MINI JUNK LANTERN, OCTAVE UP MODE

WHAT:  Dirty octave- no knobs here!
INSPIRATION: Quirky analog octave and ring mod devices, the Green Ringer;  this is the Junk Lantern circuit in the center toggle mode.
CIRCUIT SAUCE:  Full wave rectification and modernized matched diode array to produce vintage octave up tones.  Low pass filter to improve signal to noise (like AM radio!), but does not alter the sound.  The original Green Ringer used a matched diode pair device and we pay tribute to that approach, using a modem equivalent.
SOUND:  The stock Moments sound is a classic ringer-type octave up that pairs well behind a fuzz or drive- Heavy Peaches is an excellent choice!  The hidden frequency boost mode creates intense garage fuzz tones, while still retaining interesting character from the dirty octave mode.   

Easter egg controls: Moments comes set to a pronounced dirty octave up with low gain.  If you prefer the full-frequency boost sound of ripped speakers, flip the on/off switch and turn the volume cut trim pot to the right to taste.  It starts loud! (this is the same stock setting as our "Necropants" graphic).

Austere design, esoteric nomenclature.

The videos show the Junk Lantern and Moments can achieve the center (stock) or up (hidden feature) toggle sounds.
