New pedal idea (all the best pedal ideas are stolen). The doll's head has a photocell in one eye, and a red LED in the other. The head faces a small mirror, which can reflect the light from the LED into the LDR. This LED/LDR network controls fuzz or frequency or oscillation or some shit. The doll's head is mounted on a geared dc motor, and spins round and round until the dead awake.
Yeah it's just another photocell expression pedal (didn't Devi Ever do the same thing called 'peep' or something?) but it's in a doll's head. THAT is innovation.
Lord knows! Almost all boutiquey pedal stuff is recycling and hackery (and I'm not excluding myself from this category for a second). Read the funniest quote about Death By Audio the other day "the only thing this has in common with electronics is the use of electronic components". Fuckin burn!
