Snazzy FX Dreamboat Review

Published on Sep 10, 2014 SoloStuff

"The Dreamboat is based on a Chaos making circuit called Chua's circuit. A Chaos system could be a completely understood system where the math/physics are fully known. Yet future state prediction can be difficult due to EXTREME SENSITIVITY to initial conditions. The slightest fractional error in measurement can lead to large changes in future.

Another example of Chaos systems is the double pendulum. Every time it's released it would take a completely different path yet the system is fully understood!!. Edward Lorenz describes Chaos as:

"When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future."

The Dreamboat module is a live example of such Chaotic yet not random behavior,
