Say, five usable positions per knob (an understatement. ) gives us 5^6 different sounds.

I think.

Two knobs, son.

Perhaps you are thinking of the Thumping Double Squaresnakes?

give "Snakes" and "Operation 1" a try. "Snakes" is made with TDSS and a few drums, Operation 1 is entirely squaresnakes.

that is a pretty broad statement, becuz you'd be surprised how "limiting" teh Sleepdrone, & other "noise boxes," can be; or rather, a lot of them aren't really versatile as stand-alone noiseboxxxes. i think oinkbanana offers sage, practical advice in that a rotyrbrain & a delay would be a good combo: just depends on what floats-yr-boat soundwise. i wouldn't judge things solely on the knobs or how many pitch-controls there are.

peace.

i wont' kill you, i'd measure the RotYrBrain as 6 knobs as well.
each joystick is 2 pots

i invite you over to try both of them side by side if you like. i'm in mtl canada.

i'd recommend the baby box to someone who wanted to make a nice drone for the background.
but for noise, rotyrbrain 100%!

Obviously, its best when put through FX and shit.

especially in shit

Please be more badass than One Day As A Lion. Zach de la Rocha with Jon Theodore should've been ludicrous.

Jon Theodore<<Tom Prigden

So completely and utterly disagree in every possibly conceivable way

Okay.

EDIT: I'm only basing this on their Mars Volta stuff. Bedlam in Goliath is a consistently terrific album, and the drums are one of the best parts, in my opinion.

I'm only basing my opinion on their Mars Volta stuff as well. I'm just gonna stop here and avoid having this same internet fight for the 800th time.

my friend couldnt afford pedals when he made his first album so he just plugged his guitar into some crappy computer speaker he'd fixed up to allow an in and out thingy in it and then plugged that into an amp to make it audible. didnt sound perfect but that made some pretty nasty sounds which he made work for him i guess.

Don't get me wrong, Frances the Mute is one of my favorite albums ever, and Deloused is a great record. Very different from Goliath.

They are extremely different drummers. There's a video on youtube of them playing Cygnus, and Pridgen completely RUINS the middle section by over-playing. The dude is talented. But he just needs to slow the fuck down, realize that space in music is a good thing, and groove. Which is what Jon was amazing at.

EDIT: Interesting that you didn't mention Amputechture, which is actually my favorite MV record. Jon's drumming on Tetragrammaton is teh epix.
