Amp Trebolo: LFO-automate your favorite amp sims' treble level to be the trem :omg:
With fuzz and OD in front :!!!: :yay: :!!!:

Here's my current glitchin' jam:

I like the RP360's old-school muff size/shape, and the top jacks, but for even more ridiculous LFO powers, the Boss GT-001 is the current champ of board-friendly multi-fx, and of the whole Strymon/Eventide weight class, even though it's classified as a tabletop unit, which is also pretty awesome, because it's so much cooler than a Pod.

The side jacks aren't even a big deal because it's the last thing you'd ever need in a chain...

I can't find the video anymore, but someone had one up playing with the expression input of a Boss PS-5 or the Behringer US-600(?) clone. Dude hooked up a light dependent resistor to some cable and a jack, and rigged the ldr near the flashing lights of a Boss Slicer. Any randomly lighting trigger will do for such abuse if you've got toys that'll take expression control.

Hey, that's what I'm doing with the cyber psychic...fun stuff. I made a little copper housing that straps to a pedal and creates a seal around the led. Fun stuff. Gotta look for the vid you're mentioning!

MS100BT has bitcrusher, slicer, bomber, step&random filters, a shitty organ & synth, pitch stuff, envelope bends - https://www.zoom-na.com/sites/default/f ... nglish.pdf
MS60B has bass synths, moog filter, defretter, and is cool as shit - https://www.zoom-na.com/sites/default/f ... nglish.pdf

This - Zoom MS-70CDR has a model of the (I think) Lo-Fi from the Timeline, and it specifically has a setting for adding crackles and pops like vinyl. The crackles can be dialed in without any delay as well.

Does the MS-100BT basically have the ability to do everything the MS-70CDR does and more? Or no?

Actually a bit curious about that too. They are kinda vague about the different models and I don't want to research (for once). :lol:

I just spent my first night with the GT-001, setting up duelling LFOs on the Slicer and Tera Echo, and playing with the accel effects and other stuff via dual footswitch. It's insane. No squarewave in the LFO like the RP360! Kind of surprising. There is a saw though, which the RP360 doesn't have, and you can use multiple LFOs everywhere as opposed to just the one. I do like the digitech nexus software better than the boss tone studio though, because cartoony pedal and amp graphics are cooler than the same interface on everything. The boss software will actually show you the moving parameters of the LFO in action though, which is really cool. I got the Slicer randomizing hard off of 2 LFOs attacking the pattern selection at different speeds/shapes, and another working the speed. Greatest glitch trem ever. The octave fuzz model is pretty good too, and gets nice and crumbly with the noise gate. The adaptive distortion is kind of similar to the source audio multiwave distortion, but a lot more subtle and understated, naturalized, not so synthy and in your face. Like it blends out all the weirdness. Multiwave lite.

I'm not entirely sure. I do know that the 70CDR has models that the 50G and 60B don't have, mostly the Strymon/Eventide/L6 stuff I think. And I think Some of it is available to download to the 100BT, but maybe not all of it, I'm not sure. I haven't researched it myself, just from what i remember. I find their website a bit harder to find info at since their recent redesign.

It's definitely an interesting unit. The small form factor led to some compromises in functionality that are a bit strange (ie, in how you turn on/off effects and chains of effects, among other things), however, it does sound good and offers models of stuff not generally accesible on sub-$100 units (used). Worth picking up to experiment with.

Edit: It looks like the Eventide/Strymon effects are available to download to the 100BT, I didn't research to see exactly which ones. Anyway, the effect with Crackle/pops is, I believe, "Lo-Fi Delay".

Very Cool fldrvr--thanks! I'll keep my eye out for a deal one one of them, I think.

And Warpsmasher, thanks for the field report on the Boss, which interests me more all the time....

Here's one on Reverb for $90, but I've seen them go cheaper (I got mine for $70 from an ILF bro)

More: The accel effects are made for footswitch use, and more powerful than they seem on the surface. When you start assigning lfo control to the parameters their potential expands a lot. They can be used to inject random noises or twist up the whole signal, and can be placed anywhere in the fx chain. S-bend takes the signal -3 octaves to +4, in full octave steps, so it does bleeps and bloops when you set it to a fast LFO.
I'm really glad I got the FS-7 to go with it, as the momentary controls of the dual footswitch are great for intermittently fucking with whatever mix of effects is going on. It's really cool to have momentary randomized slicer on A and automated S-bend on B, for instance. :love:

I'm just starting to get into noise, glitch, echo and looping music myself, so I'm no expert. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the clean delay on the Dr. Scientist BitQuest can do clicking and scratching on some settings. Random chiming and chirping are even more accessible. They can be mixed in at any level, including 100% wet.

If your gear has serious MIDI control and you can get from iOS to MIDI, there's a new iOS app called midiLFOs is out that gives you four assignable LFOs that you can also have modify each other for more complex waves. Designer said he made it so he could have some deep control of his Volca boxes. I still haven't gotten a chance to get my feet wet, but there should be some mayhem available in there.
