Funny "MOJO" stuff

[Nasse]

Not much fresh ideas in my head lately, but been thinkin cool combinations of old ideas in new concept.

Those mini dip switches on SansAmp pedals do look cool and makes your head tick about all possibilities and variations in one small box costing not so much...

There was that interesting discussion about carbon resistors and I thought why not put both new low noise and old vintage tone resistors on board and just choose which one you want with a dip switch. Or maybe three or four selectable resistors (carbon composite, carbon film, metal film, is there other dunno), and you can name those myriad pre settings with cool names closely resembling old vintage treasures like EHX and MXR  or famous players and so on. Or you can select the vintage decade (60´s, 70´s, 80´s etc etc) with a flick of a switch.

But too much is too much, duplicating or triple amount or quadrupling every resistor and calculating how many switches you need (don´t have the circuit ready yet)... I think we need some  thinkin and knowledge to decide which resistors are the most important ones, but I´m sure it is easy to make a SansAmp look shy with so few switches on it. Just add tweed covering and aged chicken head knobs and you get the picture.

This would be particularly interesting if you didn't label the switch. Of course you'd get a lot of returns from people saying the switch doesn't work

Do you believe I could fix this by laying out slightly different resistor values?, so there is slight volume or tone difference and customers are happier, at the cost of easy use of course. And I could write the owners manual so that the customers can not request their money back. How about a cool slogan like "We always think the absolute truth and authentic sonic fidelity, even then when you can not hear it".

BTW I got good tips when doing some repair job at my civil work. Someone said that when repairing gear without wiring schem you should connect wires of same colour together, and the left overs are tied together under same screw.

That is awesome.

MOOOO  :lol:

first the key-"click" was cool,
now they emulate the crappy LEAKAGE:
(= bleedthrough/crosstalk)

time to create the: Crapulator

I have an amp simulator 'built' into my virtual studio.  A few of the settings are really good.  I've done A/B testing with samples recorded with a condenser mike and it's hard to tell the difference.  However, they've incorporated 'amp hum' as part of the emulation.  It's really intrusive and the worse is you can't turn the fcuker off! 

I think they just do this stuff to show it can be done!!

and:

"Hetero-Whine" (for tZf-plugins)

Sorry, I've already designed and built the Crapulator. Over and over and over again.

Right then! Ooh bloody killed the bleedin' ICONS!!

or just put a switch on there, don't wire it to anything, and label it "talent" and see if folks can hear the difference.
