit) out of this enclosure and make a proper Carrion Flower prototype. This was one of the first two handpainted boxes I did (and kind of the idea that started this whole account). This fuzz is my take on the 2-transistor theme, with some tweakery to open up the filthy palate. ☠🌸
