Description

The Raygun Youth Chaos Fuzz is a insane sounding fuzz based on the CD4046 Phase Locked Loop (PLL) chip.

A phase locked loop is basically an oscillator (VCO) that generates an output based on a external reference signal. In this case it's a guitar signal that the PLL tries to lock on to. I am writing ?tries? since a guitar signal is very complex and has alot of overtones and harmonies, making perfect tracking near impossible, thus creating very chaotic sounds.

This circuit works best with high output pickups. It is a gated circuit by nature of the comparator that turns the signal into a squarewave. If you are using single coils and need more sustain, try a boost or compressor in front. To improve tracking, use your neck pickup with the tone rolled off. I find that the most interesting sounds is up high on the fretboard.

This build was a little troublesome to get done, mostly because the instructions were a little hard to understand. Ordered this for my buddy and he never got any sound out of it. I guess if you understand how Parasit designs their stuff and what theyre after then this is the sound mangler for you (:
