I've circuit bent a few DOD dirt boxes of varying flavors and they all seem to be able to make this sound. Very fun, but limited usefulness as a pedal (works well as a single-oscillator synth). You should try putting a potentiometer in the bend to get some more use out of it.
I don't get the turn off to strange new sounds for some people. No sound is inherently *bad* - Just like how one of our song recordings had us hitting a filing cabinet with a drum stick and recording it. Sounded great.
lol u could say that about effects pedal users in general, to me any sound is a good sound id rather have two pedals exact the same, and one would be circuit bent and then wow two amazinglyt different sounds
look at what brian eno robert fripp jimi hendrix did with effects,
a true guitarist isnt turned off to any sound he/she can get from their guitar
actually a true sound virtuoso isnt turned off to any sound he/she can get from an instrument whereas a true guitarist loves nothing more than the pure sound of a guitar. effects pedals are only for thickening out the sound, whereas the circuit benders just make a lot of annoying noise.
i was just about to say that when i saw you're first comment. Music is music man, whereas shit like hannah montana just isn't music. in my op anyways.
:P
Sounds heaps cool btw. kinda hides the guitar a tad thoo
Dude, hanna montana blows, but circuit bending blows way more! It's noise for no talent ass clowns! Sorry bro, I understand turntables as an instrument, but this is fucking stupid, and yes I've heard other shit, not just this dude dicking around.
@nickothompson he's not claiming to have talent, it takes only the simple understanding of a current to circuit bend, but thats not the point, its just fun, dicking around is the entire reason he made the video, stop taking things the wrong way, be positive. And god yes hanna montana is pathetic! XD
well thats ok you go listen to your fag rock or whatever it is you enjoy and stay away from us noise junkies who appreciate that not everything has to sound 'nice'
yeah experimenting is never a bad thing but what you find when you experiment can be - like this "sound" that a circuit bender makes. thats not music man thats like something you would use in a car alarm
I find it to be a question of who uses it. Some people make the most beautiful music with the right effects, wheras alot of people will use these kind of sounds for.. soundmaking.
@AirGuitarChampion or you've just never heard of any bands that can actually creatively use these sounds like mr. bungle(there's a lot of circuit bending in the disco volante album) and the residents!
Hey picure. Loved the sounds coming out of the pedal. Listen, this guy posted a comment about making a video on how to circuit bend with a switch (to bypass with). I'd love to circuit bend, but I have no clue how. Would it be possible 4 u to please post a "how to..." video?
Thanks alot for your comment. But seriously, out of all the instruments I play, guitar is my least competent instrument. I am currently working alot on my guitar playing these days. Soon I should have a video of me showcasing my playing on the guitar.
not for quite a while yet id say as you are shit and there are enough vids of shit guitarists on here already, spend ur time practicing rather than filming yourself, that would be a good start. id give it 5 to ten years mate at least.
nice work. youve almost made a primitive theramin! good stuff

Just because you like experimenting with sounds doesn't mean you're any less of a true guitarist.
Some of the best guys out there combine crazy noises with beatifully played "pure guitar" sounds. Experimenting is never a bad thing.

circuit bending is when you take an electronic ( in this case, guitar effect pedal) and purposely ruin it to get crazy sounds.
