Title: Deadend FX Wurmloch
Post by: soldersqueeze on January 16, 2022, 06:39:03 PM
My continuing mission, to build all the ring modulators....

This is a Wurmloch, PCB from Deadend. Based on the Death By Audio Space Ring with an added blend and "Wormhole" control, it's pretty bonkers but a lot of fun. Far less versatile and powerful than the String Ringer I recently completed, it covers a few of the sounds well and is a great solution for someone looking for bonkers noise but not something as complex as that.

There are a few wierd parts that you'll probably not have laying around but it's a pretty simple build once you get them. The layout is nice and clean and you can make it more compact than I have if you don't share my distrust of board mounted switches.

Nice build. I like Deadend's boards but I find that I always prefer to tweak the control layouts to my liking.  While not driven by distrust of board mounting, it still creates some extra steps and coordination, which I can appreciate in your build.

It's does choppy square trem through to nasty atonal ring mod goodness. If you can get the parts without much hassle it's worth a build if you like your bass/ guitar to sound super nasty.

Thank you, I do like to customise the looks of my builds a bit, and not doing proper art on them leaves me little option but to mess with the layouts!
