I just got my kit from BYOC for a digital delay and it has an option for self oscillate or no self and i dont know what that means exactly. Could someone please clarify that for me?

With a guitar and amp turned up loud, the energy from the speaker can excite the strings and pickup until it howls. You can lean the guitar against the speaker and walk away and it will keep howling until somebody pulls the plug.

If I turn it all the way up it will create a high pitched squealing sound. That sound is created by the pedal alone, meaning I don't have to play the guitar at all for it to do that. Playing he guitar will cut those frequencies and bring it up and down, though you really can barely hear the actual notes the guitar is playing and you have little control over what frequency s going to come out. Imagine that sound you hear in old movies where someone is trying to tune into a radio station or tune into a CB radio.moogerfoogers rock dont they? i got mine on christmas and am still finding new tricks
Getting it to work nicely in a song is very difficult. When you actually do et it to work you know the gods are smiling and you're having a badass set.
