Drambo Pedal Building/Sharing on IOS!

Parthand

Hi. I was thinking about a few out there guitar pedals and it gave me the idea of starting a thread for people to share or challenge or request others to build pedals capable of certain things.

It would be great to hear your creations, for those who are good with BYOD or Drambo etc or just stacking effects.

And also what pedals people would like replicated and if others are able to do that.

I’d like to start off by suggesting these three pedals:

• Electro Harmonix Ravish Sitar.

• Earthquaker Rainbow Machine. The havoc button in particular, id love to be able to replicate that. The rest of the pedal seems easy.

• TC Electronic flashback 2 (the mash button - i was thinking i could use a pedal converted to midi to control the delay time in a delay effect)

Anyone good with Drambo etc able to come up with any patches? It would be great for sharing and learning how to do this stuff

i’ll put this up as a bit of a challenge if anyone wants to get involved in trying to recreate the pedals featured here:

You have no shortage of ways to process external audio with drambo, that’s for sure. You could totally build those sorts of pedals, if not exactly, at the very least satisfying.
As for recreating those specific pedals, it will/would take someone passionate enough about it. And specs or at least a manual and/or the actual pedal (send one my way and I’ll work my best)
Don’t get me wrong, that’s a very cool project, why don’t you give it a try and ask for help if you need?

Hi! Yeah, thanks I’ll have a look for a manual but perhaps it would help if I link a video of the rainbow machine havoc buttons as it might be evident to someone what’s happening. That was probably what initially made me post as I can hear it’s pitching up but I’m unsure of how exactly they’ve made it do what it does. And thought people may enjoy sharing or just discussing how best to build pedals or even have a place to request things others may have like that mosaic thread

I would love to give it a try, myself. I could probably learn from others and thought that someone might already have done something similar

This has:

• polyphonic harmoniser
• Arpeggiated delay
• Aliasing noise gen
• Gypsy happy-curses

You could totally build similar fx on drambo. You have pitch detection, env follower, all sorts of filters delays phasers reverbs, you name it. But like I said it takes passion.

There was a thread with a very similar title a while back. Lemme see if I can pull it up.

Edit: Found it!

Wow.. I think I’ve learned a lot in the last 2-3 years.

Thank you! Maybe I should revive. That was a good read

I really wouldn’t know where to start but it would be a really cool project. I remember when I first recorded a song I picked the most difficult one I have structurally, from then on everything was much easier, and I learnt guitar on a battered sixties quarter size classical with a half inch action. So building a rainbow machine in Drambo might be a good start

You could start by recording a guitar riff, loading it in drambo (maybe a looping flexi) then start adding fx afterwards. Send me a recording and I’ll set it looping for you if you need.
Starting up with drambo is easier than most people think

Break down the pedal into functional blocks, a bit like any other mechanistic planning, and then put together the most simple way of achieving those things in the same order, with the same flow… maybe start simple, even break down a pedal into several functions, then just build each component (say the polyphonic harmoniser, or arpeggiated delay) and then later try to tackle trying them all together…
