I've seen some people ask about this one, and figured I'd run through a bunch of the modes. This is being played through an XP-200 that was modified to have all 4 XP models in it. This was being recorded with the following signal chain:
Bass -> Submarine -> DHA VT1 (gain set very low, just being used as a preamp since my amp is at the practice space) -> Space Station -> Mixer -> computer
You may notice that there is a piercing high-pitched noise on some of these clips. It never did that running through my amp, so I think its because I was running it after my preamp, and then direct to the mixer. I didn't feel like going through and EQ'ing it out right now, so screw it. It also has a tuner (a crappy one) and a simple volume pedal mode as a bonus.
Now the caveat. Before all of the purist poo-poo slingers swarm in, yes this is a weird pedal. If you're playing Buck Cherry-esque cock rock or Mony Mony covers, you're not going to find this useful. But for experimental/electronic/ambient pieces, this has a lot of cool sounds.
Clip 1 - "SWELL" modes - volume swell plus short delay and pitch shifting
0:00 - 0:30 - swell mode with octave shifts
0:30 - 1:00 - dry signal with delay always on, only octaves swelled in
1:00 - 1:30 - swell mode with fifth shifts
Clip 2 - "WARP" modes - Delay and whammy-style modes
0:00 - 1:00 - "time warp mode," toe-up is forward delay, toe-down is reverse delay. As you approach the middle, the signal pitches down to inaudible, then pitches back up when you cross halfway
1:00 - 1:45 - there are 4 different auto-whammy modes, the treadle controls whammy speed. The one I use begins an octave down, and then pitches up to the dry signal.
Clip 3 - "ALIEN" modes - Bit-crushing, Ring Mod and S&H
0:00 - 0:30 - called the pixelator, basically a bit-crusher/decimator, treadle controlling wet/dry mix
0:30 - 1:05 - another pixelator mode, treadle controlling frequency center of the crusher, or a carrier, I can't tell which.
1:05 - 1:35 - another pixelator mode, with the frequency center controlled by an LFO, treadle controlling rate
1:35 - 2:00 - ring mod, with the treadle controlling carrier freq
2:00 - 2:35 - "alien ring mod" - basically delay plus a ring mod with the carrier controlled by an LFO, treadle controlling rate
2:35 - 3:30 - sample & hold, treadle controlling sample rate
Clip 4 - "SONIC" modes - Resonant and Arpeggiating modes
0:00 - 0:45 - "Resonance" - sounds kinda like a frozen-flange, filter-matrix dealy, but with some reverb and something else thrown in. The treadle in the first two modes controls wet/dry mix. The only different between the two was a different resonant frequency.
0:45 - 1:40 - another Resonance mode, this time the treadle sweeps the resonant frequency
1:45 - 2:00 - Arpeggiating down an octave at a time. First played stoccato, then letting notes ring. The treadle controls volume, which I didn't bother using in these clips
2:00 - 2:20 - Arpeggiating up a major 3rd
2:25 - 4:00 - "arpeggiator dream" - not sure what the interval is exactly, it almost sounds variable as it goes up. I just screw around for the rest of the clip, playing all around the fretboard.
