Members AuttumAttic Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 The controls on those pedals will let you approximate any sort of state of dying battery you prefer. It's one of the attractive things about Tommy's designs, they utilize interesting tone-shaping that goes right for the clipping itself quite directly rather than filtering frequencies one way or another before or after it.Stab'D ' alt='>'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Parah Salin Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 The AB-Synth is also $130 new which makes it even more attractive than the Zvex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Agreed Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 And it sounds better in my opinion, both making normal sounds and doing out-there stuff. Plus you can quickly turn the oscillation on and off standing up without twiddling any pedal knobs. There are other pedals that give you a voltage control, too, I didn't say "unique to this pedal," I just said interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted July 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 clips... just the ABsynth on its own. Tweaked to a neat kind of "bass synth" setting that I found ... [YOUTUBE]UM72s3w-gZc[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted July 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 [YOUTUBE]oMKzxy1iUUw[/YOUTUBE] here's a neat kind of arpeggiator effect using the ABsynth and a GNX3 for delay and reverb then experimenting with the feedback using the guitar volume.

Members Parah Salin Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 I never thought I'd see the day that RoboPimp plays shoegazer music and has a pedal with custom graphics. I don't know how much more mind{censored} I can take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheBumRush Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 Happy New Pedal Day, Robo. I painted some of my pedals with my own artwork, but I just used acrylics from Wal-Mart. Not nearly as awesome as this though, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheBumRush Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 that sounds cool, my wife is an amazing painter, how did you go about using the acrylics? I just stripped off whatever finish was on there with sandpaper and then some paint thinner, put on a coat of primer and then just painted whatever I wanted using standard acrylics and paintbrushes. Let it dry for a couple of days, then put about 5-6 coats of spray lacquer on it, letting each coat dry for about 3 hours, then a for about 3 days at the end just to make sure it hardened all the way.

Members tommyld Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 NO BATTERY SNAP? I like using batteries for me fuzzers... those evil toxic earth killers Without getting into the debate on batteries (yeah, I do subscribe to this)... The Starve/Texture knob lets you start at full voltage (whether 9v or 12v) and quickly dial in any amount of squishy-dying-battery-ness. Not a dying battery simulator, but an actual 1:1 does-the-exact-thing knob. As soon as cost allows me to do Li-ion batteries, I swear I'm going to build pedals with them inside. Of course, rechargeable through the jack...but they'd probably last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gunner Recall Posted July 2, 2009 Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 any chance pedals with your art will ever hit the market? Robo styled ab/absynths will be at fuzzhugger on monday. Nice demos robo...usually I have to stack a few devi's to get weird arpeggiator sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted July 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2009 Nice demos robo...usually I have to stack a few devi's to get weird arpeggiator sounds. thanx I was having trouble with the "synth" part of it then I realized it needs to be the first pedal the guitar sees. Turns the guitar volume knob into a whole new control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
