I shall.
To be honest I haven't a clue to what I'm doing.

I have 2 circuit bent toys,the videos on are on youtube...http://www. youtube. com/user/nevets68.

Anyways, what I want to do is have both toys connected to my mixer *a old boss 8 channel* and use stomp boxes with them...
that shall be my project tonight.

Thank you :-) Glad you like the CD-R. Stan said a few had been sent to traders in England (probably England in the American sense).

I remember liking your stuff when I heard it on MySpace so I'm gonna make a point of finding some more to listen too ASAP.
