I try to stay away from reality; it hurts my head. I also notice that in reality I am 2 inches shorter than I am in theory.

No thats gravity that makes us shorter ; ]



hey another thing you reminded me of MrP is something I always wanted to replicate but have never seen...

like i said i used a Korg Stage Echo (multi head tape machine) alot , and once the tape got garbled and crunched in one spot ---- this had a long tape in and everyonce in a while the crunched spot would roll by and make this cool sound, it was sort of t he way thunder decys or maybe the sonic equivalent of the old Star Trek transporter as you could kind of make out the shape but it was dissolving ..........

I think it would be cool to run a seriously crinkled tape but sort of side chained like the ADT that you could add to taste......

the perfect delay for me would have random wobble and erratic garbling available 8) :mrgreen:

A chorus pedal that doesn't thin out my tone. An analog delay from BJ. I've also asked BJ about a tunable stand alone buffer. Oh, and the perfect wah from BJ too!

One thing and one thing only, stereo Mini Vibe. :shock: I asked BJ about it a while ago, but never pestered him beyond that. I wouldn't even use it stereo most of the time, but having that option would be so cool.

still chasing?.....i think im close, but D.Trucks in a box would be nice,,combo of p/ups/amp/speakers is quite unique sound..
always interested in any kind of new modulation effects , who knows what can happen with those!
hmm and the right bass fuzz has been elusive too.

edit,,almost forgot to mention especially for modulation a...smallish box leslie sim capable of fast speed sim.

vibe first ~ trower setting
then phaser ~ at faster lighter speeed

and if you can dial the speed with the foot, it sounds cool to have one be varied against the stationalry one....

yeah this has been talked about - thing is it would require a great bit of reworking to have it move in a stereo field --- your almost better just putting a stereo pedal after it and let it do the splitting, youll still get the vibe sound.....................
