3. Thermae by Chase Bliss Audio
This isn't just any analog delay/chorus pedal. The Thermae represents a radical approach to analog delay, providing the ability to manipulate the delay time in musical intervals, creating pitch-shifting effects that can transform your guitar into a symphonic extravaganza.
4. Data Corrupter by EarthQuaker Devices
Another gem from EarthQuaker Devices, the Data Corrupter is a monophonic analog harmonizing PLL (Phase Locked Loop) pedal that turns your guitar signal into a three-voice synth. It's perfect for creating wild, glitchy, and harmonically interesting sounds that defy conventional guitar playing.
The Mood pedal is a dual-channel granular micro-looper/delay. Designed to be playful and immediate, it's a study in interaction. The Mood invites you to create, modify, and play with micro-loops in real-time, with layers of effects to make your guitar sound like it's being manipulated by an outside force.
Imagine a fuzz pedal combined with a theremin-like proximity sensor. The Fuzz Probe lets you manipulate the fuzz effect's intensity with your foot's distance from the pedal, adding a touch of performance art to your pedalboard.
The Bit Commander is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer that packs a punch. With controls for Sub, Down 1, and Up 1, you can create a range of sounds from heavy sub-octave bass to squelchy, Atari-like tones. It's perfect for guitarists looking to add some retro synth vibes to their playing.
These pedals are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to innovative soundscapes. They prove that there's no limit to the sounds you can create with a guitar, some imagination, and a willingness to explore the unknown.
