Don't mention this to anyone on any other forums, but a friend of mine who is a very highly placed scientific official in Europe has told me that the real "agenda" for the collider is to develop a circuit, similar to a Distortion +, that sounds just like an all tube Raging Marshal Stack (RMS) even at low volumes (it could require 3 rather than 2 knobs). Something about feeding the signal into a nano sized black hole contained in a standard looking 8 pin chip, bouncing around with the god particle for a few micro seconds and emerging with the full RMS sound, touch, feel, swagger, etc. It would also extend life expectancy due to the time warp side affects of the black hole. As you can imagine, there are a number of technological issues to be address before the pedal could be released for $39 at ??? music store. :icon_rolleyes:
I'm glad to see this issue is finally getting the focus, prioritization and resources from the international scientific community that it deserves. :icon_cool:
So that's how Eddie did it...
wut?
I tried that in my back yard, and it works great !
It can be done with only 2 knobs, with the requirement that other external conditions must adhere to smaller variances, this limit the types of testing that can be accomplished.
The particles processed from both tiers of pre-support circuits then recieve a final routing direction into and through the [tri-controller] Boosted Wave Harmonic Creation Device [B-WhacD for short] structures which are housed in an electron shield enclosure.
We must be very careful never to swap the d for the r inside the hadron.
At $39 I'll take 2 just in case the world ends when I plug in my Les Paul
Will they call it the "Higgs Boson Box"?
I'll bet $1M the sound the god particle makes will be brown.
Just be warned that all warranty opportunities will expire in 2012 :icon_eek:
I did some hadron collision experiments in my backyard using slingshots facing each other and got some very interesting results. The two particles smashed together and released over a tetraelectronvolt of energy. I used Leydon jars to store the energy and am using the Laydon jar battery to achieve a B+ of 600 V to power an OTL amplifier capable of 1000 W per channel. That's only about 125 6L6's per channel! I will be selling these amplifiers for the low low price of $10,000,000 if anyone is interested.
540 billion volts. Geez, they're gonna need to buy some better-rated caps from Mouser.
I wonder if there are any op-amps that will work at that supply voltage for, y'know, like better tone when using a pair of LEDs.
I like the fact that when you plug it in and play the first strum you end up in the other universe, which is the reciprocal of this one, where ability and enquiry is rated over greed and self interest. Surprising thing will be though, all the people you meet there will wonder why you just didn't go out and build a tube amp :icon_rolleyes:
i already did it, with only 1 knob!:

Some headroom right there
If they find the god particle - will it have something to do with Clay Jones or Landgraff ?
Oh shit guys, I just dropped the pedal in the black hole thingy.

And you're from the future to help with the design process of the very gadget that allowed you to travel time in the first place?
Lol, Behringer already copied it!:
Behringer Hadron Superstomp A-666

Ah, Beavis made that ages ago, I think he might have used a few too many knobs though. http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/LargeHadronColliderDelay/ (http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/LargeHadronColliderDelay/)
I just checked in the shed and all of my Hadrons are gone.
That's what I get for being cheap and using a padlock instead of a quantum key encrypter.
I wonder if the God particle will turn out to be female? If so, can I use them to get the "woman" tone?
Okay, I was checking in with some physics friends, and I now know where all the CA3094s and CA3080s went to. I gather for that much voltage you need a LOT of transconductance! Dang. If they would have used LM13600s just think of all the Small Stones and Microsynths we could have made! :icon_cry:
they invested billions of dollars and sell the thing at $39???
guys, hurry up to get one because they're going out of business as fast as the speed of those hadrons inside the collider!!!
money is god particle, it makes the world... universe go round, not hadrons, fermions or photons... :icon_twisted:

well, the little monkeys from mars helped a lot!!
Oh Man! Finally some physics jokes!
Has anyone heard of annihilation/creation operators?
What about the "Smooth" Operator?
Just in case anyone missed this:

Will everyone just chill? I have it on good information that Jack White has had one of these in his rig for some time now--copper coated, natch, sitting right on top of the Silvertone Twins. (I think you all know what I am talking about, although I dare not say its true name...)
and here i was getting excited, thinking this was going to be a thread about a clone of the Supercollider pedal... :(
It actually is, just in a parallel time dimension to yours, don't worry time'll catch up.
I tried building it into a stompbox but it wouldn't work so I had to go out and dig the 14 kilometer cave under the suburb I live in. That was quite good because we have a few power stations in the vicinity so I was able to tap in and grab a few million volts. Trouble was it didn't work until I got some gold plated RCA inputs and outputs and had pure silver wire going the the FX.
Now it works fine but I'm kinda afraid to push the time travel/ boost button...
See, YOU were smart. I was finicky about hum, so I figured I'd run it off 9v batteries. I had to mortgage my house to pay for the battery clips! Shoulda used a PSA.
Anybody want to buy a few wheelbarrows full of 9v battery clips?
Mark, I'm disappointed: didn't you salvage those things off the tops of old, dead batteries?
Time to scrounge Ebay for cheap Chinese Hadrons.

Oh I did, but I only had about 183 of those, and at a certain point I simply ran out of red and black stranded wire too. So, it was one of those cases where the best of intentions wasn't enough.
And if I'm not mistaken Ton/puretube posted a link to a 1923 patent pdf of a Hadron collider about 5 years ago. Of course, because it was all tube, it was about 232 km in diameter.
.....I have a buddy that's one of the guys who keeps coming back from the future to sabotage the HSC.......well......he told me.......that biggest tonal breakthrough in pedals will be the development of
's.....so whattya think about that ?.......
DANG IT ! he keeps deleting my posts !!
This thread made my day. :icon_mrgreen:
