yeahhh! i'm a casio hound, so i'm stoked to give this a shot. ordered the kit, which will be my first attempt at building a pedal. here's hoping i don't fuck it up too bad.

Have you read this tutorial to add one to the FA? Same site has a tutorial to mangle a BOSS RPS-10
Dwarfcraft HAX & expression pedal is mental, not quite as mental as my old broken Mold Spore but nearly there.
oh, yeah. i have a frequency analyzer, but it never really cut through when i tried using it live. it also didn't seem very useful without tweaking knobs with your hands. i used it a little bit for recording in the past, though, and i'm sure i'll use it again for recording real soon.
midfi's random number generator is pretty wacky... almost unmusical, but it can be controlled once you've messed around with one for a little while, that was actually my first pedal build
rich wrote:dwarfcraft has so much stuff. what's squeals the loudest and glitches the fuckest out? that proteus seems cool. i especially like the last setting in the demo. the blue box is cool and all, but i don't think an octave is what i need. one of my favorite tones comes out of my battery-powered orange amp when the battery is almost dead... if that helps. this thing looks kind of neat:
I run a Blue Box through a Sonic Pharmacy Cursed Earth Bazz Fuss, which has a built in voltage starve - gets some seriously grotty tones. I've got the Pharmacist building a Green Ringer clone, which will take the octave back up from the Blue Box, giving three octaves in all, and a nice ring mod-like effect on string bends. Probably easier to just get a POG, but who doesn't love having more pedals on the board than they need?
I run all of that through a Sonic Pharmacy Wormhole FX/Feedback loop, which has a light sensitive controller on the front for some serious freak out effects.
