pork pig hahahah, how'd you come up with that?...

Also, circumlocution sounds so much better than "the porky pig method" (which is what I call it in my head)...

I can't remember really. But I remember I had to tweak it until I found something that worked. I believe it depends on the person. Worked pretty well after tweaking delay and pitch....
