ghostCODE -> Glitch Delay

A diagnosably crazy effect made from two borderline effects.

ghostCODE on the bottom, Glitch Delay at the top.


The main concern is how to control all the parameters of two effects with half the knobs and switches. Initially I had the knobs controlling the ghostCODE settings when the toggle switch was left, and controlling the Glitch Delay when right. This gets confusing when you switch between and the controls all jump to the new knob settings.


Personally I have favourite settings for certain knobs (Smoothing in the centre, ghostCODE depth & tone at max...) so I've done away with some knobs and set their parameters to constant settings. It wouldn't be hard to reconfigure the controls to change different parameters.


A0 = Reverb size/feedback

A1 = Glitch Delay Size

A2 = Glitch Delay Density

A3 = Glitch Delay Time

Toggle = ghostCODE Division - /64, /32, /16

Footswitch = momentary infinite feedback (a la Glitch Delay)
