| Smallsound/Bigsound - year4545 the year4545 is a lofi fuzz/filter noisemaker. inspired by zager & evans’ 1969 smash hit, “in the year 2525″ which suggests that future humans will have little use for their 5 senses, the year 4545 throws caution to the wind and indulges in some celebratory aural abuse. a transistor amplifier stage boosts and fuzzes up your signal, which then gets sent through a pair of unstable oscillators bent on massaging your tone into oblivion. simple, yet highly interactive controls create a mess of different sounds, including: fuzz, filter, octaves, ring modulation, 8-bit effects, random pitch shifting/jumping, triggered envelope-type effects, harmonic resonances , hisses, crackles, squeals and general cacophony… some important notes: _we tune each year4545 by ear so that they are as consistent as possible, but due to the experimental nature of the circuit, each pedal will be unique. controls: vol, volume. loud, so start low and go slow... some settings are very loud and some are very quiet and it may jump from on to the next pretty quickly, so be aware. oO, saturation. this is a sort of blend control between the fuzzy boosted signal and the oscillator. turning CW typically gives a fuller signal with less oscillation. x, oscillator X. changes frequency of the oscillator. hard to say what will happen... y, oscillator Y. changes frequency of the oscillator. does different things than X. xx, oscX freq shift. shifts frequency of X to low, mid or high. yy, oscY freq shift. shifts frequency of Y to low, mid or high. there is an internal high cut trimpot to tame some excess high end at the output. i ship the pedal with a very slight amount of cut... feel free to change to your taste. *the year4545 reacts differently to input volume and impedance, so in general it likes to be closer to the source signal. lower or higher input volume will cause the pedal to behave differently... so experiment! (lower is usually trashier, higher is usually more compressed) |
