Very very very very very well done animation featuring characters who are part synthesizer. Looks like it was done by a Brazilian team which is interesting since my wife and I know several excellent Brazilian artists in the VFX industry. Check it out … awesome sound design as well.

Line6 Echo Park delay pedal in a custom enclosure. The pedal has been modified to include “true bypass” and a carling tap tempo footswitch. The power supply was also modified to accept either 9VAC or 9VDC …and it also has BIG KNOBS!

I’ve been using it this way for a few years with no labeling (I finally memorized the controls after a while) and no switch for the analog and tape emulation modes. It has been permanently set to “digital” for a long time.

The picture below shows an added toggle for delay mode select (analog/digital/tape). Finished this yesterday.

After I added the toggle, I decided to finish the job and label everything. Done!

Strymon, a new music electronics start-up has just released the SVpre, a tube preamp modification for the Line6 Spider Valve series of amps. According to Strymon, the SVpre improves dynamics and tone and makes your Spider Valve sound more like a “real” tube amp.

The product seems to be getting quite a bit of attention over on the Line6 forums.
