2020 Giveaway boards

[madbean]

I will continue to do the giveaway boards for 2020 and I'm going to try to put out one per quarter. I'd like your suggestions on what free projects you'd like to have. Here are the caveats:
- They need to be fit in a 1590A.
- I'd like to keep them "N00B" or "Cowboy" level (that pretty much goes hand in had with the first restriction anyway).

I have a Slow Gear one already done so that's a possibility. But I'm not married to it. Throw out your ideas!

Slow gear sounds cool. P19 Fuzz...tiny phaser...

You've been nailing it so far.  JHS Haunting Mids would be cool. Dan Armstrong Red Ranger. Maybe a coloursound-type fixed wah for Schenker cocked wah type stuff?

[Betty Wont]

Axis Fuzz, Fuzzrite, Demo Tape Fuzz, Magnavibe.

[Tremster]

The return of the fabulous Bacon Bits!
8Ball for 1590A
Dust Bunny (Mini Silicon Tonebender)
KMA Fuzzly Bear (great fuzz pedal, low parts count)

I agree that you've picked some great projects as giveaway boards so far. The envelope filter (and the potential Slow Gear) are cool non-dirt options. Maybe other (relatively) simple modulation projects to balance out dirt. A straightforward trem?

I will say that the fritter was a great choice: I probably wouldn't have tried that project otherwise, and it's been great to play.

All of that aside: a knob-less HM-2 with controls maxed (okay, maybe some trimpots).

2-knob Bazz Fuss
parallel blender with pre-gain and clean-tone knobs
HPF / LPF crossover filter
noise gate

Have you done a cocked wah yet?

+1 for utility pedals!!

On the Utility side of the equation, perhaps a simple tone generator circuit-test-helper sorta thing (I use a little white noise generator for this, but doesn't help so much for things like filters/tone sections as its very undefined noise)

There is an app for that!

+1 for slow gear and hm-2

How about an mxr blue box?

A clean blend add-on for us bass players would be awesome

That'd be a welcome daughter board project for the shop that could be added à la carte to any project for sure.

An LM386 project like the noisy cricket could be cool as well. A break from pace a bit, but useful nonetheless. Maybe would have to be pared down for a 1590a enclosure.

Varioboost. (That would be a challenge to get into an A, especially with the dual-gang pot).
ROG Mr. EQ or Tonemender.
