 only one made : SOLD   

description  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  

 

this is a very bent arion digital delay with a 36 point banana jack patchbay rehoused into a slanted desktop case. it is the same delay that i used in the AMNESIO SL-0.6 but taken a lot farther.

some standard changes i made - replaced all the pots ( and changed some values ), added a violet LED, brought out the power switch, 9v adaptor jack, 1/4" mono input and 2 mono outputs, pushbutton bypass switch, the slow / fast switch and added a metal battery clip inside.

for the bends - first there is a new bend boringly called "clock" that lets you adjust the clocks range and as a result lets you underclock the delay down to the crushy garbage. also lets you dial in a nice range of comb filtering with the time knob. i added a new boost knob that will add a nice amount of gain ( even when bypassed ) all the way up to obliteration of everything. still have the two boost toggles for different enormous volume boosts in the feedback path sending it into self-oscillation and mayhem. also finally found a formal crash point and added a toggle for that. then i added a 36 point patchbay using standard banana jacks. 5 cables are included and each has a stackable plug on either end so you can build infinitely off of any patch point if you want. many of the jacks will also respond as touch contacts while holding another if you want to use your fingers in place of cables. not every single patch point will yield a bend with every other point, but i'd say about 60% of the points will work with every single bend at minimum. quite a few will react to every point. also some points will react differently with different switches flipped and certain knobs settings. most of the patch points will still function with the bypass off and some will act as mutes and bypasses themselves.

the bottom most photo is there to show you a chip i took out of the right rim with the drill press. not that bad but i felt you should know. also i forgot to the label the input and outputs on the back when i did the graphics so i have a slightly different nut on the end of the input ( far left) to help you tell them apart.

\\\\\   be cautious some of these can get loud in places  \\\\\

these samples are just me using random edited reaktor patches and feeding the paraphrase directly. as usual no eq, effect, compression or musical intent were used. i usually started out with a clean source, then clean delays and using the boost knob to show the distortion sound, then started altering the time and clock knobs and hitting switches, then moved on to randomly patching different points in the bay, so there are lots of dropouts and unpretty noises. i only tried to dial in a timed delay and get rhythmic bend results in the top couple of samples. the last three use no input whatsoever, the results are from using the boost switches and patchbay to create different oscillations and then shape them.

note:::  i prefer to make samples that show the full range of possibilities and sweep everything as far as it will go rather then stopping and showing simple sound options. you will have to use your imagination and stop the knobs in your head to get an idea of what’s truly possible with what you will be using it for.
