Free Jam Rishi @ a Farmhouse

This is a distortion mix of an Rishi improv session with drums (me) and sax (Rolf from Karma Vision).  Two mics, one in the bell of the sax, one on the drums, live in a farmhouse in Kansas.  Lots of post recording crunch added.

Boss DS-1 Mods

Who doesn't have an extra DS-1 laying around that they don't want to get rid of, but don't like to use?  Mod that bitch up, with some links to help.  If I ever trust my soldering skills enough, I will post my process and results.
The Instructables Tutorial- as always, great step by step if you have the skills

Erik's Corner-  a couple of new takes on the SD-1 mod, with a tube screamer emulator from a good pedal builder.
