Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had any insight into how the ZVEX Machine pedal worked. It is a crossover distortion pedal. On the video clip on his website he says it uses a dual frequency tripler. I am interested in designing something similar, The only idea I had was to make a push pull (class AB) output stage with a bias control to create the crossover distortion. I was just wondering how the machine worked as I am always interested to know whats going on inside some of the more unique pedals out there. don't be afraid to get technical, I know a decent amount of electronics and can look up stuff on my own if I don't understand your explanation. any help or ideas would be appreciated.
dude,

w/ all due respect,
peace,

that link was very helpful andrew. by the way troubled tom why can't you "help" with zvex's stuff? I'm just curious, am I doing something wrong by asking how something works? I don't plan to copy his pedals or anything, I was just interested to know how it worked. Thanks for your help though guys, I appreciate it.
I cant c whats wrong with asking a question related to zvex pedals? Ripping them off is of course wrong but being inspired by them to make your own creation is cool and a compliment to zack? All the keeley, anologueman mods have been discussed at various times. It's how the information is used that matters.
Cheers,
Nick,
