Forget the 4 knob. Give the standard Great Wall 5 controls: Gain, Fuzz, Voltage, Tone, Level, + Tone-Bypass Toggle.

the Great wall is fantastic as it is. if you want osc, feed back etc. put it in a looper.

I've fount that osculation actually limits the overall usefulness of a pedal outside of the noise genre
every thing doesn't have to be a TBD.

Too much will just ruin a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l fuzz.

:) Thanks!

Yeah, the Great Wall is not meant to be an oscillating pedal. And imo, the photo-eye is Devi's domain.

But of course, I've appreciated ALL the responses...it's helped me figure out where to go with the Great Wall.
IMO, the greatest wall is the Great Wall Dlx. :D

mine too

I now think the standard should be
Gain, fuzz, tone, and level with tone bypass switch.

The voltage can be duplicated very easily the others can't

Hmm.. some one should build a multiple starve pedal with 4 or 5 pots and bypass switches.
You could then connect multiple pedals and set the starve for each and switch them in and out expanding the sound of what you have.
