Where did it Go?
This is a Play-It-Loud DMG-01 Gameboy, modded for use with LSDJ or any other music making apps for the original B+W gameboy.
Features:
Pro Sound Mod
Blue Backlit Screen
'Green Camo' custom Paint Job
The paint is sprayed inside a clear Gameboy, so it won't scratch or wear. Very cool.
One of my ugly guinea pigs..Has a 'half-speed / normal-speed / double-speed' switch. Half speed for an extra octave of bass, or double speed for clearer samples and crisper hats. Well thats the plan anyway. Still have to test if it makes any difference to the sample clarity...
Sounds great for 'GB ELECTRIC DRUM' Half speed kiks have more balls, and double speed flams are out of this world!!
I'll post a video on how I got it all to fit, cos it's a big arse switch!
Basically i replaced the 4.194 Mhz crystal with a 2Mhz, then the switch adds a 4Mhz in Parallel, an 8Mhz in Parallel, or center leaves the 2Mhz on its own.
Next is to try out the retuned LSDJ for 4Mhz by 10k and Little-Scale.. sweet idea dude
(4Mhz mode in next update of LSDJ anyone??)
Like a Gumball-kid in a candy store..
Pink and Blue case swap looks pretty sweet on the Gameboy Color. Sounds cool too with the Pro-Sound mod.
A bit more focused in the low-mids compared to a DMG-01, with a tighter sound overall i think. Not as much bass, but the noise channel is a bit crisper, without the bassy pops that you get with abrupt envelopes on the DMG.
The sound of this thing brings back 80's+90's Nintendo memories, where as the DMG sounds more like some ferocious wildebeest that could never truly be tamed...
..oh yeah, and its got a sharp colour screen too.
