I'm thinking about picking up a copy.

They also have a book on circuit bending.

Mabye i should get the book on circuit bending first...not so sure?

Circuit bending is fascinating.

It usually results in completely unmusical sounds, but it's cool nonetheless and the noise is sort of the point.

Both books seem good, and if you have the time to put into it, I say go for it.

I think circuit bending is pretty awesome. Especially when it's like a children's electronic drum toy that's modded to sound all bitcrushed.

 

I've been GASing for a super cheap Boss DS-1 to hack up. I wouldn't really want to try to make it sound good, I'd just wanna make it sound like some crazy fuzz pedal or somethin.

There is some great circuit bending on Buckethead's Kaleidoscalp album....its produced by John Zorn...wacky stuff.
