A while back, while walking home one night I stumbled across a beaten up and vandalised Roberts radio on top of a bin. To my luck it still worked, through prior knowledge of routing my guitar through a bunch of pedals, I hooked up the old radio through them instead. Due to the prior mishandlings of the radio, the sound quality is harshly affected, however, I found trawling the megahertz to be a therapeutic experience.
In order to keep the clarity of the radio’s dry output, I used a minimal selection of pedals to modulate the signal. I found the best sounding results using this setup:
The whammy DT modulates pitch and harmonies, the Space Echo creates delay feedback and the freeze latches onto the signal and drones the sonic content. This is a clip from an improvisation session:
