they're ordering the stompswitches and power jacks today and i should have them hopefully by next wednesday.

i'd pm this but i can't figure out how to sent to multiple people at once and doing it three times separately violates my vow of efficiency.

Cool. Thanks exhausted!
Is there a output jack on this box that plugs into the phone line, so we can all play together on our answering machines and record a CD?

triple PM sounds like an Orgy

I can't wait to see those pedals.

in other GCP news, i'm going to make 1 and 2 loop bypass boxes too i think.

i think i'm going to concentrate on making nifty utility pedals that are cheaper than the other stuff out there.

rob · September 2003

Do you need aged beechwood boxes?
I've got plenty here now. I just got a lumber delivery in my front yard, Oh God it looks heavy! Well, back to work. Man my home looks different now than it did a week ago!

Pacomc79 · September 2003

so like a routing box Ex? that sounds cool. Some hard to get gadget pedals include, Fender Vibro Champ switches for the vibro and reverb, Chicks dig the Vibro so you need the switch.

Channel witching for Orange TC's though orange just made a switch, and just general cool looking LED boxes. It'd be neat if you could build a volume pedal like Visual sound that lights up more as you step on it.

Somewhere on my box I want it to say custom built for Paco.

exhausted · September 2003

just utility boxes yes.

my brain is working on a loop selector and allows either two loops in series or with a toggle switch flick, two loops in parallel with a blend control. who knows if it would be useful.

anything beyond simple routing and i have to learn how to make circuit boards. never mind learning more circuit theory too.

i saw that 4ms takes barter, maybe i could give them a couple switches for a tremulus kit.

I always wanted a box that I could stomp when the band was a bit lost, or we were fucking up,
It would say,,, "Oh the humanity, Oh god, it's the most horrible thing in the world" aka what the guy said when the Hindenburg went down.

I'd pay for that!

sampler pedal. my line6 dl4 can do it. the DD-6 sample time isn't long enough.

zvex makes one that looks awesome. 20sec sample time. and it saves the sample after you power down.

Pacomc79 · September 2003

You know what would be cool, some kind of tone generator.

Like a box that says, never under any circumstances touch this button. It could just have Red LED's all around the sides or something and make wierd noises.

exhausted · September 2003

like the 1000 dollar 4ms picofreakogirowaveformgeneratorfromhellthing?

Pacomc79 · September 2003

exactly the pico who si whatsis. I guess its pretty worthless, but you know that Zvex Machine that distorts the middle instead of the outside of the wave. Something that just makes noise and maybe detunes like a ring mod that turning nobs you could play with the sound, Very Johnny Greenwood.

You could call it Johnny on the spot and make it look like Porta- Potty.

exhausted · September 2003

all of these things are way beyond the scope of my knowledge or ability. i took one circuits class. i was an industrial eng student.

anyway, i got the circuit for the loop blender sorted out. now to see how much blend pots are.

No No No, I want a custom made one statement pedal, custom made by GCP!
I don't do samples well. too complex for my brain. Just a pedal that looks like a blimp?

BTW, I just looked at a Zvex 1/2 watt amp, but ended up getting a 1 watt Martone amp. It's frikkin awesome and cheaper ( 325 bucks ) Made by John Martin.

Pacomc79 · September 2003

nah you got it right man, I was just daydreaming.

I don't have enough effects yet to use it as I still need a Reverb pedal a better flanger, chorus, microvibe and Delay. Maybe even a fuzz, the Keeley rat does the Big Muff thing easy but I want a germanium Jimi type fuzz. And a new Strat and a vintage Fender Vibrolux or Super Reverb and a SG with P-90's

exhausted · September 2003

how about i give send you my old cassette player with a stompswitch glued to the play button? that's about as fancy as i could get. but i'll work on it.

exhausted · September 2003

if i get an sd-1 it's going straight to keeley for modding.

Oh, is all I need? Hmm, cool. How about a switch for the rewind, too. Sold!

exhausted · September 2003

oh, and i figured out how to do my loop order swap thing.

Pacomc79 · September 2003

yeah a Keeley BD-2 is high on the list too. I'm going to trade my direct drive maybe. That Freak Driver looks cool but 200 bones and a month wait is a long time.

I'm considering the OC 44 equipped Java Boost but that runs 225 as does the incomprable Keeley Comp I want so much to try, I wish my Dyna Comp didn't buzz but the Analog man mod is 85 bucks+ shipping and then David Barber has this new Tone Press with the Blend knob to keep the comp from killing your attack while still giving a nice squeeze and its 130 so well I need to sell some pedals I guess.
