This is a journey into sound..

Over the summer I built a couple of guitar effects. Here are some samples of the sounds created.

Phaser
Subtle setting.
Subtle setting used for short segment of Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss".
All dials cranked to 11.

Wha-Wha
Short segment of random notes.

I now just have to find housings for them because at the moment they are just sitting around like this:

Among the Living: One is no more

We have the first points awarded in the deadpool competition. a-man has begun well. A 39 year old woman gets you 45 points.

I have put up the lists. A couple of notes on birthdates:
1. Tony Bullimore's birthdate is always given as circa 1939 so I've put it at 31/12/1939.
2. I can't find Tyler Fishlock's birthdate but he was 3 in 2006 so I'm pressuming he's born in 2003.


If you still want to join, you can.
ps. If I've made an error in birthdates, let me know.

Among the Living: Update 2

Here is another entry in the Dead Pool Competition. This one from TomC..
1) Fidel Castro: I WILL prove it. One way or another.
2) Charlton Heston. The son of God will not save him again.
3) Ariel Sharon. Possibly already dead but not certified yet.
4) Tony Bullimore. Not the sharpest tool in the shed that one.
5) Diego Maradona.
6) Hermann Maier. Austrian Ski Ace-rides his motorcycle and his skis too fast
7) Tony Curtis. Just because you would be devastated that your hero passed on.
8) Little Richard. The king of rock n roll.
9) Pavarotti. Would be a tragedy.
10) B.B. King.

The knack

Sorry if I haven't put together all the entries for the dead pool competition yet. I'm extending the deadline till the end of the week. I've been occupying myself building a stompbox. I'm trying to recreate the Ibanez PT909 phaser and I'm nearly there. I've been using parts from old computer screens, videos, etc. On hearing this, someone sent me this clip. The clip seems strangely familiar.
