Noise boards

building an APC with a starve and pots instead of fixed resistors will get you in trogotronic land at a fraction of the cost.....if you are into that sort of thing.

What I have been doing recently is hooking up 2 oscillating delays sandwiched between fuzz with reverb before and after all in a feedback loop (OF COURSEEEE). Side note - I cant believe i didnt get a feedback loop sooner...they are perfect tool for sonic exploration. DUDEE - flange and/or phasers in the feedback looop is freaking nuts!!!! I get the oscillations from the delay and I recently acquired a dd-7 so I have been using the looping/hold function to layer noise and create a droning, driving rhythm.

i got one here
and i dont know what the fuck to do with it
so now^ thanks
i gots a place to start

The key with feedback loops is to keep trying new combinations of pedals and different pedals and seeing what and how it reacts with being looped into itself. Some pedals will make the sound go crazy, others will do nothing, but then you switch the order of pedals and - shiiiiit gets weird reaaaaalll fast. Experiment! The sonic possibilities are endless.

Phasers and delays in feedback loops are always fun. Also the DOD Death Metal at low(ish) volumes with the right EQ settings can create some pretty interesting texturing.

Mxr m80 loves the feedback loop, the low tone control becomes an lfo, lots of noise in that box.

until someone buys it
im tryin the ad9
bob the robot ds1
and skiulls franken pulsar
im thinkin maybe the pulsar after it though

Aye yo SumRy, an EQ pedal in a feedback loop unlock a whole lot of shit. Can control the overal signal level and bumping up certian frequencies can give you whole new sounds out of the same pedal.

That is very interesting! I never thought to throw an eq pedal into the loop. I just assumed it would do nothing but I need to try that out like ... now!!!

This however is giving me bad gas-attacks:

HOLY CRAP THAT SOUNDS AWESOME.
T'is kind of a shame that you have to hold down the buttons / there's not latching mode.
Still. Want.

I really wanna get a drone synth but I feel like none of the ones I've seen are quite what I want, mainly oscilators that aren't always distorted + mixing options like the sleepdrone. Sonic Crayon dude mentioned he wants to make a muli-waveform drone box and I'm sure would be sick, but who knows when that would come out.

YEAH DO IT NOW, seriously it's freaking awesome.

AGREED, DOIT.
Here's my super 80s home stereo double EQ in a loop:

Is that just the EQ? Fucking sweet either way.

[Achtane]

Thanks dood.
The EQ's the only thing being fed back into itself; left channel out goes into a TAFM and right channel is Big Spider, except it seems like sending it to Soundcloud converted the track to mono.

[kbit]

That's so sweet. Now I want one of those EQs.

[erector]

EQs in feedback loops are beast. Maybe I should go back to working with feedback loops after this sudden interest in quasi-cut up noise hijinks passes.
