So, everyone knows the MXR Blue Box, legendary octave fuzz. It fuzzes the signal, than blends it with a 2 octave down signal.

Two controls, simple: Blend, and volume.

But I thought, what if we took that blend control, and put it to the front of the pedal, put both sides through independent gain circuits, and then putting one directly through the octave effect.
Here's a Blue Box schematic.

What does everyone think?

Lol...

Have you ever heard of a Boss OC-2 ?

Yes, of course, much different effect, no?

What do you think are the controls "Direct Level", "OCT 1" and "OCT 2" for ?

I don't see where a Boss OC-2 distorts the different octaves with different amounts of fuzz. I did forget to mention putting the fuzz level on pots, so it's variable.

But these effects are not the same... I guess you could get a similar effect if you split your signal, one end into the Boss and a fuzz, and the other end just into a fuzz. But then you need 3 pedals to do it.
