I rate it 8.5/10Ĭooper FX Outward: I had this one briefly, it was very sensitive and had some of the best stutter sounds out there. Also the builder released an alternative firmware. Usually what i do is enter trascendence mode and push the middle toogle one way up to go into octaves quantization, set the mix then go from there. It may look intimidating at first but actually is pretty straightforward, i believe the key is to find the sweetspots and write them somewhere to not forget them as there are no preset or MIDI. Lots of people make weird-strange-glitchy ambient music with pretty average and generic gear, just by being creative with it.īUT I will readily admit, the weird, strange, and glitchy pedals do take it a step or two further, and are definitely fun and inspiring to have at one's fingertips or pedalboard, too.I had some of the big guns from granular processing and looping, here are my thoughts Thinking about it, there are TONS of conventional, not-so-weird pedals that can be made to sound weird, strange, and/or glitchy through how they're used, what's played through them, and how the signal gets routed. I also left out EHX, as they have a LOT of weird and strange pedals, and this list would be MUCH longer, lol.
Red panda raster count to 5 mod#
I left out the super multi-style delay, reverb, and mod pedals (Ventris, Big Sky, Boss 500 series, etc etc), but most of those can definitely meet the criteria. And they ALL can get weird and strange, and would lend themselves to ambient music very well, imo.
Not all can do the glitchy thing, but quite a few can. My choice right now would be Empress (Reverb + Echosystem), but I only have hands on experience with a DD-500 (extremely powerful and there's great sounds in there, but setting it up and adjusting stuff was also kinda annoying and I specifically hated that the delay time was on a notched infinite encoder instead of a pot). If it's lush ambience you want, I'm pretty sure any of the mega reverbs/delays can get you there no problem. I'm not awfully knowledgeable about these though. Then there's the Red Panda stuff, WMD Geiger Counter, the Lastgasp Art Laboritories analog reverbs and so on. Just set it to random and let the glitch happen. If you have a lot of pedals that allow expression or control voltage, you can try playing around with a CV sequencer like the EHX 8 Step Program. I love the (sadly discontinued) Condor for filter stuff. The EHX Super Pulsar is a stereo panning tremolo which does super hard choppy trem stuff and reaches audio speed (I think it goes up to 60Hz), along with being a super versatile trem pedal.Ĭatalinbread offers some fun weird delays, like the CSIDMAN and Bicycle Delay.Īlmost all of the Chase Bliss stuff can do super weird stuff due to extremely powerful controls, so if you're creative, there are almost no boundaries to those sounds. The DD-8 has a cool GLT (glitch) mode too. Other possibilities are the HOLD modes on a Boss DD-3, 5 or 6 that allow for some cool glitchy stuff, but very short, very clear digital delays with high feedback always make good glitching no matter the source. They also built Eurorack modules, so they have one foot in the synth game and it shows in their guitar pedals, which gives them a different angle from the get go. Their pedals have a pretty cool expression system too, which lets you control multiple parameters at once.
Basically their whole lineup fits your needs, but personally I'm intrigued by the Charlie Foxtrot (granular delay), Polyamorator (special kind of pitch shift delay), Scrutator (bit crusher, sample rate reducer, resonant filter) and Downer (wave folding distortion with suboctave and filter).
