Modded mm4

Some interesting circuit bending pedal from a mm4 and a old joystick. Seem like a lots of fun for noise and weird sound.

Square red switch: The square red switch in the center of the device triggers some very loud feedback/distortions paired with white noise. It's very random as to what you get, although it's consistent in that it's loud distortion with white noise and oscillations. It sounds amazing alone or with an input. Each push of the switch triggers a different sound, sometimes just white noise, and sometimes perfect oscillodistortion.
Round black switch: The round black switch on the left of the unit "resets" the device. So, if you're using the oscillations and you want to quick turn the thing off back to normal, just hit this switch and it will go right back to stock mode.

Left knob: The left knob creates an internal feedback loop, which on certain settings such as the chorus and flanger ones will create some crazy siren noises as well as pitch-oscillating low frequencies. When the knob is turned all the way to the right, there is no feedback and the device works as stock, but as the knob is turned left the feedbacks come in. When paired with one of the oscillating modes, this thing sounds really cool.

Right knob and Right round red switch: The switch triggers a volume drop, and the knob controls the volume from there. This is important because many of the oscillating/distortion/feedback sounds can get quite loud, so here you have an onboard contorl rather than having to use your amp. The switch allows you to completely bypass the volume drop, so that you can go through the pedal with pristine true-bypass quality if you so choose.

Expression Joystick: This joystick functions exactly like an expression pedal, except that you control the parameters with a joystick and not with your foot. When the button is not pressed and the joystick is in the middle, it is the equivalent of having the expression pedal in "toe" position, whereas pushing the button down brings the pedal to "heel" position. The joystick's directions are intermediary positions. Pushing the button quickly when controlling the frequency on the ring modulator can lead to some VERY cool sounds. It adds a whole new level to control. You can even add a standard extension chord and mount it on your guitar, keyboard, etc.
