Just got this in!



I had one back in the day from the first release and have missed it more or less since I sold it. Finally got my hands on another courtesy of foreverbroke and very happy I did.

No matter how garbage the build quality on the INFANEM stuff might be the graphics are all time greats.

Mailman finally dropped these off. WOW!!!



This one seems pretty old


Apparently only 30 of these were made, I had no idea when I snagged it. It REALLY dooms...dare I say it djents



and also been itching to try this one out

Those are really pretty

I thought it was a tweaked fuzz face (thats some other dunwich, the Conan guy uses one) but its an original design it seemshttps://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/ind ... pic=9579.0

*sigh*

I have this very Judder, I like it a lot!

DIdn't the smaller enclosure ones come after the majestically huge ones? I thought they started to shrink them because folk could not fit them on their boards. I have one of the big ones and I absolutely love it:

That's right! from the man himself (there is a topic on the forum about them):

Essentially its kinda like my Wizard amp but a pedal version (however tone wise I am not sure how close they are but the idea of hi gain fuzz/stortion is where I am going with this). It has a 12 position FAC style control called Depth, a baxandall stack (Bass and Treble) right out of my amp along with a Master Volume, oh yea fuck tons of gain. Its got FET, JFET, BJT boosters, muff style BJT clipping stages, JFET clipping stages. Overall 7 transistors.

Just received a Lightning Wave Doom - need to wrap my head round how to use it this WE...

The Doom is such a sleeper! The workflow is definitely...different, but once you wrap your head around it there are so many cool applications. And if you're lazy, it makes a great trem w/ presets

Just starting to feel the pangs re: moving my Judder during a fundraising purge three plus years ago, but I don't even think I fully grokk'd it's stronger points at the time - I wanted it to sound more like a Raptio/Possessed combo, and it really is its own thing....

Dat Wizard - 6 stacked gain stages

I think this is like a proto or a very early version. This one is numbered 00 and I got it from someone who was clearing out a collection of some relatively old pedals.

Is dunwich still in production? I remember these coming out, really killer gear

I think he shut down not that long ago actually

They're now being produced under 'Magic Pedals' by a former builder, I don't know what there actual market status is though.

I think it's maybe from around 2015-2016. I did not pay much attention to all this for a good while so could be very wrong too! (I was buying too much gear, too quickly so I distanced myself from forums for a few years)

From what I remember the first picture of this pedal Nick (the man behind Dunwich) ever shared here was in a raw 1590DD enclosure. He took the pic with the pedal sitting on his thigh, that was in June or July 2012. I remember it well, the thing was massive, it was dwarfing his leg (that's what she said...)

He went on to build one for Ryan@Dr Sci. around Oct. 2012 and then maybe another 1 or 2 for some other folk before he did small runs of his pedals. All these runs were built by Magic, while Nick was concentrating on amps, custom stuff, and R&D. The runs started in 2013 with the Wizard Fuzz (large enclosure similar to his early pic from 2012 but white) and the Cthulhu Fuzz (one knobber in a white 1590BB enclosure). That's when I got my WF.

Through time, the size of the Wizard Fuzz shrunk. It looks like every modification of the circuit to make if fit within a smaller enclosure led to a prototype (#000). You have the 1590BB one. In this one, the circuit was identical to the 1590DD model, but subsequent versions were slightly different.

Nick could not fit the 12 position rotary switch in smaller enclosures and some runs of smaller size pedals have a 6 position switch instead. When he eventually managed to fit the circuit in a 125B enclosure (between 2017 and Dec. 2019 when he stopped Dunwich), the rotary switch was replaced with a continuous pot (no positions anymore), at that point he also added a Blend.
Aesthetically, the wizard face was dropped went he built the pedal in anything smaller than the 1590BB size and was replaced with a wizard on a horse on the edge of a cliff.

The proto (#000) of the 125B size ones was on Reverb in Nov. last year:


Not that all this matters really, just a trip down memory lane... I like this builder, he was posting a lot here and had a lot of cool ideas!

thanks. I'll have to communicate via this post using edits from now on, or i'll ruin it.

Most excellent wizardry.
