Re: The Big(ish) Idea (WOW)

WOW

what can I say, I thought I would leave the question to brew for a couple 
of 
days and see if anyone replied with a few tips to help me 
build.........................Dang!!

I have so much info and stuff that I hope you will all forgive me if I 
take 
a couple of days just to actually think WHAT I want now!!

The way I was looking to use my unit was very differant to  an actual 
tremelo, but seeing as people have ran with the idea in that  direction I 
should add that the Addrenalinn has Temelo Sequencing meaning 16 steps 
that 
can be anything from completley off to totally on and all volumes between. 
this is a very versatile effect and is midi sequencable to the edp.

this thread has had SO many weird Deja-vu type moments as well.

The thread started to look at guys with plate operated guitar controls, 
would you believe, I remember as a kid of 16 thinking this was something 
Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead was useing for the Excact same effect during 
a 
live performance, it wasnt, he was actually using the  pickup switch 
trick!! 
but he also wore a wrist splint which looked like Lever to a teenage eye!! 
I 
am amazed at how this came full circle, as the effect that I first sheard 
Jonny using at that very time  is something I was still thinking about 
when 
I began to formulate a floor-based altenative in my mind, and the fact 
that 
such a device DOES exist inreality ......again WOW.

Another weird thing is the floor rocker control............hehe the first 
home-brew-pedal I thought I would design and sell was EXCACTLY this but 
used 
an arm mechinisim culled from a wrench/plumbers screwdriver set. as you 
rock 
the foot forward it drives the internal thread which turns the arm end, 
mine 
is I believe more stable and also uses a thumb wheel to screw down on the 
knob side so you dont have to remove the knob cover.

however, upon completing mine I found one of the old electroharmonix ones 
on 
Ebay UK. It was the first time i saw one I swear!! so that dashed that 
ideas 
originality (and of selling them to all my loopy friends) , so I tried 
again 
with this design........hahaha
by the rate that everyone is getting their heads around this pedal it 
looks 
like I have missed the goal again, oh well, I will pay my student loan off 
someday............maybe a guitar that triggers emotive smell samples?!?!?
