Circuit-Bent Oddities
Not pedals - bent, rewired, and re-purposed electronics that make sounds they were never supposed to.
Starjammer - Circuit-Bent Toy Guitar
A Toys "R" Us Dream Dazzlers guitar bent into a noise machine. Real touch-responsive strings play the riffs, buttons fire notes and built-in tunes, and the whammy bar warbles. Added bends: a voltage starve plus an echo with depth and feedback. Speaker pulled for a line out, custom pink LEDs throughout. One of a kind.

Factory Third - Circuit-Bent Kawasaki Keyboard
A late-1990s Kawasaki toy keyboard that shipped from the factory with a whine already in it. Rather than fix the defect the build hunts down the two resistors that make it worse and puts them on knobs, so the fault becomes the voice. Pitch off two photocells or a knob, a drone mode, and a wild mode that cycles the sound chip's voices about twice a second. Line out added, every stock feature kept. One of a kind.
$220
Super Sound Warps - Crystal-Swapped VTech with Echo
A 1996 VTech toy keyboard with its clock on switches. Four crystals, three toggles, and the original is still one of them - so swapping it runs the whole toy fast or slow rather than just retuning it. A CD2399 echo with depth, feedback and mix, a switched line out, and every stock voice, drum pad and rhythm still working. One of a kind.
