Metal Zone wackiness.

[korovamilkdud]

So the other night I'm poking around in my Metal Zone with a little capacitor and I hit this one location that makes a loud "moooop" sound. "hmmm, kinda cool" thinks I. I try other values along the same circuit and go different pitches. Almost like you could play a tune by just poking this circuit with caps.

So I went into Radio Shack and got a rotary switch. We'll see if I can make my Metal Zone into a metal zone/pitchshifter.

When you dial the knob on some settings on my Johnson DEQ you get some weird sounds like you describe.

That'll be a trick to pull off live. :banana:

And it'd be more interesting than what i hear MOST people ge out of Metalzones, which is varying pitches of static.

I like that pedal but not enough people know how to use on properly.

Metal Zones can be a lot of fun after they're modded. Keeley has a clip on his site that sounds huge. Mine sounds quite a bit louder and fuller than it did stock.

To update: it lives. It kinda sounds like R2-D2, it's funny. :laugh2:

Perfect for the upcoming Star Wars flick...the new MT-2 R2-D2 mod! (man that's a funny name.)
