Hey folks,

this is my first 'no input' patch, and what that means is it is intended not to be used with a guitar, the unit itself produces all the signal.

Furthermore, as a warning, UNPLUG YOUR LEAD BEFORE USING THIS PATCH, AND WHILST USING THIS PATCH! The settings are rather extreme and I don't want you to blow up your speakers!

Most of the fun can be had by waving your hand *horizontally* over the D-Beam, which turns on the COSM GUITAR A, which sends a little signal into the FX chain. Whilst the guitar is turned on, you can create signal by putting your finger in the GK in socket, tapping random buttons, and tapping the unit itself!!

Here is a list of the most usable buttons:

DBeam H - COSMGTR A on/off
DBeam V - Delay time 88ms - 1800ms
CTL 1 - turns off the noise gate for the time you are pressing it.
CTL 2 - Momentarily turns on a high pitch shifter with a wave pedal on it.
Ribbon Assign - changes the MOD Rate of the ever present delay signal.
POLY FX - Tap it twice to turn on the Poly Compressor which will make the noise behave differently, particularly when you turn the noise gate off(CTL1)
A/B switch - fade in Channel B, which is similarly noisy, and has a slicer in it's chain, which is having its 'Pattern' parameter manipulated by the Wave pedal. This chops up the sound in a different way each time. The other aforementioned buttons also work in a similar way in Channel B.
CTL3 - Momentarily turns on the 'Normal Pickup' setting from 0 to 3, which adds a different sort of noise texture to the mix.
F1 - Comp A sw - turns off compressor, making the sound softer.
F2 - Delay A sw
F3 - Delay MOD - this effects the sound heavily, don't forget you can use this, particularly in conjunction with the ribbon assign(MOD rate)
F4 - Comp B sw - turns off compressor in Channel B
Ribbon Filter - HP filter, it does what it normally does, it's very effective in this patch.

Remember, take your lead out of the unit before using. This patch is enjoyed best with two hands on the VG-99, so get cosy with it!

Let me know what you think!
