Ha, just posted a video of that on that feedback loop thread.

My Xerograph is proving itself useful for the generic spacious drone-rock post-fuck genre project I've recently started. Self oscillation is really cool, albeit not terribly original. I'm going to have to pick up a cable splitter so I can use my distortion pedals as oscillators too.
By modulating the repeats on my delay, I can pretty readily approach ring mod and arpeggiator sounds. That's always fun.

i love using pedals as oscillators. the Boss BF-2 is amazing for this all you have to do is crank the resonance trimpot, depending how you dial the knobs in you can get normal simple tones or wacky spaceship vibrato shit, so good. and if you stack them in series they modulate each other and the tones become more complex, once there's 3 or more you can basically leave them going and the sequence takes so long to loop it sounds like an infinite generative pattern.

I don't know if this is completely unintended, but I've been using my Meet Maude as a lo-fi random vibrato.

I use any cheap pedal as a 1/4 plug holder to solder my cables.

I'm going to have to try this with my BF2 and maybe pick up another one. How do you run pedals in series?

How slow does the Xerograph get?

On the Beavis audio site some dude made a pipe for rockin the gunge out of a boss overdrive pedal. Might have to make contact and see how he done it and build one for myself. Perfect for using in the car when I don't want to risk spilling the water pipe.

Only one I can think of is using a Dwarfcraft Memento into oscillating pedals and creating weird beats and soundscapes. I hardly ever use it while playing guitar, but to turn my pedalboard into a sort of weird tabletop board/tweaking playground.

Not sure why nobody hasn't posted this video here yet. Last like 30 seconds here is classic unintindered use of pedal:

That asshole plays better using a pedal than I can with a pick.

output of first pedal -> input of second pedal

I have a cavedweller skully made that works as a pretty loud boost if needed, very cool sounding.
