But it's fun frying my knuckles on a soldering iron. Art thru pain. This is my 3rd attempt - if I weren't building one for the hobby of it, I'd have bought one by now.

Speaking of cheap thrills, anyone have experience with guitar/midi interfaces? Are they worth anything? I'm thinkin of getting a G-vox for $30 and even if it doesn't make my guit-fiddle sound like bagpipes, I imagine I'll be able to get a different signal for each string out of the pickup and do something wicked (or holy) with that. Roland pickups cost $100!

you can find turbo rats for $50. If you value your time, you'll save a lot of money just buying one!

Yeah, guitargeek is what led me to the FX500. And I'm building a turborat from scratch. What settings do you favor?

So how can I email Christian? Never occured to me I could. Oooo...

i have an fx-500 too. pretty good stock sounds although the editing is pretty limited (or easy). a few cool symphonic patches and some cool reverse reverbs borrowed from the more expensive spx-90.

you can see christian and neil's slowdive setups here:

I dug around the archives and didn't find much... does anyone have a Yamaha FX500 with some presets to share? Or does anyone care to talk theory about effects and how to get them? I discovered by stumbling that Savil uses a stock effect (setting 40 Soft Focus) for Symph sound like on Spanish Air. I'm using this for church and looking for some real dreamy stuff for acoustic guitar.
