Playing with my circuit bent toy phone!

I circuit bent this phone about 8 months ago. As you can hear in the beginning of the video the phone is still capable of making the factory default sounds, but with a couple of switch flips the phone will begin reacting in strange ways. One switch distorts, one speeds up, one glitches, and there are two more that do similar things. There is also a knob I added to the front that can be turned to tweak the sound of the glitch. Combining these effects and triggering them at different times can produce strange effects. I can get it to make new sounds pretty often.

The phone was acting a little weird in this take. When it stops making sound it's locking up and I have to do a hard reset. I was able to make the phone produce some very interesting sounds in this video.
