You can find this strange delay effect and other DIY audio goodness at WRONGROOM.

Along the same lines is this great video I found.  Analog sequencer in a cigar box is cool enough but controlling other circuit bent gadget is just beautiful noise.

From Kendall Scott is a Basic Guide to Understanding EQ.  A good graphics for visual learners.  You also can check out my EQ Guidelines & Free Tools.

Robin Schmidt’s Music Engineering Tools has a every practical and useful VST ptich shifter if you scroll down the page.  ANd check out the other stuff also.

Euphoria Magazine has this list of strange and wonderful instruments.

Found this cool video on EtherBomb. The one man band is alive.

For those of you that want to turn back the clock and stopping buy the new versions of music software every and just happen to have a old ST in the closet should check out Tim’s Atari Midi World. A nice page on Cubase on Atari.  It is where most of this computer music business started.  It really is not as diffent as you would think after such a long evelotion.  I now a lot of people still use it squence.  Why not?

I caught this post from Circuit Bent on modding a Danelectro FAB echo. That is where the video above comes from. They are pretty cool modded pedals though I would rather have the guts of the completely rehoused in a better non-cheap plastic enclosure. But that is just my personal preference.

This reminded I started to do this a while ago and got sided tracked by having entirely too many interests and be the scatter brained absent mind most of the time. The pedal got lost in the mists of time. I should finish it. It can be such a cool pedal.

The thing that is so attractive about the FAB Echo is they are so damn cheap & I got mine on sale. You can’t find a cheap platform to mod. It use a pretty common chip for echo pedals both DIY and commerical designs the PT2399. So, there is a knowledge base of what you can do with it(see links below.) You can bent it or add a lot to it or simply make it more than the slapback unit it was design to be. It can be a bit trick though with two boards cramemd into the plastic shell and SMD components.
