Fuzz with Silicon Germanium Blend Knob? Karma Suture Review. And... ideal fuzz pedal?

A non- destructive brain scan has been commercialized. Wealthy people can achieve electronic immortality of a sort in a number of competing "heavens". The eworld of "Silicon Karma" is, by choice, close to upper- middle class norms outside. A new citizen of "Virtual City" clunk gets the basics of elife with his price of admission, but luxuries must be earned - or stolen. Albert Pillock is a retired cop. He's been recruited by the AI that runs Virtual City to track down mysterious drains on its resources and missing persons, and is promptly killed.

Fortunately, he'd backed up three days earlier. But the host computer has strong civil rights written into its basic code. And Lisa has an outside line to a disgruntled employee of the parent company Characters and dialog ring true barring the odd clunk but it's basically a novel of ideas. Good ideas, well-thought-out ideas, a steady stream of ideas. Artificial-life ecologies are a hot topic in computational science, and Easton's biology background allows some fresh insights. Easton, a biology professor at Thomas College in Maine, is Analog's long-time book reviewer.

His previous "Organic Future" novels were interesting but IMO marred by implausibilities and excessive cuteness eg "roachsters" for cars. Review copyright Peter D. One person found this helpful. Like so many good books Silicon Karma becomes a state of mind. At one moment it is a techno-thriller, the next a fantasy and overall a great science fiction yarn. The characterization is solid and the story line a joy to follow. The world created by Mr. Easton is intelligent and believable.

This is the first cyber novel I have read in large part due to my impression mistaken or not that many of them are too nihilistic to be something I honestly would enjoy reading. Silicon Karma was enjoyable to the point of distraction.

Basic utility, but not an inspiration machine. For comparison, I've had a Fuzz God II did spit to cream pretty well, but sounded too "happy" to my ears , a Torn's Peaker and a Soda Meiser good thick sounding pedals Gain, Volume, 3 Band EQ knobs plus A knob that controls spitty to creamy.

Octave down with blend knob. Octave up with blend knob. Silicon to Germanium blend knob. Any custom makers out there I could have make one? Oct 11, 2. Pretty sure you'd need to talk to Paul Trombetta about this There's a waiting list though to get something from him. Empros , Oct 11, Oct 11, 3. Lolaviola , Oct 11, Oct 11, 4. Good call on the Octron.

That would pretty much do it. Then it would just be a matter of putting the right fuzz in the loop. Oct 11, 5. It isn't in the nature of fuzz to split the frequencies like that. They usually have a tone knob at most, which really just rolls off the highs. Sometimes a 'fat' knob which controls the output cap. But again, both are passive cuts really. If you get a 3 band EQ, it will actually be adding a while new section to the circuit.

This would be a bias knob. Pretty common these days Octave down with blend knob. This circuit has nothing to do with fuzz. It will basically have to be a second circuit entirely in the same enclosure, even if on the same board. You can have an octavia fuzz, but I dont think thats the kind of octave up you're talking about, especially if you want to blend it, which you cant do on an octavia.

Sounds like you're talking more POG style, which would have the same story a the octave down. Several pedals have this now as you know, including the Spaceman Gemini etc. The problem is that most Ge and Si transistors have vastly different outputs, so it's tricky. So it'll have to be a dual pedal in one case, or 2 separate pedals. ProtoGuitars , Oct 11, Oct 11, 6. Germanium doesn't have a "sound" on its own. And you don't have to take my word on this: Joe Gore, RG Keen, and many others have talked about this.

Fuzzes made with germanium tend to be much lower gain and thus certain types clean up more quickly because the transistors are lower gain and have leakage characteristics that can be and have been faked with silicon. Diode clipping with germanium clipping is more clipped because the the diodes have a lower forward voltage and there are silicon diodes with similar characteristics that often can't be distinguished.

Anyway, your list is Basically, you're looking for a small pedalboard's worth of circuitry in a single pedal. No one's going to make that stock. Analog octave pedals need to be placed before fuzz to track properly, so you're not going to be able to have any fuzz that has to be right after the guitar. Also, this is not a small circuit. Think BB-sized just for the octave down and "octave up" really just an extremely fuzzy rectified signal, which is usually pretty gross sounding.

I won't even get into the fact that analog octave pedals use a clock and potentially the builder faces an FCC fine for building it if it's not an existing tested product This would be a bias or voltage control. A blend control for germanium vs. It's going to be two fuzzes. That means a bias control for EACH. So that's 10 knobs now That's unless you're just talking about blending between germanium and silicon diodes. Oh, and each fuzz will need its own EQ. So that's 13 knobs. Adding a 3-band EQ stack to a fuzz is going to be very lossy.

That means a lot of added noise. Since you're already going to need a fuzz that doesn't have to be placed after the guitar for proper behavior since you want the octave pedal , you would be much better doing the following: This is a pedal that you plug your guitar in, the signal is buffered, and then the signal is split into two pedals.

They're blended together at the output. Get the octave pedal of your choice. If you want analog, pick up an old Pearl octave pedal or something like that. Plug your guitar into it before going to the splitter blender. Plug them into the splitter blender. Get an EQ pedal for your three-band EQ. You can put this wherever it makes the most sense in the chain. Put the entire mess in a bypassable effects loop. Now it's true bypass. If this seems like a lot of pedalboard space It's much more economical to get all the individual pedals and the tools to Voltron them.

You can change the placement of each part of the effect, buy the best example of each, replace parts that don't work together, and even switch parts of it on and off. Stuff like the Octron, Pearl, and Green Ringer, and even the Octavia are only germanium in that germanium diodes are used as rectifiers Germanium-ness is irrelevant there. Oct 11, 7.

Good point on a bias knob being needed for each side of the circuit! Didn't think about that.
