SHIPPING AUGUST 4th
For the first time ever, Throbbing Gristle's legendary effects unit, The Gristleizer, is now available in stompbox form. Though the original design by Roy Gwinn is over 30 years old, The Gristleizer had never seen commercial production until the summer of 2009, when Endangered Audio updated and improved the circuit. The pedal version, housed in a high-quality, heavy-duty Hammond 1590DD box, retains all the functionality of the tabletop design with the added convenience of footswitch operation. In essense, The Gristleizer is a synth module that works with any audio signal. The audio path is modulated by an LFO using four selectable waveforms (ramp, reverse ramp, triangle, & square), functioning in one of two paths: VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) or VCF (voltage controlled filter). Ranging from light and sweet tremolo to extreme, raunchy ring mod, The Gristleizer is a 100% analog, hand-assembled unit built to last.
Version 2 features:
- Improved, scratch-resistant black powdercoating
- Easy-to-read, durable aluminum control panel
- High quality, custom made ABS plastic knobs

Reviews & Other:
- PCB Build Blogs: (one) (two)
- "I must say that the quality of the Gristlizer’s PCB is absolutely superb. Compared to the one for my last project […] well, there’s no comparison; this one is just much cleaner and easier to work, with almost no potential for unwanted bridging, at least thus far. The layout is impeccable and the manufacturing seems perfect." - Eston of The Long Afternoon (MySpace page)
