like a polaroid picture

dawid, from poland, recently reviewed our shaker box for this music gear site: http://modularne.info/?p=766

he even recorded some sound samples! check it out.  if you don’t speak polish, google translate is a wonderful invention.

thanks, dawid!

what does a mingamelon taste like?

hey everybody,

sorry it’s been a while since the last time you heard from us.  we’ve been busy and broke.  but we’re back to working on pedals (maybe a couple new ones in the works).  and we redesigned the blog layout.  i hope it’s a little easier to navigate now.  we hope to get better photos and demo videos up soon, too.

i’ve also been watching the old he-man and she-ra cartoons a little bit lately.  they’re not as good as i remember from back in the day. i wonder how well the pirates of darkwater would hold up?

awww, kitties!

the rebel scum now has updated artwork. nothing special.
there’s a picture of it on the “rebel scum” page.

gimme some (rice)milk, or else go home.

finally uploaded a demonstration video for the salacious fuzz.

look out, honey, cause i’m usin’ technology!

there are a few updates to present.

1. we’ve started dabbling in graphic design programs and printing our artwork on adhesive vinyl. the rogue leader is the first pedal to undergo a metamorphosis. the salacious fuzz has also shed its cocoon. which brings us to…

2. feisty little one is proud to present…another distortion pedal. it’s called the salacious fuzz. link in the products section.

3. we’ve finally been able to upload the new demonstration videos for the technological terror. they are now posted on the appropriate blog page.

under the paving stones, the fuzz.

Nicolas, from Ask the Dust, recently did a sample video of the rebel scum.

here it is for your viewing pleasure:

he will probably also have videos for the rogue leader and red tauntaun completed soon.

thanks again, Nicolas!

roll out the red carpet!

hey everybody,

so, we’ve got some big news.  feisty little one is going to start regularly producing the technological terror.  in fact, we have one ready now if anybody wants it.  just take a look over in the products section for more info.

a few improvements have been made to the design of the technological terror:

we’ve screen printed the “artwork” directly onto the faceplate.  the filter works much better now…as do the shift register and arpeggiator modules.  and the pulse width modulation knob in the dual input oscillator module is much more responsive.  aside from that, everything else is the same as in the sample videos.

we will try to get new videos posted soon, but our camera is not cooperating at the moment.

you want contact microphones?

we spent the last couple days making 50 contact microphones.  these lovelies will soon be on their way to belgium, where crush the button
will distribute them amongst you.

you can also get some of our stuff at geargas store.  it doesn’t look like they’ve posted everything yet but they’ve got one of everything we make (except the mindless philosopher…which we’re still working on getting to them).  they seem to also be listing the f.l.o. gadgets on ebay, so just do a search for “feisty little one” and they should come up.

on top of what when the kitchen table’s on hock?

listed the remaining prototypes and whatnot on the world’s biggest pawn shop.

i can’t drive 55!

the beach is fun.   getting a speeding ticket, however, is not fun.   nor is paying the fine.

so, we’re selling off some old prototypes and leftover gadgets we have laying about.  all are in new condition.

prototype of the rebel scum (pictured left):   SOLD

top left knob is blend control.  top right knob is pulse width control.  middle knob is volume control.  switch on the right is for the range of the pulse width modulation.  switch on the left changes from blend control to a weird feedback loop effect (lower volume in this position).  powered by 9v center negative dc adapter (not included).  no battery option.

see rebel scum page for video sample.

first ever prototype of the rebel scum (pictured left):  now on eBay

from when we were going to call it the ion pulse.  no blend control.   left knob is volume control.  right knob is pulse width modulation.  switch on the side is for the range of the pulse width modulation.   powered by 9v center negative dc adapter (not included).  no battery option.

sounds like the rebel scum with blend control turned all the way to the right, so watch the rebel scum video to get an idea of what the pedal is like.

4 channel passive mixer/splitter (pictured left):  SOLD

used as a mixer there are four 1/4″ inputs.  each with its own volume control.  one 1/4″ output on the side.  there is no master volume knob.

to use as a splitter, input is on the side.  4 jacks on the bottom are the outputs.

passive = no power needed.  it also means that there will be volume loss.  volume drops more as more channels are used.

passive notch filter (pictured left) =  now on eBay

this is based on a project in craig anderton’s book “electronic projects for musicians.”   we built it just to see what it is like.  it’s a passive notch filter using an inductor and capacitors.  it cuts out selected frequencies from an audio signal.  the knob on the right is a rotary switch that selects the frequencies to be filtered out, the knob on the left controls the depth of the filtering effect.

the rotary switch has six positions: far left position bypasses the filter circuit, other positions select capacitors of different values. the toggle switch in the middle changes the value of the inductor. so you get a total of 10 different filter frequencies.

passive = requires no power source, but there is a drop in volume.

click here for a quick sample video.

***we are also selling 5 contact mics at $13.50 US each and a shaker box w/ mute switch and low-pass filter for $40 US.  (sawtooth oscillator w/ lfo =  SOLD.)***

might have some more stuff to sell.  gotta go through some boxes to find it, though.

shipping costs depend on how much you buy and where you live.  but we’ll make it fair.
