I want self oscillation

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok i have read and searched around here and googled it even.

All i want is a pedal for oscillation. i dont care how good the delay is or anything i just want oscillation as cheap as i can get it. I dont think this has ever been asked on here before so i hope someone can help

Thanks for your time

I snagged an old Ibanez soundtank EM-5 Echo Machine for $20, popped it open & tweaked the time trimpot up & it self-oscillates like crazy. It is digital but it sounds & behaves like analog in a big way. All that to say there's a *Digital Delay* soundtank pedal on ebay for $24.00 BIN that I would snag and try except I have plenty of delays right now. You might check it out.

the delay self-oscillation thread - with clips!

seen this thread? that should get you started but a lot of pedals (other than delays) can get you oscillation, i.e. i just started doing this on my moog mf101 like 5 minutes ago

I have one, it'll do the trick...i think i paid 25.00 or so for mine shipped.
If you dont care about the battery compartment i could mod it to use an expression pedal to control the osc mayhem

that would be cool but i am thinking of doing something myself. i have a pbass kit and i am thinking of routing it out and putting it in it and then putting a optic expression on it. where on the board do you put the exp jack?

My Ibanez DE7 and my Boss DD-6 both do self-oscillation.

I've been messing with some cheap Danelectro pedals to get self oscillation. I run a reverb pedal into a chorus and get some insane sounds. I let the E string throb, and adjust the chorus pedal to get the oscillation timing I like, then I can play around the throb on the the other three strings.

I'm sure I'm not the first guy to do this, but I felt pretty clever when I stumbled upon it.

hey, care to contribute to my delay thread that was linked above? with the behringer, also your own dark and bright varieties and perhaps some tape delay unit - we don´t have these in the thread yet!

Boss BF-2 with a slight tweak of an internal pot makes awesome sounds that are a lot cleaner than most delay-based oscillators.

most time based efx can provide self oscillation... but you have to dig deep into them!!!

You know what works well for oscillation is, uh, oscillators.
