Hi all you FireBottle lovers!
FireBottle... who came up with that name?
A long time ago I built a Sustainor Preamp.
Like I said so many times: this preamp rocks!
I tried new tubes in it, and they were doing a "new tube" thing.
They gave a sag that was *not* subtle!
The harder I hit the strings, the slower the sound came up.
It was fantastic!
After a while the effect was gone though.
As far as I have seen, the SUS kit works time based, there are a few resistors that set the time.
Can it do this kind of sag?
I have an EHX "Attack Decay", that one works by peaks.
When it detects a peak the preset attack and decay times are applied, so that is only based on preset times.
Fun Fact:
This thing can do something I have not seen anywhere else.
If you apply "poly mode" each note that you play gets its own attack and decay, even if you play multiple notes and let them ring!
I have no idea how they did this.
You would have to sample each note seperately as they are played and then play back a sample with the correct envelope.
But how can you extract the different notes?
Nice riddle to think about, but no solution available!
