Re: Caracol tour box
Just out of curiosity (and PURE WANT!!!!
), what's the status on this? Has it gone out yet? If not, do you know when?
I'm just really really really excited to get my hands on it...

No worries - I just wanted to check. I will wait patiently... patiently... patiently...
Is it here yet? No?
Damn.
Patiently... patiently...

Re: Caracol tour box
here's the manual.
Some advice:
I know some of you will be curious about this:
if you plan to divide by 0, i.e. Caracol - Stereo pedal Out A to amp or fx chain / Stereo Out B back into Caracol Source Jack***, it will create massive oscillation which is not recommend it because with continuous usage for some time periods you could blow your amp or damage the caracol or other pedal in your chains, have the cops called on you, kicked out by your gf/bf/parents/pets/landlord, but if you add some filters or modulation and add other pedals (with preference non-fuzz/dirt) also preferably with volume control, it will get very interesting and could easily excites your creativity into some stuff you might not be allowed yet to experience.
Another fun way is to split the signal before: Stereo Out A - Caracol / Stereo Out B - Source jack Caracol. More pronounced and in your face octave / gonk / percussive sounds. Or for maximun pleasure Stereo Out A - Caracol / Stereo Out B - lots of pedals - source jack caracol.
Can i use a feedback loop in the source jack, yes but i recommend only if it's build with volume control or if you put a volume pedal after it and before the source jack on the caracol, since some pedals are very wild on feedback loops.
This is a pedal to have fun and to experiment, so have a good ride.
Please follow this guidelines, so everyone in the tour can have their own experiences and we could still have this type of things going. Please reports all your findings in this thread, experiences, dislikes, opinions, suggestions, recommendations, pics, clips, videos, thoughts, etc
Maximun Voltage in the Source jack is 5v for those who wants to use CV / Function Generators / Synths/ Blenders, Microwaves and other appliances. The Tip of the jack should have + voltage and the sleeve should be ground

The NYC contingent will have a blast with that pedal! K, do you have any contact mics? :-D
