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...
