death by audio robot

here's my build. I shot a video but it is over 20 minutes just going through all the sounds so I have to try to edit it down.

Cool!  I'm looking forward to the demo video

here is my second try at making a video. the first one was 20 minutes of nothing so I tried playing back some loops through it so I could be hands on the pedal. it starts out with acoustic, then goes to electric.

Wow a realy nice box
Who cares if it's not exactly like the DBA robot,
your effect has some really cool sound
Nice Video BTW

I started playing around with this design today. It's really, really cool! I came up with some interesting ideas on how to add and LFO and envelope to the frequency control. I'm going to try a different input stage, too and a couple other tricks. This is something that will definitely happen in terms of a project

That's awesome.  I'm really psyched!  Can't wait to build it.

This is a wild effect! I really enjoyed the video Mike posted awhile back. I would be very interested in building this.

I've already taken it up to 8 knobs. I think I may have to reel it in a bit.

Wow 
Tones from outerspace are coming!

Lots of interest in that Holtek IC lately.

Can't wait to see what Bean comes up with.

Bump 

Brian, did anything ever come of this?

[madbean]

I actually am about ready to get back to it. I haven't touched it in a few months but it was already quite close to being finished. I'd like to get it done for March, I think.

tell me it does something like a dubstep wobble!

[madbean]

I have no idea what that is, so....yes?

I think he's talking about the "wub-wub" you hear in a lot of dubstep songs.

To do dubstep live with instruments and do it right, you need some fancy gadgets, like these guys:

The bass player makes the wub-wub with this odd glove that is like a proximity detector. Wacky
