So there’s a million ways to stack drives. That’s not what I’m talking about here. I’m thinking more like what people do with analog synthesizers or audio engineering. Ever since I built the splitter and mixer, I’ve been trying out different ideas. Some examples:
Splitting the signal to a slow gear going into a big reverb, for a dramatic pre-delay swell.
Use ducking in front of a phaser so what when you play soft, it’s all swirly, but when you dig in, the phaser is pushed down.
Use a gate set fairly high going into a delay that is almost self-oscillating. When you hit the big loud double-stop, you get some wild echoes.
Use an envelope follower early in the chain, and use its output on something like the expression input of a PDF-2 or rainbow machine.
