Members Blakemore Effects Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just curious, since I haven't read the whole thread. To save some effort for the builders, can I just build my own? I'll still do the $60, but to make life easier, you can just ship me the parts/schem, and I'll put it together myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WeStartToDrift Posted March 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 The next pedal we should do should be a PT23999-based delay with a filter control and a PIC generating a random-rate LFO to mimic a tape machine. I'm going to try to at least design the delay part after this whole project is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, let me ask this then. Would it be more helpful if I put money towards the Kickstarter, or if I offered to build some of the pedals? Didn't know if you're more in need of cash or solder jockeys.

What a great cause, there are only three octophants roaming the vast expanses of Oklahoma today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally once can find a wild Octophant rummaging through the garbage behind a McDonald's in Tulsa. Don't forget the great Norman Octophant Rampage of 1904. The plains used to be pink and gray with wild herds of Octophants. That is until the white man turned them into Big Macs. It is ironic that they are often sighted rooting through McDonald's dumpsters. Perhaps they yearn for their long-lost mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins. While we're on the topic, someone should write about Octophants... and we can put them in the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
