DarkAxel,
The front drone sound is one of my favorites.
The sound is a HOG pedal in the freeze mode.
I froze a C triad and manually moved the filter slider and various pitch sliders around.
That was run through the Deluxe Memory Boy analog delay pedal with the modulation set to a chorus.
I LOVE that sound!!!!
Thanks for noticing it.

Thanks man!
The space sounds before the bass kicks in is done on two tracks.
One is the Deluxe Memory Boy with the feedback control all the way up.
As it oscillates I lower increase the delay and the pitches go down like a ship landing.
The second pass used the Deluxe Memory Boy in oscillation but I left the delay knob up.
That constant noise was feed into a Ring Thing pedal in the pitch shift mode and I
slowly lowered the pitch or course knob.

I have to say I LOVE the Deluxe Memory Boy.
Its becoming a favorite of mine.

Benny it funny you say that as unintentionally I started recording this track on Delia`s birthday!

In 1963 Delia Derbyshire working for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop created one of the most significant and innovative pieces of electronic music, even before the availability of commercial synthesizers.
Starting with a score written by composer Ron Grainer, Delia created every note by cutting, splicing, speeding up and slowing down segments of analog tape recordings of plucked strings, white noise, and the simple harmonic waveforms of test-tone oscillators which were used for calibrating equipment and rooms, not creating music.
Below are pictures of Delia Derbyshire and the studios of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Our track starts with a Deluxe Memory Boy in full oscillation with the feedback at 100%.
A second track was recorded running the Deluxe Memory Boy through a Ring Thing while slowly lowering the pitch.

Below are the settings used for the bass and main melody sounds.
A second melody pass was added using the HOG`s upper octave sliders with a slow attack.

To recreate some of the white noise effects of the original Doctor Who theme, I harnessed the white noise generated

by a Big Muff distortion cranked full up.
Using a dummy plug to turn the unit on I routed the output to various effects.
I used a LPB-1 booster to help generate even more noise. This pedal is optional.

For outer space sounds I used a glass guitar slide, tapping the strings and processing it through a Ring Thing ring modulator and Stereo Memory Man delay.

Thanks for watching!

For the new XO version:
PREAMP GAIN ADJUSTMENT The preamp gain in the Bass Micro Synth has been set at the factory for use with a bass equipped with single-coil passive pickups. If you will be using another instrument with higher or lower output, it may be necessary to readjust this setting. A screwdriver or alignment tool with a tip width of no more than 1/16″ is required. To access the preamp gain adjustment, remove the bottom plate from the Bass Micro Synth. Look for the small trim pot in the lower left corner of the circuit board, it is labeled TRIM1 GAIN TRIM. Turning the trim pot clockwise will increase the preamp gain. Turning it counter-clockwise will decrease preamp gain. Please do not touch any other components when the bottom plate is removed or you risk damaging the circuit board or the components.

For the old style big box, there is a hole on the bottom of the case where you access the input trimmer.
