But what is it?

Post by: Ian Price on February 03, 2012, 10:54:55 PM: It looks like some sort of all-in-one Echo, Tremolo, LFO and Fuzz pedal to me.

Post by: WezV on February 04, 2012, 12:44:01 AM: yeah, i am just scr@ping the surface so far but it all seems to be about playing the pedal

although i was quite surprised how quiet the pedal could be.

i.e. hit a power chord - pure sonic mayhem. mute it and it stops instantly, depending how the echo is set of course. it makes it almost controllable sonic mayhem

still more fun to let the power chord ring and start tweaking the knobs ;)

Remember when we all met up and huw forced you to play 2 insane pedals chained together? It sounded like an air raid siren on an acid trip. This is effectively those pedals all in one box and is almost completely useless but also completely brilliant at the same time.

Post by: WezV on February 19, 2012, 06:50:26 PM: decided to record a little play with Alice this morning.

its all a bit random, but shows how all these elements start to come together :D

I seem to settle of dirty pulsating synth sounds more often than not :)

I haven't really recovered from making 2 of them. I keep promising after each one to make one for me. But they're a bit of a pain to do so I keep putting it off. Maybe when we eventually get caught up!

Post by: XxpapertigerxX on February 20, 2012, 06:17:05 PM: I can understand that, it looks like it's a crazy build. I checked out your website- it's awesome. I especially love your pedal graphics. Do you make any other synth type pedals, especially fuzz sytnh like when the Alice has the LFO and the fuzz engaged?
Title: Re: Alice 2
Post by: juansolo on February 20, 2012, 06:22:44 PM: That's essentially the UF+LFO pedal on it's own. Just made one for Mr Air here:

Rebote 2.5 (http://juansolo.demon.co.uk/stompage/schematics/Sabro/Chorus-Tremolo-Delay-Reverb/Rebote-Delay-2.5.gif) We don't fit the infinite repeats switch, instead we make it so you can turn the knob all the way and get it.
