Interview with me in the current issue of Guitarist. Glad my Musima made the cut!

Here's a great new demo of the Super Unpleasant Companion, a combined FY-2 Companion Fuzz and FY-6 Superfuzz in one pedal.

Think one of these is next on my fuzz list.

Here's a prototype for a Bluesbreaker with the King of Tone mods. Not sure if I'll do a batch of these, but it's satisfied my curiosity.

This looks great Tim. If you could get this dip switches to be external this would be utterly killer!

stick some good ol Eastern Bloc artwork on it and you’ve got yourself a winner!

@NorthernStomps Good call! I think I've sold 9 of these prototypes, so there's clearly demand. I've redesigned the PCB so all four pots are external, added a switch to replace the DIP switch functions, and added a switchable boost stage because I was never quite happy with the output volume of the BluesBreaker/KOT. Should have some prototypes with the new board in about a month.

Prompted by a recent discussion on here I'm also doing a batch of C/K buffers. Same tiny enclosure, but switchable between the C or K circuit.

love the utility perk

timhulio · May 2018

Thanks! It's one of my favourites.

I saw that yesterday, that's me who repeatedly asks for a UK makers special in the YouTube comments. Some nice positive comments about the Dresden.

Here's a special edition of the Super Unpleasant Companion in WHITE (even the PCBs are white, just because) for Regent Sounds in London.

Any word on these? Would definitely be interested.

I made this! It sounds good. Check out the mini pots I had to use to get everything to fit nicely. I've been a little busy recently with other models, but I'll get a batch of enclosures fabricated and roll this pedal out in the near future.

hey @timhulio what's happening with this zeitnik guitar mentioned in the guitarist interview?
am curious to see it & sure i'm not the only one.

we seem to have similarly aligned (maligned) noisy-gear-perv tastes (shinei & musima) so the prospect of you designing a guitar interests me bigtime.

any prototype pics or vids? decisions settled re onboard electrics? what's the score?

timhulio · July 2018

Oh yeah! What do you have in the way of Musima? I do have some news about this. The prototype is finished, but there's more to be done, in that some things need to be changed. Since this is a work-in-progress thread, I guess this is the best place for an update. I'll get some pics together shortly.

timhulio · August 2018

Out now! New demo coming soon!

UnclePsychosis · August 2018

Nice. I've always liked the Square Wave fuzz although I suspect my neighbours won't...

timhulio · August 2018

Here's a prototype for a limited run of an effect everyone has been calling-out for! This is the Bohm Trick Verzerrer circuit with original NOS East German transistors! Gain + bias trimmers externalised as mini pots. Really happy with this. How does it sound? Wait and see!

Here's a demo of the special edition Regent Sounds Super Unpleasant Companion, by the guys are Regent Sounds.

Howdy, Stranger!
