Very nice and (kinda) simple to understand circut bending tutorial posted by Jamie Signal:Noise on Postunder's FSOR forum:

@ Seppa, if you're interested, a few weeks ago i bumped into these books about tweaking circuits for fun. Maybe those can be of help.

http://www.amazon.com/Circuit-Bending-Build-Alien-Instruments-ExtremeTech/dp/0764588877

I flipped through them and it seems pretty simple.

Hi benders!
I recently hook up with circuit bending

I was wondering , why is BATTERY POWERED CIRCUITS ONLY?
Theoretically , after the transformer unit and the diod bridge all machines working at 220V , become working in continuos power?
I have a crappy Boss Mixer and wanna make a distortion unit,
but it's working at 220V and I don't wanna fuck whit high voltages!!!
There's a lot of not battery poweredstuff witch can be bended, what do u think?

cheers

Are you asking why people mainly circuit bend battery operated things?

If that is what you meant, my guess is that perhaps lower power devices have a similar current running through most of the circuit and different parts of it are more easily spliced together.

Things with big capacitors in probably wouldn't like being joined between high and low areas of power.

Also, dying is for chumps. That's why I only circuit bend battery operated stuff.

PsyGalaxy, what I mean is that it's a safety issue. You're not likely to get a big shock off of accidentally touching the circuit board of something that uses a 9 volt battery, but something that is PLUGGED IN to the electrical outlet could easily kill you, if you're not careful or don't know what you're doing.

That's what I meant.
