Warp Sound

The Warp Sound is my modern and improved interpretation of the incredibly rare 1970s Vorg/Pearl Warp Sound. It's a unique filter + distortion circuit that blends a rough, unpredictable, fuzz-like distortion with a wide sweeping, resonant peak filter. The filter defines the core voice of the pedal while the distortion pushes it into an increasingly unstable saturation. Together, they create a dense, noisy, shoegaze style wall of sound, capable of shifting into harsher, more experimental textures as the filter is increased. It also stacks really nicely with other dirt pedals and modulation.

This pedal is a faithful recreation of the original circuit with a few practical changes and additions:

• True bypass switching

• External distortion control (originally an internal trimmer)

• "Max" switch that provides more gain than the original. Note: the "DIST" control is bypassed when mode is engaged.

• Expression control of the filter (original pot value: 10k) I've tested a few expression pedals and have found that the Roland EV-5 works particulary well.

Each pedal is built one at a time by hand, using custom PCBs designed by myself. The enclosure drilling, artwork and screen printing are also done personally. As I'm still getting my screen printing process down, there are a few small variations and imperfections between units but nothing major.
