Alright, here we go:

Shelley
Shelley
Named her Shelley after I used a Scary Go Round sticker to patch two holes I drilled for the switches before I realized the battery case wouldn't let them fit. Absolutely proud of this thing, its a blast to "play" and it's loud as hell. This was actually a pretty simple little bend, I didn't want to get too ambitious with it, so I only added one knob and two switches; however, by some weird stroke of luck, the original volume knob becomes a fourth variable when either switch is engaged.

Sound sample:
Its only a minute long, so there wasn't any time for enough noodling to get really really crazy noises, but it's still a pretty interesting clip, I think.

Why? Partly because I've been meaning to try circuit bending again with a better soldering iron after my first attempt failed (got a slightly nicer one this time, made all the difference), and partly for my mid-term project in my BFA seminar class. I'm wondering if I'll have to warn the class next door that its not a fire alarm or anything before I demo it.
