Drum machines are some of my favorite circuit bending targets. I love crunchy drums!
This one didn’t even make to the site, put it up on Reverb and it was gone within an hour. I am really happy with how this one came out, it ended up being more work than the last couple, pretty much dead on arrival. It was worth the extra work to bring this Alesis … Read more
