I suck at waiting, but there are things on this list I didn't know it would do in the first place. Like chorus. So, I try to wait patiently. :lol:

Yes - it's on the drones only - not the guitar at all, and it's not adjustable in any way, and you can't turn it off.....
BTW it has to be there because without it you can't hear any delay on the drone at all! There needs to be some pitch 'movement' of the note against the pitch of the repeats.

Hi - I wanted to let you all know that this morning we finally solved the last of the major problems we needed to overcome with the Drone Rainger!!!

We're now about to make our last prototype PCB from scratch, incorporating all the changes, and it should (hopefully) work OK! This takes about a day and a half.

If that's good the production PCB will then be laid out, and if all goes well we should be pulling the trigger on manufacturing early next week!
It'll be about three weeks from then till we have the first pedals ready to go out.....

It's been an intense period of work - and it feels like a huge achievement!
Thanks for hanging on - I'll be in touch....

would it be possible to mod cv in so a sequencer could step the drone note of pitch 1?
