    Attempts to tame the Jomox T-resonator. Even running into a compressor/limiter, it still clips like crazy with small tweaks of knobs. Brutal amounts of feedback. It's a cool effect, but it drives me crazy when it doesn't do what I expect it to.

      @RenzotheDestroyer The feedback on the t-res is just ridiculously over the top. It's difficult to predict what will happen when you turn a knob most of the time. As this track shows, it's capable of some doomtastic drones, and lots of weird squeeks, and everything in between, but it's not really a go-to device for a certain sound, it's more of an abstract "I wonder what will happen if.." kind of inspirational tool. At least for me. The smallest turn of a knob can make a drastic change in sound too.

      I took it out to a gig once, and will probably never do so again. It just overwhelmed the sound system with crushing sub-bass. For an improv thing, it takes a lot of practise to tame it and know where its sweet spots are. Also, going through a compressor/limiter is pretty much a must-do. Without it, it just clips and screams.

      I've probably made it sound awful, but it's a really fun filter that sounds like nothing else (though the sherman kinda comes close in some ways I guess), and not something I'll be letting go of in a hurry.

      I was considering the T-Resonator as a possible next purchase, but it seems pretty abstract in functionality/implementation. From what I hear, it takes quite a bit of messing with before it becomes desirable for improvisational stuff. Do you find it to be more troublesome than useful or is it worthwhile for experimenting purposes?

      Some *great* noises in here. Nice work.
