video demo

I dont know why the starve knob does not do anything. I need to try it on a fresh battery maybe. this pedal sounds so much better with the amp overdrive half way in to the video. I need to try it with the fuzz face.

I was not as impressed as I thought I would be. the LFO's are on the right. they dont do much at all. I can hear them but they just dont have the wild depth. I dont know why the cap charges so fast but it discharges real slow.

the LFO knobs interact with the starve knob really well. It took me a while at first to figure this guy out.

I figured it out. the starve and LFO are really only useful when the unit is switched on. its also way more noticeable when the LFO's create non-periodic waveforms together. if the LFO's are at the same frequency or 2:1 the frequency it wont work as expected. my favorite use for it right now is with overdrive or distortion as a random noise source. I cant wait to try it with the EH pulsar as a panner or just a LFO>VCA in mono.

the starve knob kinda acts as a brightness control making the squares a little less square when starved.
