I am mad, I swear

hehe, okay..so I know i've been bubbeling with selfpromisses about not building too much, etc..Butttt...those of you who really know me will know, taht that's never gonna actually happen.
SO I came up with a plan last night..or the night before, I can't remember.
Either way, it's gonna be fun hehe.

Ingredience;
Stainless steel spring (can make at work)
Stainless brackets to mount the spring (can make at work)
some wood
Two speakers (one driven)
and some tooth picks.

Mount the spring with as much tension as desired in between the brackets (about 35 - 40 cm apart).
Mount th speakers at either end of the spring mounts.
hot glue, or attach some how, the tooth picks to the cones of both speakers.
These are to go through small holes in the spring mounts.
attach the other end of the tooth picks to the spring itself (there should be NO tension on the cone at any sage during this process).
Modify the speaker outs and ins to hook up with your pedals.

When you play it will vibrate the cones in the driven speaker, which will vibrate down the spring, until it hits the opposite speaker.
Because a speaker is just a microphone, it will (by moving the cone of the passive speaker) create current inside the speaker (no unlike that created inside a guitar pick up) and send a signal out.
This is how to create a true spring reverb.

The diagram below is my version.
I haven't started construction of it yet, but after much thought, I predict that instead of this being a pure spring reverb, it will probably produce more of a slow attack delay verb sound, due to the positioning of the speakers (and the direction of the vibrations).



Feel free to copy this, and tell me how it goes (once again you can email on the sitemail address in red at the top right).

Enjoy

Z change

hehe, sooo turns out that the awes'ometer, as awesoem as it is, is gonna be a little impractical.
Oh yeah, and as it turns out, the Kaoss pad is gonna be on a stand that will come off of the board, SO new plan

Three loops

Distortion
Modulation
Crazy (looping)
To the Pad's gonna in that loop, in the stand.

so here's the new plan hehe



oh and I'm totally building my own wah by the way haha.
I'll let you know how that went when it's finished

LOVE

Jonny.

Z Plan

okay so I know that i'm always buying and making stuff for my guitar, and yeah, it gets kinda pricey. So I've got a plan.
There is one, and only one thing I will build this year (ha.....lol...etc).
That is the following, I call it, the "Bi-loop awes'ometer board"

It will take about $45 to make the actual board, but to fill it totally haha...you're looking at about $770 before I can complete it.
but that's another story hehe.

The Awes'ometer I'm going to install is a WWII Amp Meter, made is 1943...so...not much gets more hard core than that! hehe.
Love it.
it's kinda a tribute to my Grandad, who owned the meter (along with a bunch of other ones that were left over from when he was working in the radio towers in Chch international airport). I'm sure he would have liked the quirkiness of the whole idea.

Any way, here's the board plan;
Red = Loops
Green = Inputs and Outs
Blue = Powering
(all cables will be inside the board, to add to the sexiness of the whole operation)
it'll be made of wood and fiberglass (building boats comes with it's perks, in this case the ability to fiberglass and the means to do it).



So once it's finished it'll go like this;

Awes'ometer (clean boost)
Tuner
RAT
FuzzFeed (home made distortion/fuzz)
Phase
WAH
Delay
Looper
MiniKP (korg Kaos Pad Mini)
Volume Pedal

personally, I'm pretty happy with it, and I just can't wait to get the whole thing up and runing.
But that'll probably be in like 10months, becasue I don't have much money right now.

Any who, *HUG*

Jonny.
