Description

Emerald Ring is the Best “Octave Up” Green Ringer PCB. It is an easy add-on to just about any Fuzz, or Drive circuit you wish to add an Octave tone. By driving the Emerald Ring with a Fuzz Face [nice tonal variety] or other, such as Angry Red Camel , Sriracha Fuzz,  Emexar (Dist+) to result in much stronger octave/harmonics and less gating splatter.

FX gurus will remember at some point Way Huge marketed a couple of octave effects. The Purple Platypus™ and the Piercing Moose™ . Now you may build a similar project and save the $500+ price tag on eBay. Also trying different diodes, such as Germanium, you may also achieve other wonderful tones as used by the Foxx Tone Machine, Superfuzz, Kay, and others.

The Emerald Ring works extremely well with any Fuzz Face, Tonebender, Big Muff, Sriracha Fuzz, Emexar 2, and other Fuzz/Gain circuits. The sky’s the limit where creativity is concerned. Just drive the Emerald Ring, in series with your favorite circuit, for an always on application.

For my Demo (see below), I have the Sriracha Fuzz first in line at 44 seconds in from the guitar input, then from the output of that to the input of the Emerald Ring. The Output of the Emerald Ring is then wired to the Output Jack.
