    Here’s another that i just discovered: Tap Tempo Tremolo from the Ring Thing

    Plug the 8-Step into the MOD input of the Ring Thing using a 1/4″ TS cable (mono instrument cable). Set the 8-Step to output a square wave with 2 steps (high / low). Set the Ring Thing to ring mod mode, and to use the MOD jack for the carrier frequency. Adjust blend and filter for sound/intensity.

    Ok, one more from me:

    I hooked the CV output of the 8-step to an Ernie ball passive volume pedal (EP Jr). This has 2 benefits:

    1. This acts as a depth control on the CV signal, so now you can use 1 expression pedal for rate, glide, seq length and then use this volume pedal to control depth. Pretty cool stuff happening with both feet working!

    2. The Volume pedal (EP Jr) has a passive tuner out. This works as a splitter for the 8 step! Now you can control 2 pedals at one time, with some sort of individual depth control. I ran the volume pedal’s tuner output to the HOG’s expression port, and the volume pedal output to the qballs expression pedal port. I was able to build a HOG sequence which synced with the qballs, and i could vary the depth of the filter using the volume pedal.

    –Disclaimer – i am not responsible if you let the smoke out of your pedals…. Make sure you use a passive volume pedal (Ie no battery)
