Testing motorized pots

Postby sikter » 24 Nov 2013, 05:08

Video was filmed on iphone so it wouldn't do any tone justice. You can still hear (I hope) a tone variety from clean in LDR to dirty and more dirty in HDR.
This is just about potentiometer control. I'll try to shoot it with two cameras next time to show pots moving on my command.
I chose to play something totally out of ordinary to bring your focus from comparing it to known and famous tones.

I'm still experimenting with various programs so any tips from you will be highly appreciated.

Interesting. Being able to control you tone knob with a motorized pot would be useful for some, I assume you will use a pedal to do this?
Gibson R8 - Gibson Explorer - Gibson R7 Goldtop
Marshall 2466 - Marshall JMD1 - Marshall 1987
No one wants to hear 64 bars full of 32nd-notes except the douche-bag blowing them from the stage.

It's possible to use pedal for this but I'm trying to be 100% mobile on stage.
I use switches and micro controller. Each switch runs its program like turn ing Master Volume 30 degrees , turning it back to initial position etc.
One switch runs delay on/off. Joystick on my guitar is actually 4-way switch which can run 8 different programs.
You take closer look at this vid:

That is pretty cool.
One of the reason I never used the VM live is that I need two channels.
This certainly would be a workable solution.

I love both dynamical ranges and switching from LDR to HDR and back improves dynamics to whatever song I play.
I'm going to add the third motor and attach it to Body-pot.
It will turn my one channel amp to multichannel amp without any modifications on it.
Have I mentioned that servomotors are atached by double-sided tape?
