I'm thinking about a build around it now. It'll probably be like an piezo instrument/sound box with an axoloti doing all the post processing. So piezo picks up different sounds I make (string trees, texture pads (sandpaper, velcro etc), maybe a hurdy hurdy droneish thing? Dunno yet) and sends it to the axo connected to all the buttons, knobs and toggles. Probably pre and post HP/LP filtering, sampler looper and reverb, probably. So, sort of a folktek garden, I suppose. We'll see. No time for it now, but maybe this summer/fall.
snagged the LAL 46 Sooper Fuzz that was up in BST. i wonder how David Clayton-Thomas ever got ahold of one. it's certainly a thing. at first i thought it was broken because Mode 1 didn't work at all, but i was able to fix that by unscrewing/slightly repositioning the toggle. a merry hour or so ensued of twiddling the internal trim pot so everything above 8 on Gain wasn't totally unuseable. i set it so it just barely starts to feed back when it's maxed out. my favorite thing about it is that when you hit a major 3d on the low strings it spits out this hilariously dissonant triad that makes me giggle out loud. we'll see how in integrates into my world.

I always feel that if a pedal can make me laugh the first time I plug it in, we're going to get along fine.

Damn I totally forgot to mess with the trimmer . Sorry for the switch troubles, it didn't do that whilst I had it.
