Intensive Care Audio The Fideleater

The FIDELEATER features 6 controls, there are therefore a range of available remedies.

WAVE FUNCTION: An 8 position rotary switch allows you to select 1 of 8 available LFO waveforms. From left to right these are; Random Slopes, Random Steps, Sweep, Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp Down, Ramp Up. These waveforms are brought to you by the STOMPLFO courtesy of Electric Druid.

DEPTH: Sets the depth of the LFO. In certain settings, having the depth control above 12 o’clock can cause serious glitching, which is fun obviously.

FREQ: Sets the frequency (speed) of the LFO CHORUS/VIBRATO: Sets the amount of dry signal which is mixed in. With the control fully CCW the pedal operates as a chorus. Turning this control CW gradually removes the dry signal and you are left with just the modulated signal, creating a vibrato effect.

EXPAND: The expand switch opens a feedback path within the circuit and fills your sound with lovely warbling goodness.

UNTIE: The untie switch pulls the pin out of the grenade and walks away. It extends the delay time so that the pedal operates something more like a delay than a chorus. The modulation is intensified because of this and it’s another world a glitchy digital weirdness.
