man. there is some awesome looking stuff in here. very inspirational! i cant wait till i start getting into this stuff! i think im going to order that hardware hacking book tonight and hopefully some good comes of it!

.

here's a lame-ass demo. I'm playing a discarded umbrella into a TV that's on fire.

It's a bunch of stuff. A bitcrusher, samplerate reducer, a granular sampler/repeater/glitcher, a harsh digital fuzz and noise source. Controls are as follows (left to right):

top:
bitdepth: bitcrush from 8 to 1 bit. things get noisy and ugly and awesome!
samplerate: rate reduction, atari/nintendo-ish sounds, etc
tone: just a big muff tonestack. middle is neutral. right is high boost, left is low boost.
blend: wet-dry blend
volume: makes the pedal vomit kittens

bottom:
grain size: sample size of the granular sampling buffer.
grain mod: modulates the grain sample up or down in pitch
glitch 1 and glitch 2: makes it stutter in different ways. the toggle switch at the top makes the soft-stomp on the right active one or the other of the buttons.

Amazing as usual dude

Is this going into production?

Sorry, but your pedal has at least one bug

Seriously, that pedal looks and sounds exquisite. Well done.

ME FIRST

super super interested in that pedal once it's all right-on and stuff. is there *any* chance of these going into production? i super-need one.

Now that is a Samplerate Reducer.

How do you make your enclosures so pretty?

thanks guys

I hope to make a few of these, but not untill at least well into next year

hello, long time reader, first time poster, heres some stuff i've worked on.

oscillator:


ds-1 with multiple mods:


Muff:


tape machine 1:


still trying to get this working properly:

Who are you and how come I've never seen these awesome creations before? That tape machine looks AWESOME.

oh my fucking god

My name's Matthew S. and my card says Sculptor, Sound Artist, Writer, and Noise/Drone Musician. You can find some releases for free on my blog via my profile.
Been dabbling in pedals for about a year now (two if you count the year my first pedal spent sitting in a box, not working solely because of a miswired 3pdt). Muff pcb from GGG, ds-1 is all the mods i could find online on a rotary switch plus the deviever mod, oscillator is a 40106, gristleizer is from gaussmarkov with a ggg chargepump but isnt working right yet (probably a dead tranny, which sounds like a phrase from a Spillane novel). The tape machine is courtesy of the amazing casper: http://casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/barbie-karaoke/blackandwhite.jpg
I'm working on a new and improved (multiple) tape machine now.

@Nychthemeron: THANKS!
@cloudscapes: i really love your work and have been checking your blog periodically and oogling your pedals for awhile now. if i had the cash, you'd have most of it. thanks for the props.

new videro

no more people posting DIY unless they're going into production.
