looking for a simple project to react with TSA

No, not the airport TSA... Total Sonic Annihilation!

I would like a new project for my bass.  I've built a few noisemakers like the Random Number Generator and Uglyface but I'm looking for something that's going to go absolutely nuts with my TSA.  Bleeps and bloops, whooshes, the whole 9 yards.  The loop right now is small:  Fuzz > Uglyface > Crybaby > PT80 delay.  I would like something simple because I have a small board, low budget, and not much time to build!  lol.

Hi
I built one ehx "muff fuzz" and two "no joke fuzz" circuits (really simple designs) into one box with a overall feedback loop (same as a TSA) the results were insanely awesome and insanely loud! Sounded like I had worms crawling around in my sound. For such a design I would recommend some extra pulldown resistors for limiting purposes as I blew one of the "no joke fuzz" circuits on a specially extreme setting (everything to eleven!!!! :D ).
Vibrato(FM)/chorus pedals are also fun to run through the TSA (just be careful with the level!)

I'm sorry sir, we only have the regular ohms.

that project looks like a lot of fun. I must admit Im a little scared of burning pedals with the TSA. Would a feedback-loop with a small time delay (like 5ms) be less able to destroy sensitive pedals?
