This topic forced me to get out of hideout :-) Because I've developed a stutter pedal some time ago being inspired by that "little conversation". And like to show it to list. Here is the photos: http://home.planetahost.ru/~firewood/images/mixmaster_web_ns.jpg http://home.planetahost.ru/~firewood/images/mixmaster_top.jpg This cat is about a size of Zvex's pedals, and basically being a small active mixer|external send/return|A/B box - whatever you'll call it. Single knob adjusting balance between dry sound/FX loop. Two shiny buttons, latched (toggle) and momentary, mute FX loop. Depending of mode (pre/post switch), FX loop could be muted before send or after return. First mode useful to insert a short sample to delay in loop, and second mode is general purpose - could be used to blend clean and distorted sound, for example. Curious enought, this box turn out to be a very useful gadget - could be used as FX blender, DI-box, splitter, instrument switcher, stutter, volume switcher (to add some gain for solo :-) , feedbacker (send FX loop 'out' to 'in' for beautiful & weird sounds) ... and maybe a couple of other application. I mostly use it to send sound into PC for software processing and looping, and blend to dry sound. And stuttering effects, of course ! PS By the way, I'm from Moscow, Russia. Wonder if some other russian guys reading this list :-) --
