Oh I only mentioned it as he literally says it's the same circuit, rather than inspired by or developed from etc.  Usually cloners aren't quite so blunt!

 

And that last sentence reminds me of someone...

If they are coming from the diy /freestompboxes scene they would be - “here’s this thing that is around but not available to try” 

The ones that are actually retuning circuits to their own taste are doing something new and deserve the credit - someone like Cog effects or 3leaf are creating a new repeatable product out of a common series of circuits and building blocks.

The thing that annoys me slightly is for every Cog effects (for example) who genuinely try and enginerer a better octave for bass players you’ll have others who take a common circuit like a zvek SHO, apply the mods that have been floating around on freestompboxes and other places online and bring it out as an original pedal…. Which is why it wouldn’t surprise me if this fella/lass coming doing the chunk stuff is from the diy scene originally.

 

 

(btw I don’t know who it remind you of!)

Speaking of which (the DIY scene) - I'be been borrowing this funky thing from @LukeFRC

 

It sounds great - with a fixed fast attack it excels at the bubbly funk sound. Build quality is great, I really like the punched lettering.

Have I posted this on this thread? It kicked the above off my board…

I’d love to give this a whirl sometime.

On it's way today!

Been having a play with the Funky Puppy this evening. It reminds me very much of the EHX QBalls Enigma which I owned for years. It improves on it though in that the drive level is adjustable from the panel and is gated. Like the Enigma, the controls are very sensitive and very interactive. Don’t think it’s for me ultimately but am happy I got to try it out.

That's made me want to give the EHX a go!  The filter/fuzz sounds I get out of my Chunk I can't ever imagine anything by EHX pulling off, so I'm intrigued!

Just to be clear, I’m talking more about the filter. The fuzz in the Chunk and this clone are far better than the distortion in the Enigma. Enigma is a Mike Beigel (Mr. MuTron) creation.
