You obliterate the chord you were playing by rappidly climbing a four octave arpeggio, repeating it from the start upon completion. The effect is percussive because of the <<nobr>><<if previous() is "fuzz">>\nmangling distiortion \n<<else>>\nlayring echo \n<<endif>>\n<<endnobr>>you applied to your signal.\nYour field of vision is vibrating.\nYour heart is racing.\n\nSomething seems really off.\n\n[[Smash your guitar into the ground|smash]]\n[[Kick your Twin Reverb over backwards|kick]]
Something doesn't feel right.\n\nYou glance around the room nervously. About fifteen young adults are swaying rhythmically to your strumming. Someone is sleeping on a couch against the wall.\nWell, sleeping is a nice euphemism for their current state.\nAnother ten hipsters are talking in the back. They might be into the music, they might hate it.\nNo way to know; they attend every show regardless of genuine musical interest.\n\nYou instinctively stomp down with your right foot.\n\n[[fuzz]]\n[[delay]]

Quiet but for the ringing.\n\nIs that a sound or an auditory halucination?\n\nAn artifact of your abused and overstimulated cochlea?\n\n[[Movement|movement]]

When your foot hits the switch the chord you just fingered gets lost in itself and begins to spin rhythmically into high pitched oblivion. Your ears are ringing but you really don't want to put your headphones on.\n\nSomething is still not quite right.\n\n[[fast riff]]\n[[slow riff]]

Feeling tingly.\n\nHead aches.\n\nSomething is spinning. Is it you? Is it everything else?\n\nThe smell your preschool.\n\nLeft hand feels as though it is resting on a dandelion clock the size of a pregnant belly.\n\n[[It is quiet.|quiet]]
When your foot hits the switch the chord you just fingered blooms into a new shape. Sharp and jagged.\nWarm.\n\nEvery part of you is vibrating.\n\nSomething is still not quite right.\n\n[[fast riff]]\n[[slow riff]]
