    Now I’ll spend a couple of sleepless nights just creating a feedback loop of ALL MY PEDALS and maybe do like a grand finale with that, heheh! Should I? I think I should. Cause pedals and mixers are my new main synthesizers, hehe

    Get glitchy circuit bent synth sounds from your pedal board. Remember to keep the volume low and try this setup at your own risk. This is not how your pedals were meant to be used, but it’s a whole lot of fun!
