Well, if he wants a polytope (or if someone buys it) then he can knock on my door.

Hell, a top jack one (bonus points for black) or a bubble gum pink one will do the trick too. :lol:

ANYWAYS

I've yet to try my PY on my Bass VI, but it's legit one of the things I'm most excited about. :!!!:

Picked up mine yesterday an played it at the band practice. Very good pedal. I also got an octave down delayed sound out of it. Shit will be epic once i can sit down with this for a while...
Thanks Brian for this great pedal!

I just uploaded (iPhone) audio of my last solo noise set. Sax, organelle, and guitar improv. My signal chain was instrument --> Pitchfactor (only on during the Organelle section) --> Pretty Years (occasionally CV controlled by an 8-Step Program) --> ss/bs No Memory --> Dwarfcraft Happiness.
The PY is on for the entire set, and the Happiness creeps in after 5-6 minutes and stays on for a while before I got it to send CV to the Pretty Years. There's hella sounds hidden in here. The weird chirpy forest sounds about halfway through come from the Pretty Years with no input (only CV manipulation).

solo tunes:
completed works || loosey goosey releases
associated acts:
Raab Zamboni (fake jazz/real noise//sax, modular synth, editing, misc) || Field Guide (my best friends//sax on 2 tracks)

I make t-shirts, patches, koozies, buttons, CDs, sometimes tapes, and eventually i'll start working on pedals again. DM me for pricing!

Sitting and listening without doing much else for the first time, I love the production. Awesome sounds all round.

A little more playing with the Pretty Years, it's juuuuust on the usable side of completely insane, IE the best place to be?k

Yeah somehow woo! No idea how it got through, classic random customs decision.

And I'll give some more "normie" clips a go tonight. :thumb:

Here's me playing around with Pretty Years, keeping it relatively tame. Found a range of very cool distortion + filter sounds, I'm starting to understand more how to get stuff out of it??

There's bits here using the LP, BP and HP filter modes I think. I kind of got carried away and cut down to this from a lot of very long jams. All these settings were super inspiring!!
