How high do you have to boost your guitar signal before plugging into it? Are you using a regular mixing or a guitar pedal volume booster or overdrive pedal? At 2:12 it sounds awesome.

thanks for the comment. i am sending signal to the a.p.c. from a little smokey amp in the video, no effects just a.p.c. any device that will boost the signal will work.

Using pin 5 of the NE555 to modulate the output?

[theproperboy]

pin 3.

[properboy]

just some mojo i guess, i prefer the sond of the circuit with them, they are hand made, and the same ones used in old neve consoles and marshalls. not cheap either.

what's so special about that electrolytic capacitor?

[properboy]

i know what you mean, but you can always expand on this work. i am at my workbench right now trying to make a .50 cent sound chip sound like a 50,000 buchla :-)

@properboy that's weird, I was just toying with the idea of sending the guitar signal through the cv input. My new motto is "if it's a good idea, someone else has done it better already"

[properboy]

guitar input jack goes to one of the two CV inputs on the 556 chip.

Schematic?



[properboy]

always trying to find the new ways to work with sound, either through experiments with hardware electronics or techno!

[Archer7Tadayoshi]

Keep experimenting man, you will find the next dub-step.

LOL that's true NINTENDOCORE sounding! XD Might as well to call it Artaricore. :D

But seriously that is amazing, I'd sure love to have one of those.

0:51-1:03 sounds like a kesha song.
