A "Treats"-inspired octave destroyer: sub, dry, octave-up and +2-octave voices slammed into an iMic-style asymmetric hard clipper for that flat-topped, harsh, digital fuzz. The Lo-Fi Drop footswitch degrades to phone-speaker territory on demand.
Treat Octave Fuzz
Terrarium + Daisy Seed · Mono
Sleigh Bells / "Treats"-inspired octave destroyer. Multi-octave layering (sub, dry, octave up, +2 octaves) slammed into iMic-style ADC hard clipping for that flat-topped, harsh, digital fuzz. Lo-Fi Drop footswitch instantly degrades to phone-speaker territory.

iMic clipping: asymmetric hard clip with positive ceiling at 0.9 and negative floor at -1.0. Flat-topped, harsh, digital — modeled on the original iMic ADC behavior that made the "Treats" record sound the way it does.

Lo-Fi Drop — bandpass filter + crush + bit reduce + 3× gain compensation. Tap or hold depending on SW4.
Usage tip: For the flat-topped “Treats” fuzz, crank Slam (KNOB 2) and balance the octave voices to taste — Sub (KNOB 4) for weight, Up (KNOB 6) for bite, Dry (KNOB 5) to keep the note intact. Add SW1 (+2 octaves) for a screaming top and SW3 (bit crush) for digital grit, then roll Tone (KNOB 3) back to tame the harshness. Hit FS2 for the Lo-Fi Drop to collapse everything into phone-speaker territory.
Treat Octave Fuzz
WOOF v3 + Daisy Seed · Stereo · MIDI · Expression
Octave fuzz with stereo-detuned sub and octave-up voices for chorus-like width on the octave stacking. iMic asymmetric hard clip preserved. Sub-octave detuned ±3¢ L/R; octave-up detuned ±3¢ reverse; dry stays centered.

Sub-octave detuned −3¢ L / +3¢ R (in poly mode via per-channel grain rates, in mono mode via per-channel divider). Octave-up detuned +3¢ L / −3¢ R via fractional read-back delay (1024-sample ring buffer). Dry stays centered. Octave-up is rectified fabsf(dry) so each channel is DC-blocked after the detune read.
