Old Blood Noise<br />
Flat Light<br />
• Generates original sounding<br />
effects from flanging.<br />
• Three modes: Detune<br />
(shimmering pitch shift),<br />
Resonate (highly resonant<br />
multiflange), <strong>and</strong> Echo (reverb-like<br />
delay).<br />
• Tilt footswitch momentarily<br />
maximizes Rate or Shift<br />
controls.<br />
Rabbit Hole FX<br />
Phaser<br />
• An 8-stage analog Phaser with a<br />
rich sound that’s uncharacteristically<br />
large.<br />
• Can deliver anything from soft<br />
character to chaotic phasing<br />
insanity.<br />
Mastro Valvola<br />
LFO Tremolo<br />
• Vintage sounding optical tremolo<br />
with a range of feature you won’t<br />
find in vintage units of the ’60s.<br />
• 16 different waveforms with Symmetry<br />
control to alter their shape.<br />
• Tap Tempo with 3 selectable<br />
divisions.<br />
• A Stereo Flanging Device with five<br />
presets, eight modes, tap tempo,<br />
tap subdivision <strong>and</strong> variable Mix<br />
control.<br />
• Modify control affects different<br />
settings depending on the selected<br />
Mode.<br />
• Right footswitch works as tap tempo<br />
<strong>and</strong> re-trigger of the LFO cycle.<br />

Empress Effects<br />
Zoia<br />
• Described as “a compact grid of musical<br />
anything.”<br />
• Modules are used to build instruments,<br />
<strong>and</strong> each block in the grid can become<br />
a varying piece of your patch like an<br />
effect or a function or an oscillator.<br />
• Patches can then be saved in presets.<br />
TWA<br />
Dynamorph<br />
• A filter + distortion pedal with<br />
an envelope-detection circuit<br />
that interacts with the player’s<br />
performance.<br />
• Features a series of obscurely<br />
named switches <strong>and</strong> knobs that<br />
open a sea of sonic possibilities.<br />
• Mode switch selects between<br />
two different overall EQ settings.<br />
The King of Gear<br />
Mini Glitch<br />
• Inspired by Jonny Greenwood’s<br />
r<strong>and</strong>om Max/MSP “stutter” effect.<br />
• It does more than that, through three<br />
“glitch triggering mechanisms”:<br />
R<strong>and</strong>om, Switched <strong>and</strong> Threshold.<br />
• The glitching sample can be set<br />
to a fixed length or r<strong>and</strong>omized,<br />
while the Dry-Path switch can remove<br />
altogether the original dry<br />
signal when glitching is active.<br />
Red P<strong>and</strong>a<br />
Tensor<br />
• Gives you live reverse <strong>and</strong> tape stop<br />
effects, pitch shifting, time stretching<br />
<strong>and</strong> hold functions you can<br />
combine in creative ways.<br />
• Slow down, speed up <strong>and</strong> rewind in<br />
real time.<br />
• Stretch or compress time with no pitch<br />
change. Loop, overdub, <strong>and</strong> r<strong>and</strong>omly<br />
slice phrases up to 4.8 seconds.<br />
