ok ok. a friend of mine told me this prank you can do! Plug a fuzz pedal into the FX send/return on their Amp. and at random moments during their set hit the pedal and for a moment and turn it off right quick. Later on in a quiet moment turn it on again and then wait for the guy to hit the amp a couple times and then turn it off. XP so horrible!
Why not an effect pedal… with a mind of its own… that makes up its own desicions on what it wants to be or do, just a box with a switch on it. No rhyme or reason, its just what the box felt like doing today. One day its an envelope filter. the next day it decides to take on flanging as a hobby.
OOOooooo Ok lol. but maybe they’ll get ideas from here ya know,…. but in that video from boing boing the engineer said that mike usually comes up with the ideas… hmmmm
…..yeah sounds about right. lol guess you guys have your work cut out for the next mmmmm couple years.
If you guys are interested I have a PCB designed, Schematic, and Parts list for a Sample Hold i’ve concocted
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH PEDALS!!!! Try making your own pedals lol! I have at least six EHX pedals in my stash of 20. doesn’t really hold a flame next to eyesicle’s 70.
and now for a picture of what boss pedals REALLY do to your tone!!!! HOLLOOOWWW!!!!!
What if you could also program the freeze fade mode to pitch shift the note(s) to form a chord progression when you hit the expression pedal while you play over it? that would definitely be usefull.
Now i wonder if you could both overlap guitar riffs AND vocals! lol you could literally dub your own band! I already do that somewhat using my POG to lay a bass riff down and then play over that with my guitar!
Tap Tempo Attack/Decay/Sustain low pass filter- digital controlled analog filter, tap tempo would control attack time, and the DSR would be proportional based on their positions in relation to the attack knob. If the attack is set to 2 seconds, decay to 1 seconds, sustain to 3 seconds, and then you tap in 1 second- it would be 1, .5, 1.5.
Freeze pedal with FX loop:
double wide XO, 2 foot switches- bypass and expression, some knobs to control stuff in different modes. Expression/midi inputs. FX loop (which is still in the chain when the pedal is bypassed.)
Freeze gliss and freeze volume would be on there, with maybe a few new modes. In most modes, Effects in the loop would be in series with the wet signal.
One mode could be a freeze-fade mode. The expression control would freeze your note and keep it effected and activate the clean signal at unity gain. Or vice versa. So for example at the end of a heavy big muff driven passage you hit the expression switch and it will fade out your note naturally while you can start playing over it in clean without missing a beat.
There could also be a freeze cross-fade mode.
That sounds awesome! cause then you could make it sound like your playing a double lead! like when two guitars trade off riffs.
Yeah, that would be cool. I play a tiny instrument, so I like to compensate with my amps and pedals being kinda big… Also, what about throwing those two special controls from the Germanium OD onto a few more things… For that matter, why not the germanium transistor? (Guess who loves ’60s rock!)
Man I would’ve guessed Metal Reggae but 60’s rock? I never saw that coming!
I have an idea for the next Generation of Memory Man! THE SUPER ATARI DELUXE MEMORY MAN WITH QUINTUPLE HAZARAI! Dont get me wrong i love the Latest SMMH I just wish it had 3 more presets per mode and a foot controller to control it all with AND a hold button to extend the delay indefinitely would be tight! I even came up with an artistic rendering of the footcontroller!
