FUNNY CAT |

AUDIO CLIPS: BASS GUITAR |
This is a modified clone of the strange, old, out-of-production Roland Funny Cat. If you want to see what an original one looks like, click on the OTHER COOL STUFF link, at the left, and scroll down a bit. The original circuitry was deciphered with much great help from the likes of Rob Strand, R.G. Keen, Mark Hammer, et al, and the rest of the cool folks at Aron's DIY Stompbox Forum. In fact, if you want to see what makes the Funny Cat tick, check out R.G.'s Roland AG5 Funny Cat article at GEO. And, if you want to see some pictures of an original issue Funny Cat, Check 'em out here, on the IDEAS page. You may be noticing that the clone I made has quite a few more knobs than the original. Well, I said it was modified, didn't I? Now, let me see if I can remember... Referring to R.G.'s Funny Cat article... In addition to all the standard controls...
I did not make this a stompbox, per say... No stompswitch. As freaky as this thing can sound, I figured it would mostly be a studio toy. So, it just has the SDS/normal and the Harmonic Mover/normal toggle switches. But, I have to say... It's probably the most vocal sounding envelope filter/auto-wah type pedal I've ever played, let alone built myself. :)
