    Nice vid. ! ... The DR-55 should NOT be powered by a 9v PP3 though !! ... It will eventually FRY chips !!! ... It should use 4xAA batteries giving 6v ... The PP3 battery clip, is for attaching a plastic 4xAA battery holder, which is often missing ... Most DEAD Boss DR-55s out there, were killed by over-voltage 9v PP3 batteries wrongly connected ... xXx

      Thanks very much for the tip! I appreciate it.

      I got one that somebody hardwired a 9v adapter to it so it has a steady hum to it. Not a good idea

      Thanks a lot man! It's such a nice wee box. I clearly had to defile it. The kick drum is out of control now mind haha.

    I can’t say I’m happy you did this to my favourite little drum machine but I can say I’m happy with the sounds

    😂awesome vid man! I own this too and was considering selling it since it is so limiting. Nice to see someone circuit bend it.

    My first piece of digital kit was a BOSS Dr-5 (not this DR-55). It was made for guitarists with a fretboard UI on the LCD. This looks like a whole different beast! So crazy.

    • @StephenMcLeod

      I've actually seen one of those DR-5s a long time ago! Do you still have it?!

      @@StephenMcLeod no, I sold it around 2005, but I saw a used one at a local shop recently for $95. I almost bought it just for nostalgia, but after seeing what’s out there now, it’s just not a piece worth owning IMO. The drum samples and usability were pretty awful.

    I wouldn’t think that one should mod such a classic sounding little machine regardless

    Made me nervous when I first saw the video topic... knowing you have something like 10 Gameboys that are crying for help! This turned out awesome. Now you've got a very 'you' drum machine that pairs perfectly with the modular. That outro jam was beefy! 🤯

    • @Two-Eyed_Boy
      @Two-Eyed_Boy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you listen to the band Daughters by chance? They went from grindcore, to weird post-punk, to even weirder post-punk. The jam reminds me of their latest!

    • @StephenMcLeod
      @StephenMcLeod  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pahahaha how dare you. Nah, that's a fair concern. I have come a long way since my days of butchering Game Boys. Many DMGs had to suffer mutilation in order for me to get to this point.

      I suspect you probably can! I'm not sure what kind of pulse comes from this though... there are some good articles on it kicking about though.
