Igor

[oldangelmidnight]

I got the mighty D-Rainger to build me a couple of Igor expression devices and I have to say that I love them. I use one mainly to send my Digitech Timebender from a normal setting to a wild oscillation party. It's a great little tool.

Tell me about this. Do you have it on your board? Does it have a controllable throw? So you step on it and the harder you press the more you get?

I'm confused.

I'm thinking this would be cool for my M5.

[oldangelmidnight]

Yeah, on the board. It's got a thin wire so you can run it wherever. I keep it hooked up to the timebender.
It's trailing off the edge of the picture here:


He can make them with different resistances so it can match whatever you need.
As you step harder, it's like either going toe-down or toe-up on an expression pedal, depending on how it's made. (Not adjustable, that I know of.)
It's tough to get precise inbetween settings but when you're going between toe-down and toe-up extremes, it's good. If you've got a primary setting you like on the M5 and a different setting you like to switch to momentarily, it should work.

If you'd got Igor in the shot I'd have been tempted to make a poster out of this!
BTW what does a TC Electronics Hall Of Fame do?

[oldangelmidnight]

Maybe I'll take another for you.
The Hall of Fame is a reverb. I keep it in the plate mode for a slightly more interesting sound. I'm not convinced that running it in stereo is really all that great, though.
