He slowed it down to 1/2 speed and mixed it with drum-n-bass, and it was meant to be. Pitch shifted whale mating calls and breakbe...

Re: John Bonham hour

There's a cool gated reverb effect on some (all?) of these tracks. sounds like a distant mic that's keyed off the kick and snare. does anybody have more info on what's going on here?

Re: Tapco 4400 reverb?

I got a tapco 4400 on ebay for about $100. when it arrived, the reverb tone was very dull. I opened it up and found that there was some foam material glued inside the reverb tanks originally, and it had decomposed and turned into sticky crap that was all over the springs. I cleaned it off with some ...

I started keeping a bottle of cyanide on my desk as a message to myself. One night I packed up my shit and left to pursue creative musical things. I haven't ...
