Modded and painted on commission for one Mr. Byrd. Dubbed "The Unicorn," Byrd plans to have it prance into future bands Battery Powered Hooker Boots as well as Daisy Chains. "And you should call it deliciously evil in its description."

Mod list:
- 1/4” output with dedicated volume knob
- Internal speaker on/off
- Odd Noise Generators x2
- LFO with on/off, rate, shape (sq - tr), depth, assignable to pitch and crunchy distortion
- Variable lead distortion
- Lead distortion optic theremin with on/off
- Coarse pitch knob with on/off button - reacts to human proximity
- High pass/wah wah/squeaky mod
- Two body contacts for heavy squealing distortion (and picking up radio transmissions apparently)
- "Crazy child" switch, triggers random notes within a certain scale. God I love this ridiculous one.
- Rhythm mod - Bass Drum solo/misc
- Rhythm mod - LOUD distortion
- Rhythm mod - Chord distortion
- Rhythm mods - 4x Various distortions

Individual mods are shown in the first ~11 minutes. From 11:40 onward I'm just fooling around with it, as I was still sort of wrapping my head around some aspects of this thing while making this video.

Biggest bending venture in awhile. This thing has some real quirks to work around, but there's a lot that can be done. One thing I wish I'd filmed were the body contacts used with another person. Put your finger on one, get somebody else to put their finger on the other, then skin contact acts as a variable resistor. So... a high five = SCREEECH.

All questions and comments always welcome. Email is [email protected] or leave a comment!
