"Amped" by Lowwoods
I thought the bass setting was too gnarly but my roommate creamed over it so I kept it for the demo. The bass is a direct line because I don't have a suitable bass amplifier. However the guitars were amped and mic'd and sound mean as all hell.

"Punch Out" by Lowwoods
What happens when the VF meets a trumpet, reed organ or a musette? The answer: different things!
When multi-tracking, I'm learning that the combinations of the control and/or volume create an gnarly webbing. It sounds like SAW oscillation to me so when combining the tracks (with decent panning skills) a web occurs. I wish this pedal could coexist with juices cause boy would I. Devi, you rock my world real real bad!

"Thunderbird" by Lowwoods
I whipped this little puppy up to show how versatile and fun the VF is (I think that's what the VF really stands for) . Until I experimented I wouldnt think that seven VF'd tracks could yield palatable results. The guitars differ in pick up settings/VF/pan settings.
VF IS THE ONLY EFFECT USED - STRAIGHT INTO AN MBOX!
NO : COMPRESSORS, EQ, DIRECTBOXES, FENDER 59 BASS AMPLIFERS, EDITS, NOTHING!!!

"Gymnasium" by Lowwoods
Gymnasium only consists of VF ONLY flavored items (drums are only the exclusion). I went ahead and pulled out some vinyl and the VF schooled it.
