INTO THE UNKNOWN

Build Document last updated january 2018

Version 2.1 2017/2018

Into the Unknown Guitar Synthesizer Deluxe is a CMOS based fuzz 
centered around the CD4046 PLL (phase locked loop) chip and a 
CD4015 shift register chip.

It can do brutal fuzz, octave down and octave up, self oscillations, 
theremin sounds, flanger'ish modulation and more!

This circuit works best with high output pickups. It is a gated circuit
by nature of the CMOS logic. If you are using single coils and need 
more sustain, try a boost or compressor in front. To improve 
tracking of the octave down, use your neck pickup with the tone 
rolled off.

Happy playing!
