Thi sis a picture from one part of my kitchen, you can even see the left upper corner of my joker collection, still very small then
The pictures are of friends and family, my own negative hand impression is also there from when I was a child (aprx. 5 years?) the other pictures are mostly just there because I thought they were pleasing for my eyes, so even political leaders from groups I didn´t like was there, just because I liked icon images of them, I did avoid Nazi images since, they actually could upset people...
...and yes I have a thing for skulls, ever since I was tiny, in school I usually drew grim-reapers in impressionistic orange yellow style, if some one still has one of those early Danny-artworks, It would be really cool if you could send me a scan of one... I do especially remembered giving one to my Teacher Gert... He said, in case you become a famous artist :)
...anyhow skulls, they have always attracted my mind, perhaps since it is used as such an iconic image. poison, Pirates, rebels, death...
I was always very aware of death, since my Maternal Gp´s Where Jehovas witnesses I often had to listen to sections of their bible and their scriptures Awake and Watchtower...
I especially liked the book of revelation all those surreal psychedelic images of monster and beasts really got my fantasy going... I also had an uncle that died as a kid in our family (before I was born) so death was somehow ever present, he had a really rare genetic syndrome or illness, I might be a carrier of the gene, since it is only lethal if you have a double and since I am alive I either have one or non...
Still I am 46 and haven´t spawned any broods of children yet, I never really wanted to, perhaps something to do with my childhood? but I do like children, some children, they are often very fun to talk to since their brains often haven´t been cemented in a concrete mold yet....
Peace and Noise!

P.S. (can you find my mug? yes a photo of me and my mum is there, the hand in white i obviously mine since I said it before but my mug is there too...)
updated view of my stompboxes addiction.. collection, i meant COLLECTION!!
(first step is to admit it, I know...)
A couple of beauty shots. I've been looking for one of these for years. Both Andy Summers and David Gilmour toured using the early model of these with the Reticon chip, so rabid fans have probably gobbled up most of them.
The thing about the Reticon SAD1024 chips is the clock rate. The MN3007 chip used in the CE-2 has a "maximum" clock rate of half what the Reticon has. So the Reticon has a delay half as long in its native state because it's dumping out those buckets twice as fast. So it does that very short, subtle flange thing perfectly and with amazing fidelity.
Now, I've built several Electric Mistress clones using the MN3007 and what those boards do is buffer the clock input so you can double the clock rate. Except the MN3007 doesn't like that very much and they're very hard to bias properly. You can feed them more power to make up for it, but then they heat up. Because the MN3007 can theoretically handle as much as 15 volts (12 is as high as I'd go), but that's assuming you aren't overclocking it like crazy. And doubling the clock speed isn't a mild case of overclocking.
So I've wanted one of these white elephants for ages. Very happy to finally have one. Because it sounds just like a vintage Electric Mistress, but there's no volume drop or clock noise.
Obviously, the current-production Electric Mistress pedals are digital, but this is a clone of the old analog circuit that I built using the Madbean board. I used a vintage MN3007 bucket brigade chip to bring this circuit to life.
It's DC-powered only. It takes a standard Boss-style 9-volt power supply. No battery-powering option available.
True Bypass switching in a 1.5 pound steel enclosure that I powder coated for durability. Hopefully it will give you many years of reliable service.
The Music of Sound: My simplified setup for the Le Black Noise show at MUTEK 2005 (shown without the wires from Olivier going to the first 2 inputs). A sortof no-input setup, exploring the sounds of the machines feeding themselves. I take the covers off the Boss pedals because then it's easier to punch 'em in & out with one's hands.

I once posted a picture of mine (with white print and "New Sensor Corp."), but @rafmax_fx recently bought this one... We should bring them together one day ;-) Repost @rafmax_fx : Electro Harmonix / Sovtek Electric Mistress Flanger @ehx #pedalporn #vintagepedals #electricmistress #flanger #collector #prototype #notforproduction #90's #mikematthews, via Instagram: bit.ly/2bYGt06
