The delay thing i have been enjoying for the last few days.
It is a concept that i actually had almost a couple years ago, but just sort of put aside for want of cheaper delay chips. Now i have some cheaper delay chips, and i have finally gotten around to putting something together to play with.
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so ... D=11455720That is a long ass file. First the bypass, then like seven+ minutes of twiddling with the various delays.
To get the thing together quickly and in such a fashion as it would fit on the breadboard, i left out all of the noise reduction bits that the delay chips need for the time being. That and the simple fact that it is on the breadboard, combine to not help at all with the circuit's noise level, but it is still fun as hell to play with.
This is just one arrangement of the delays, with them all running into each other. The final behemoth will have switching so that they can be cascaded like this, or run parallel as separate delays. Also, this is just mono, the full beast will have the ability, when in parallel mode, so send any of the delays to a left or right output for proper pingpong mindfucking.
I am calling it the Bouncing Ball at the moment.
Aslo, as it is on the board now, each delay is as simple as they get, basically just a time control and a fixed repeats and output level. In proper form, each one will have adjustable delay, level, repeats, and probably, tone, controls.
Aslo aslo, the distorto swells (like 6:20ish i think) are just hitting the strings hard in multiple strikes, as the fixed value repeats are currently set up not to allow full on oscillation, just borderline almost-oscillation.
It may not come across on the too-long clip, but i am really enjoying this toy and cannot wait to get it together properly in a box with all of bells/whistles it desires.
