sonusman Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 You have seen the imitations, and have heard the tales, but here is the REAL DEAL! Suck Knob VST http://www.phoenixlightandsound.com/SuckKnobVST.zip The author of this VST claims that ANY audio can be made to suck using this plugin! I say it is just hype, but find out for yourself! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where02190 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 A link to the download page instead of a link that automatically downloads to my computer (in this case my office not studio computer) would be much better IMHO. At least notify the potential clicker that this link will automatically download something to your computer. Hope this is helpful. NP Recording Studios Analog approach to digital recording.

Franknputer Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Cute...but the suckage could be much worse, believe me. And no GUI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Actually there is a GUI... for some reason you can see it in some apps and not others. Pretty funny though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see two things: 1 - A GUI using the avatar the author uses on his BBS, http://www.phoenixlightandsound.com/suck.gif 2 - A way to create your own "algorithms" and use them.

Blue Strat Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Ok, now I'm going to have to come up with an analog SUCK pedal. I think I'll have a switch that goes from SUCK to BLOW.

I think I'll have a switch that goes from SUCK to BLOW. heh.. what would one have in a suck pedal? Randomized delay and detuning, along with some really shitty, brittle yet flatulent sounding fuzz? And as you turn it towards the "blow" direction, it fades those things out and fades in some eq settings that emphasize all the crap frequencies and overtones, particularly those prone to producing some microphonic squeal?

We could have some real fun with this, y'know How about a circuit that cuts your signal at random, so that it sounds like you've got a short in your guitar or amp? That would suck. Or, random volume swells that go from too loud to where the signal cuts out. Or a circuit that adds 60 cycle hum, static, and mexican radio signals. This is starting to sound sorta like my first fuzz circuit! Hey, how about a transistor fuzz biased right on the edge of cut-off, with a lot of gain and an antenna w/ tuner for the Mexican radio station? BlueStrat a.k.a.

phaeton Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 There we go... have all the random stuff like the detunings and whatnot in the "SUCK" extreme. Somewhere in the middle, it chops up the low, mid and high freqs and tremelos them separately at different intensities. In here is where the volume-swells, 60hz hum and crackling are found. Then, moving towards the "BLOW" extreme it has the edge-fired fuzz circuit that picks up not only a Mexican music station, but an upper-register satellite data feed. But here's the catch- it's a stereo pedal, and it pans the stations from left to right, but each at a different rate and cam angle, based on the day of the week. Oh, and throughout it all it's got a pretty thick background of "white noise and Ken through a saturated Marshall Valvestate". For "Ken", it will play sample sounds of Afro-Ken singing the following MST3K Parody of a horrible song in a horrible movie: [music starts] With a pickled mind, We kick the nipple beer.

That's gotta be above 5kHz, which I'm pretty sure I've been told is the limit of human hearing. But it would be cool to drive all the cats in the neighborhood away. Maybe we can find a way to modulate the guitar signal by the mexican radio station's signal. BlueStrat a.k.a.

phaeton Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Human hearing is typically 20Hz-20Khz, iirc... I probably lost the top 5Khz in one show, though. I used to be able to stand at the road in front of a house at night and hear the UHF from the T.V. sets. Not any more actually, i don't remember where satellite data feeds are at. I used to have a boombox that had some insane range capabilities on the radio. I could pick up HAM radio signals, AM, FM, stuff that sounded like UHF Television rebroadcast, and of course, the whole swath of stuff that was constant beeping and tones. Come to think of it, it may or may not be satellite transmission... i just called it that at the time. I have no idea what it was, but i've always been curious. Oh, and for the record, if i stick my TubeScreamer into the FX loop of my Goblin, i can pick up radio stations. Maybe we can find a way to modulate the guitar signal by the mexican radio station's signal. The REAL goal is to be able to modulate the Mexican Radio Station with the guitar Dr. Seuss: The Original White Rapper . WWND? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
