Wow, both of you guys were right. I started tweaking things and
noticed that i was able to make some pretty eery pads. Also i think
Dan was right about the amp, it is ALOT louder through my computer or
headphones. So either way this is working out. Now..where do i get
batteries(what kind), cause i know one day i'm going to accidentally
unplug this thing.

thanks guys
