uh, my suicide delay is a fully functional digital delay with added features, one of which is a pretty rad fuzz.

That's funny how you guys think stuff just gets ruined. True, you can wreck shit hopping a lead around the circuit board, but out of about ten machines i've explored, I've never broken one.


Well, i htought i broke my behringer tremelo, but i just had the depth dialed all the way down.

See?! Look at Aen's spelling. Circuit bending is bad for your brain.

You own a chorus pedal, so your opinion is null and void.

I own 2 chorus pedals and a modulated delay set to chorus. Don't get it twisted.

Hmm are you using it with a 9v? I've seen a website where it says that only 6v and below are supposed to be used for circuit bending...

Well that's wierd. Lick a 9 volt. Pure power into your head. It stings, but you'll definetly be okay.

Actually 9V could kill you if the current is 2 Amps.

Voltage isn't the killer, current is. However the current in a pedal is in the ~mA region so you're alright.

And maulings from Donk's rabid, loose dog.

So, if you hooked up a 9V battery to yourself in a certain way to yield 2A of current, it could kill you?

It's funny, cause i remembered that stuff right after i poasted. The nazis did a lot of electric experiments, and found ways/places to kill you with less than one volt.

THANKS A LOT, ASSHOLES.

Okay, now, I took a toy, and a screw driver and poked the components on the circuit. Nothing happened. Are test leads/croc clips a must???
