Hey Devi - Got Joysticks?

Post by Elliot »

Hey Devi,

Have you managed to source any more joysticks?

I love this type of interface - I've been having a ball with the Synth Mangler.

One thing people should know about your pedals...sometimes it takes actually recording or playing with other musicians to really see how cool your pedals are. While I was waiting for mine to ship from Canada, I played the Synth Mangler at Analog Haven and I thought it was just all right. When I finally got it I used it while playing with some friends I really saw how great it sounded. Anyhow I'm thinking about the Dream Mangler now and I'm wondering if they will lose the joystick functionality.

I was also thinking about building a Krackle Fuzz and was thinking how cool it would be to use a joystick - If you've found them in quantities which allow you to share your source. Also, on the joysticks you had, are the pot portions able to be taken apart and reassembled? This would allow changing out the values for both X and Y pots.

Sweet - good luck getting them. Some info about pot value replacement can be found at the geofex website.

Let us know how it works out for you (us) ;)

Thats what I'm saying. Especially the TBD, and the noise modes on the TP,VFM,SM,Rocket.
Then looping and chopping in the DAW and people say "what is that?"
"Its just a pedal" I say. "This pedal."
"Now you want to hear what it sounds like with a guitar?"

Anyhow I'm thinking about the Dream Mangler

My 2 favorites controlled by a joystick :love: I can only imagine.
I think the joystick fuzz is really really cool, especially for knob twisters like me that make most of their sound with the knobs, having a joystick would make things so much easier....and different...whoa... :!!!:

NICE! :love: I want some. Let us know if you get enough to share. They look like they might actually be candidates for value transplants, but I'd have to get my hands on one to know for sure. Keep us up to date Devi - and if nothing else at least it looks like the mangelers will live on! :rock:

I don't think I could do 50...but maybe some others here want to go in on a group buy. I could probably go for 10 - I know Aen wants some but not sure if he's wanting to spend $ right now judging by some posts he's made recently...though don't let me speak for you Aen. If the price breaks are at quantities of 50, maybe there's four other guys who also want to go in for 10 joysticks. What would the unit costs be if we could get enough folks to commit to 50 Devi?

I can only get like 2 right now, just to build the next prototype. Then, if they get a-sellin, (with the help of Devi the Devine) I could probably do a bigger order.

i'd go in for an order of at least 10 if they're as reasonably priced as mentioned above.
