I have had nice results with a alesis HR16 and a Pro co Rat. As long as you play with the tone knob a bit, you can get some really good crunchy pretty hatte machine esc drums machine sounds

+1 for the Blue Box. Also I use a Boss DD-3 which somehow generates a note you can change the pitch of with the delay time knob.

I like to use NI Guitar Rig for this... more for electronic drums than guitars actually. lots of good quality distortion & analogish sounding effects. Not really cheap ($300 for the no-pedal software version) but versatile.

What is that like? I'm intrigued. How does the package work without that pedal?

I abuse this a little and it can be routed into the signal path much like any VST plugin. I don't think I've ever really used it with a guitar, more a sort of gallimaufry or bank of effects and amp simulators - it's great for distortion (some are truly hideous) and reverb as you might imagine but a cab simulator blended in subtly can add a certain 'bigness' that I really like.

I have to try this.

+1 for that composition's title!

SansAmps are great on drum machines.

I *so* want a Quadrafuzz kit I can build into a guitar pedal. I'd even want to switch between different color LEDs, since I hear each color has different clipping properties when used as a clipping diode.

posted this already in a different thread. But this is mine, built by a band mate, and it is a monster.

Which i only bring up as I'm: A.) Still chuffed with it and B.) Curious about other people's pedals that used LEDs as the clipping diode.
