| Add an octave up, dirt, weird textures, and three controls to any pedal! The Upper almost became FuzzHugger Effects' first octave fuzz...but somewhere in all of the experimenting, a new idea took shape--why not let users create their own octave fuzz? The Upper by itself is an odd, ringy octave up and texture machine! A classic octave modded for maximum weirdness and dirt, with three controls to dial in the exact texture and response you want (including blending out the octave but keeping the dirt!). From cleanish to mildly overdriven (to nasty if you want it!). Optimized for stacking with other pedals, using the independently switchable loop! The Controls! • Hi-Freq: Cuts high frequencies. Takes the edge off, or totally rolls off! • Sustain: Mainly a sustain-reducing control, as you turn right, it reduces sustain and octave presence. (Control works normally when the Bias is set to "biased." When the Bias is adjust left...then, adjust Sustain right! When adjusting, you may notice a soft click when sustain reaches "full," at hard left setting). • Bias: Weird control that adjusts octave intensity, texture, and openness of the effect. Octave is biased around the 12o'clock setting. (Slight scratch as circuit adjusts.) • Up Footswitch: Activates Upper effect. • Loop Footswitch: An independently switchable true-bypass loop. For live use, you'll likely be stacking the Upper's effect with whatever you put in the loop--a fuzz, two, an overdrive, a clean boost, etc! |
