Analog Music Company Grim Gourd Circuit Bent Fuzz XX

Remember the Evil Pumpkin? Meet the Grim Gourd, all the same mind-bendy madness in a fresh new enclosure.  

• The function of the switches
  Imagine that you are bending yourself, and each position of the switches is a point that can be connected to another one. Or, the switches can be approached as a patchbay of a synthesizer. Practically, they connect different predefined points in a circuit, establishing new connections not intended by the original DS-1 design. You cannot tell that switch 1 is for fuzz and switch 2 is for overdrive. Instead, switch 1 connects R1 to R3, but the effect it will produce in combination with the other switches is impossible to predict.
• How many sound combinations are there in the Grim Gourd and are all of them usable?
  There are 12^3 combinations which makes it 1728 possible variations.Not all of them are usable, definitely. This is a part of a design since the project has a circuit bending roots.
• Combining the Grim Gourd with other instruments
  The Grim Gourd is great when combined with various instruments such as guitar, bass, synths, and drum machines. Moreover, it serves as an excellent source for samples in both noise-based and sample-based music.
• Built in LFO
  The Grim Gourd features its own LFO circuit responsible for generating repeating sound patterns or pulsations. It offers variable speed, which is controlled by a separate knob.
• Photocell/Theremin
  You can interact with the Grim Gourd using the Photocell input, which controls the pitch of the oscillations.
