just lots of delay, reverb, echo etc. then get a few fuzz box's. When i got the cash i want to stereo up my guitar set up. I'm building a bit crusher pedal on payday. really is a case of experimenting with different set ups until you hit what you want. then you got to consider amps,mics and all that. real vague answer but theres so much to look at.

google pedal boards of your favourite players..

The re-20 looks pretty cool to me.

Load some samples in your sampler, pop some batteries in there, and take it to a shop that has some guitar pedals and ask if you can test out to demo the sound.

Yes the 404 is technically capable of replicating this sound style.

Very good questions :) I’ve been thinking about buying some pedals to.

But...
I don’t know what you say but if you choose to use only the SP (404 in my case) you get the best results using/learning the resample technique - when taking about making glitchy ambient stuff.

My biggest gripe with guitar pedals is they aren't more widely usable. Most are single mono input with stereo output that I've seen...this seems to be cutting off a huge list of possible uses...

Sad really...its just too cumbersome and expensive to double on on guitar pedals just to send through a stereo signal.
