EHX Tube EQ Self Oscillation

YouTube via Analogger
"I was really inspired the other day after watching some videos on the Electro-Harmonix "Effectology" channel. When I saw that the Tube EQ would self-oscillate I headed to Ebay. I may have used it to "eq" something for maybe 30-40 seconds and then it was on to noise making. The EQ went into an EHX Memory Boy and then into the Hardwire TL-2 Metal Distortion pedal. The secret to the rhythmic modulation was patching a four note control voltage sequence from the Doepfer clock sequencer into the expression pedal input of the Tube EQ. The settings I created were not for a guitar per se but about halfway thru I plugged my Strat into the EQ pedal to see how it would sound - kind of gnarly but what the hell.

Electro-Harmonix Effectology Vol.11 Crystal-Shimmer Effects

" Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.11 Crystal-Shimmer Effects
By Bill Ruppert
Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we create a remarkable
collection of impossible sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals!
No keyboards, samplers or midi pickups were used.

In this episode Bill Ruppert demonstrates how to produce beautiful Crystal-Shimmer effects
as well as a new sound called "Symphonic".
To create the first two clips seen in the video I wired the effect pedals in parallel.
Placing the effects in a parallel chain opens up new and beautiful sounds not possible when using a standard series connection.
The third example "Symphonic" places the effects back in a series connection.
A volume pedal is used to swell the chords in and remove the attack of the guitar giving the guitar a string section type sound.
Its a beautiful sound from just one guitar!
The clip is a improvisation on the song "Adagio for Strings"by Samuel Barber.
This music has been used in many great movies you may have seen.

http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/1208/

In this clip, I personally liked how he used a looper to create a short repeating texture that he then manually undulates with a ring modulator. It's also neat how he intentionally captured interference from an AM radio."
