noise pedals w/ expression parameters

Post by alexsga »

Looking for something compact that will overwhelm my signal with expression control.
Any suggestions for me? Think something like LAL Toxic Plant or some of the Rainger stuff

I know it sounds kind of silly but putting a Crybaby wah at the end of your chain can result in some crazy ass shit. It's already got expression and it warps your entire signal. I used to use one and miss the shit out of it. Have regretted selling mine for two years now! LOL! The key though is to slowly push the pedal down and not just rock it like you typically see in demos. If you're throwing a bunch of fuzz at it in the front or other modulations, it seriously sounds nuts.

Not sure if it's what you're lookin' for. But, my favorite almost-unusable pedal is my Bad Comrade. It has an expression input. However, I might not go so far as to call it "control". Every time I play it I feel like I'm in Fight Club.

Toxic Plant might get too saturated at the end of a chain (not in the good way, in the signal weakening way). Cyber Psychic would be a better choice from LAL.

Some kind of panning circuit with expression can really mangle stuff it is planned right. Zoom MS100BT in a feedback setup (it's output back to the input) with a volume pedal controlling the feedback would work well and give a lot of options.

Too many options to list really, but I would look for things that accept gain well without becoming canceled saturated swells. PLLs, some env filters (with lfos), and ring mods can al work well...but really don't exclude anything you can feedback.

Even a dd-5 with a expression controlled switch controlling tap tempo can be a nice mangler.

Crybaby/wah can be nice like jwar said too.

I like the dirty doper and all of RMA personally though (and there is CV).

Auto-correct or a secret LAL prototype?

Either way'd sound awesome. :!!!:

Fixed haha. Thanks!

Dang Google phone.

3d cyber psychic spatial panning filter would be amazing though.
