Blue Box Tracking Control?

Post by bdunlap »

Any way to get a control over how well/bad the tracking is on the Blue Box? I want to get some Glitch Computer type random tracking effects out of a BB. Would a starve control do that, or maybe a gain control? I think the Glitch Computer does this by having a variable gain control. I would get a GC, but it's a pretty big price jump from $70 to $225... :idk:

I mean like those uncontrollable robot fax machine sounds, don't think guitar volume can do that

Looks like I'm gonna have to just go with the GC...

:idk: It does what it does... it has it's limits... If you turn it into a GC then it isn't a BB anymore, and that is fine if what you want is more then a BB. But Personally I can see where having both would be cool.

The glitchiness kinda comes from having two octave-down circuits strung together. You could make it glitch less by modding it to 1 octave down.

But, for more glitching... that's a bit more complex. Try putting a booster infront of it, maybe... :idk:
