What do you call those handheld noise boxes Lee and Thurston have? - Page 2

acousticrock87 · 07.03.2006, 12:08 AM

Does it actually use tape, or a microchip? How would they fit 9 tape loops in there? The only blank cassettes I have are plastic-welded or some crap like that. I can't even open them. So I have no experience making loops.

i think i remember reading that they were analog but im honestly not sure, the schematics on their site certainly do not help...

m^a(t)h · 07.03.2006, 12:35 AM

they wouldnt put nine tapes in there, it would just be tape and reels, ever seen an analog echoplex guitar pedal?

acousticrock87 · 07.03.2006, 12:40 AM

Nah I'm not really familiar with that stuff. I wish I were, it would be really useful. But I found this on the ad for the one I bought on eBay.

"The Buddha Machine is a small soundbox made in China which comes with an integrated speaker, a volume control, mini jack-out and a switch to choose between nine different loops which are stored on a small chip and can be directly played by this mini soundsystem."

I thought I had read something about a chip, but all the talk of tape confused me.

So what is the term for the box? I'm having trouble finding any info on google or wiki.

acousticrock87 · 07.03.2006, 12:47 AM

m^a(t)h · 07.03.2006, 12:49 AM

yes they have, especiallly loop 9 played with 5-6 machines, and the others routed through their laptops.

jean-nicolas · 07.03.2006, 12:36 PM

I saw Lee using one at the Drift show in Brussels earlier this year.

acousticrock87 · 07.14.2006, 04:14 PM

The quality is not what I hoped for, but it picks up really well on guitar pick-ups, so it doesn't have to plug into anything to go over an amp. Definitely over-priced, but it's pretty cool. I got the hot pink one, though.

I would be wishing for the hot pink one.

acousticrock87 · 07.14.2006, 06:30 PM

Ya the color is growing on me. But now that I've been messing around with it a bit, this thing is pretty fucking rad. Adds nice ambience. Actually makes obnoxious noise effects sound much more pallatable.

finding nobody · 07.14.2006, 06:34 PM

do you have any recordings?

acousticrock87 · 07.14.2006, 06:56 PM

Nope. Nothing to record with. I should get some kind of input thing though for recording. There are some videos of them on YouTube, though.

kingcoffee · 07.15.2006, 12:04 AM

Lee uses a Mooger Fooger Ring Modulator and a Line 6 delay. Thurston uses an MXR Phase 90 phaser. Maybe that's what yr talking about?
