First Bend


The other day while cleaning I rediscovered my first bend. It was a chorus pedal modded in to a $2 equalizer case from Goodwill. Looking back at the job I did, makes me sort of proud. I thought of using all the frequency sliders as resistances between various points on the pedal. I also remember building it on my friends porch all alone. He was skeptical that something like circuit bending actually produced any results. The final product was great! Different combinations of sliders created different sound effects that resemble whale sounds from StarTrek 4. I remember that this unit gave out right before a show and was never used sense. Most likely a loose connection that can be fixed in 5 min. Maybe I should look in to that.
