I started on them, but I haven't had a chance to finish them yet, kind of busy with other things. I haven't ruined the pedal though, and after I clipped the wires I rememembered how to wire it up so that it works. I tested it and it does. I need to fix my soldering job up a bit.

I am almost done. Got to touch up some of the soldering and paint it a bit more.

This is amazing... I've drawn up plans for a four/five string sub-bass instrument and I've been trying to figure out what to do for the tuning pegs/electronics. Is this forum viewable to the general public?

nicfit 08.13.2007 12:46 PM

I want sound samples!

Cantankerous 08.13.2007 01:17 PM

finally we get some damn creativity on this board.
looks neat.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.13.2007 02:37 PM

I'm YSIing some sound samples. It is kind of noisey. I'm gonna fix that pretty soon.

The forum isn't viewable to the general public. It was started as a breakoff forum to the Harmony-central.com effects forum. I can copy and paste my post from there.


For those of you that are on haunting mids forum, plz vote for me in the voting post Beavis started, because I'm tied for first!

OK. . . I'm gonna paint my entry a little bit more today (the design on the top isn't done yet) and touch up the soldering (my soldering iron tip needs replaced bad, and I need to get better solder)

but it is pretty much done. . .

I call it the Hari Kari Krishna. It is a 4 string instrument made out of the following things:
a dpdt switch
a johnson chorus pedal
a crappy no name neck humbucker
a crappy set of guitar tuners with only 4 working pegs.
4 strings
wood
a piece of plastic
dry wall screws
paint

You play it either with a slide or by bending behind the nut. It is basically an eastern sounding noise instrument. It is fun to play with ring mod and delay

Wow, that sounds creepy.

scott v 08.13.2007 03:42 PM

wicked!

i should perhaps create something out of the spare guitar parts, hardware and electronics that i have just laying around...

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.13.2007 03:47 PM

I want to make a "harp" sometime.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.14.2007 10:39 AM

I won second place and I'm getting a mystery pedal :D

CHOUT 08.14.2007 01:33 PM

Congrats man, I woulda voted for you but I hadn't been on there lately.

fugazifan 08.14.2007 01:40 PM
