i like how he has a lever labeled "breakdown"
i guess after ZVex's candle tremolo something like this was inevitable. i like it.

So, you think he built that thing between NAMM and now?

Marble thing is wicked cool. Can't even begin to comprehend the engineering that had to go into making that thing function properly. Fantastic.
Saw the Zvew candle vibe thing. I actually want one really bad. Like, definitely will never be viable live, but studio wise it would. And just as an art piece I would love to have it around. Mechanical devices like that really interest me.

And also, people have been making weird mechanical shit for a while. Let's not give zvex an even bigger head.
Ps. this is the greatest thing I have seen in I don't know how long.
