Title: FLABERGASTER... ...Piiitchewww Pitchooww!
Post by: GrindCustoms on December 23, 2013, 04:57:38 AM
Madbean Kraken (Mutron MicroV) with added modulation and fuzz at the output.

Been working on this thing for a while now.. this kind of being the proto of something greater to come.

Went though couple badlucks while building this, i first had another Kraken populated and tested but while boxing it up i misconnected something and i fried the whole thing...   :o

So i took the other Kraken that i had boxed and put it in there.

The LFO section does the same sine wave that the Shoot the Moon does and a perfect On/Off stutter and that'where some of the fun is, Lazer Sounds!!!

There's like 5 or 6 postions where it's really fun to have the LFO connected in Sine wave mode, getting sounds really close to phaser with a strong vowel thingy. And that's why one of the On/Off/On switch to route the LFO has one position un-soldered, still have to spend some time deciding wich will be the best since i'm stuck with only 2 positions in this one.

The Fuzz is the Temple of Giants but i think i'll swap it out for a PitFighter, sounds tighter will be more approriate for the purpose and there's also and impedance fuckup happening at the input of the ToG when working with Envellope, it sounds ok, but could be better.

Anyway...here it is.

Nope.... not able to get exactly what i want yet.. will start over again, i now know what i need to add and what to take out.

The phase thingy is dead spot on tho, really liking what it's giving me.

Will post updates and try to get soundclips too, because it deserves it somehow.
