EHX microsynth squarewave fuzz (or suggest another squarewave fuzz)

Congrats, I'm happy you got this to work. So you'd say you stripped it down just right?

yeah, I'm very happy with how it turned out.
I thought it might've needed some filtering on the output, but the squarewave sound good to me.
The octave up maybe does need some of the highs shaved of the top.

Question for those who know more about OTA's than me - should I utilise the onboard buffer, for the output of the squarewave signal? I can't see why not, but I didn't on my proto...

I didn't notice the octave up sounding thin on my original, I would say it just adds more midrange to the overall sound, kind of hollow-sounding. The octave up notes actually seem to sound louder than the base note. The tracking certainly isn't perfect; sometimes you can hit the same note and not get the same octave up behavior. It depends a lot on your pick attack.

One board claimed, still got one spare. if anyone's keen, PM me

I ran pretty fast and loose with some of my component values, just so I could finish my build rather jam heading out to buy parts, so that could account for some differences. It's a very fuzzy octave up

I'm going to compare the octave up in the lowrider, I think they share a similar topology. I'll see if there are any differences.

Hallo, im sorry im resurrecting an old post, but this one seemed to be a succesful one. I m a bassist  looking fot that synth tone too, would it be possible to upload final schematic again? I imagine there are no pcbs Left. Thanks a lot,
