the JaWarI: Tim Escobedo's sitar emulator guitar pedal thingie
Built
this nice ciruit a while ago, in search of usable effects of the more unfamilliar kind. If you're a fan of original and amazing effects,
Tim's Circuit Snippets are worth checking out.
It's a gain-controlled sitar emulator, but you will have more fun once you forget about trying to imitate a sitar. It really a is a recording pedal, that you might want to use very sparingly.

I used the
GGG layout for the pcb. If you have trouble finding the appropriate transformer coil on the European mainland, check out
Banzai's TM018.


The layout is the Indian god Ganesh, which I got somewhere on the web.
Etched in aluminium as usual.
