Not only Nic Cage, but also his twin brother. I wonder why he never did any other movies?

P.S. Adaptation is a super underrated movie.

This is really cool!

But I am a dumb ass, what do you plan on doing with the parts? Make rad fuzz?

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.

i knew it wasn't going to be a wire recorder

Thats so fucking cool Ugly. Those Nic Cage film pieces are super underrated toan enhancers.

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.

man, nobody here is old enough to get that joke.

idk, they say the child is father to the man, except that one you mentioned - i think he was pooped out by a malfunctioning lead smelter....

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.

I didn't have the LAL46, but the LAL45 was for very sure one of the best fuzz pedals hat I had the opportunity to play with:

You better know it'll be part of the build

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

i figured it's just one of those things that happen with small switches. i didn't think you faked me or anything.

nice haul! Those multi-colored industrial buttons would look sooooo cool on a pedal. Do they light up too?

Also fiy,that company still exists, they're customers of the company where i work

I was almost forgetting:
Outgoing: Tensor
Incoming: Tensor (but with a more recent s/n so i can upgrade the firmware and get 8s of looping time)
