the blargg-o-tron-o-tron rocks my socks thread!!!

[jrmy]

I got mine yesterday!!!!!!!

But I probably won't be able to plug it in until this weekend.

Of course, that doesn't stop me from gazing lovingly at the knobs and imagining what it might do.

I will definitely post bass clips as soon as I gots 'em.

[Gunner Recall]

Mine also arrived the other day...haven't been able to plug it in yet

[jrmy]

All right - got an hour to start messing around with it. This thing is INSANE! So many great possibilities in this little box. And I friggin' love the modulation! Recording clips of this one is gonna be fu-uu-uu-un!

If you notice, it actually IS rocking my socks

[jrmy]

All right, these are nowhere near as BASS-IN-YR-FACE-tastic as Eric's, but CLIPS! I HAZ THEM!

As always, my signal chain goes passive Fender Jazz bass into Blargg into M-Audio FastTrack Pro into Garageband INTO YOUR EARS!

General "settings" and timings go like so:

0:00 - 0:08 - clean
0:08 - 0:25 - Blargg octavey
0:25 - 0:45 - nasal, more active
0:45 - 1:06 - thinner, more active
1:06 - 1:30 - mosquito
1:30 - 1:50 - chop switch left, speed/depth/pulse @noon
1:50 - 2:10 - chop left, deep & slow
2:10 - 2:31 - chop left, nasal
2:31 - 2:54 - chop left, mosquito
2:54 - 3:15 - chop ctr, s/d/p @noon
3:15 - 3:36 - chop ctr, deep & slow
3:36 - 3:57 - chop ctr, nasal fast
3:57 - 4:17 - chop ctr, mosquito
4:17 - 4:36 - chop rt, s/d/p noon *FAVE
4:36 - 4:59 - chop rt, deep slow
4:59 - 5:20 - chop rt, nasal fast
5:20 - 5:40 - chop rt, pre-mosquito
5:20 - 5:57 - chop rt, noodling 1
5:57 - 6:18 - chop rt, noodling 2
6:18 - 6:45 - chop rt, noodling 3
6:45 - 7:14 - chop rt, noodling 4
7:14 - end - chop rt, noodling 5

I have to say, of all the modes, I really really really love the random modulation offered up with the "chop" switch to the right. Also, if you have an EHX Freeze (or other means of drone-ification), the Blargg is a MUST HAVE (well, if you can get one) - the choppiness is just so perfect for mucking up (in the best possible way) long, drawn-out stuff. I'm'a have to do a drone track or ten with this puppy next.

I actually have my camera back now!

[Bassus Sanguinis]

oh cocks and bollocks - I really should have got one of these it's clearly a freaking wonderful piece of mad ass fuzz!

Hey - if there's enough demand, maybe Brian will bring 'em back! And who knows... if you pester him directly, maybe he'll make you one...

[oldangelmidnight]

Oh, look what I found...

[Eric!]

The boner comes forth.

[univalve]

This pedal is so much fun. Got a really cool fuukd up idea with it (and funky beat ) AWESOME

[kbit]

Yeah, I'd be interested in one of these if another run is possible. & A MOUNTAIN RANGE

[Eric!]

I MISS IT.
