Mid-fi clari(not) clone

I was wanting a modulating fuzz like using a tremolo bar and I stumbled on to the Mid-Fi Clari(not) pedal. Some really unique sounds are produced with this pedal and I wanted to see if I can clone it. To my surprise a member of Madbean forums did a layout for it. I etched a PCB and went to work. Here is the outcome. I am waiting for the knobs i ordered and I will be using rubber stamps for the controls.

Sound Samples: (Logic Pro / Amp Designer with some reverb)

MidFi Clari(not) – MB DoomButter – TRANSFER

  • This is the layout I used.

MidFi Clari(not) – MB DoomButter v2 – TRANSFER

  • This layout has a fuzz lift switch. The problem is, there is still some breakup on the high end. I opted not to add the fuzz lift switch. Plus the fuzz sounds great with the LED clipping.
