Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

My '800 and '440 arrived today! Whoo-hoo! Time to get building again! I
think I'll do the '800 first, just to get back into the soldering frame of
mind, though. Well, that and to let the sultans of the soldering iron weed
out the rough patches. ;)

On a sperate note, a friend of mine lent me a Alesis SR-16 drum machine a
few days ago, and I plugged it in last night. Of course, the first thing I
did was plug the output into my '120 (which then went out into another FX
box). HOT DAMN!!! Skinny Puppy never knew sounds like that! That thing
produced some of the UGLIEST distorted drum sounds I've ever had the
pleasure of expiriencing. I am SO in love! On the '120, I set the input to
square wave, and added a touch of the 2nd and 3rd suboctaves. That then
went out to the FX box, which added some reverb, more distortion (which
really cranked the volume as much as anything else), and then flanger or
compressor. To be fair, the FX box added some roundness to the sound, but
I'm looking foward to the MOTM phaser and '440 to take over that position.
I forget, is there a MOTM compressor in the works? And if not, perhaps
there should be...?

My friend may never see his drum machine again, thanks to the '120...

--PBr, anxious to get off work, happy happy happy...
