Title: Spelling Bee Fuzz (Deadastronaut X Fuzz)
Post by: vizcities on April 06, 2021, 01:58:39 AM
Over the pandemic, I went through a period of obsessively watching tons of SNL clips from the Bill Hader/Kristen Wiig/Fred Armisen/Andy Samberg/Will Forte era. One of the top 5 was this Forte hallucination from the mid-Aughts:

In a moment of COVID-era mindless productivity, I decided to use the skit as an excuse to test Tayda's UV printing service, which meant whipping up a drawing of its final moments in Illustrator. I'm actually pretty stoked about the results:

I tried a couple different fuzzes, but eventually decided to do a Dirtbox Layouts stripboard of Deadastronaut's monumental X Fuzz. I sold my original build a few years ago, and the circuit's almost-heavy rawkness felt worthy of Tenacious D:

I was a cartoonist/illustrator in a former life, so the fact that Tayda's printing looks great is a true delight. More esoteric pedals to come!

Thanks! I've been bare boxing for years, so this feels like a whole new way of thinking about pedals  8)
