Bronx Cheer

[Al Heeley]

I did a PCB for a forum member based on the Bronx Cheer. Layout from General Guitar Gadgets:

Wondering if anyone here had experience of using this effect - synth-like env-distortion sounds quite cool as opposed to daft wah-like farty raspberry.
Is it worth a build, as I have all the comps necessary, or is it actually a bit silly?

Hi Al,
Had a listen to [url="http://74.6.239.67/search/cache?ei=UTF-8&p=Tim+Escobedo+Bronx+Cheer&rd=r1&fr=yfp-t-501&u=www.geocities.com/tpe123/folkurban/fuzz/snippets.html&w=tim+escobedo+bronx+cheer&d=EmAyYhlMTW6T&icp=1&.intl=uk"]soundclip here[/url] , could be wicked on bass.
Would be interested to know myself.
Cheers

interesting sounds , I guess a bit synthy and bassballsy with some fuzz thrown in. Its a pretty simple circuit but I have to try harder to resist the urge to buy another set of metal enclosures from maplins. My music room is starting to spill over with home build boxes.
