I recently told a friend of mine that I was playing around with oscillator pedals for my Solah project, and he told me that his father was an electrical engineer and may have something for me. This weekend, he cleaned out his garage and found this lil' guy for me--
What is it you ask? It's a beast of an industrial oscillator, capable of creating sustained analogue sinewave test tones ranging from 50Hz to 15kHz. The knob at bottom center acts as a basic pitch control to let you warp the straight tone on the fly a bit. Best of all, it has a standard 1/4" output on the side.
I hooked it up to my Effector 13 Synth Mangler and Elecro Harmonix Octave Multiplexer and got some cool sounds out of it--

The first few seconds is the oscillator only, switching through the different frequencies. The rest is me turning on the FX and messing around with the dials. Next time I'm going to throw some delay into the mix.
I see myself using this quite a bit for the Solah LP; lots o' fun...
