Hello, and thank you for supporting Magpie Pedals and getting yourself one of my effect pedals! Please feel free to use it with guitar, bass, synths, vocals or anything in between.
The pedal uses 9VDC power (2.1mm jack: center-negative).
Controls:
The top-left “X” knob is your MIX control. From dry only, to introducing delay, to slight boost/overdriving of the delay lines.
The top-right “D” knob controls your LFO depth. It goes from subtle vibes to completely degraded lofi crazyness by pushing the PT2399 way out of its comfort zone. Works together with the “T” knob and can be pushed to completely crush the delay signal and even make it stop if you max both knobs. Don't worry though, it always comes back. And when it does it sounds a bit like robots breaking wind. As a bonus this can also be used as a sort of strange tremolo effect.
The middle T knob is your Delay time control. Together with the LFO (D) this is very much where the magic happens. You can dial in this control to balance out the depth of the LFO. Since we deliberately made it so Möist can push the PT2399 a bit to far. Vibe it out or make Möist go back and fourth from slappy delay lines to complete sample rate degredation lofi goodness. Long time and super fast LFO can make it ringmod only on the delay lines which is very interesting.
The bottom-left “F” knob is your delay Repeat/Feedback control. Max it to make your pedal scream or dial it back for your own perfect delay sweetspot. It’s pretty rad to have it almost screaming while the LFO is moving around in a semi-deep wobble - which makes it sing in some very melodic ways.
The bottom-right “S” knob is the LFO Speed control. It ranges from very very very very very slow, making the pedal output detuned delay-lines that seemingly go up and then down in pitch forever, or just make it all a bit more vibey by pulling back the delay time and LFO depth. Continue up towards dopplery back and fourth pitched-delays and all the way up to ringmod type shenanigans.
Beneath the case is the Inside Trimpot for varying the LFO shape. The sweetspot is between 1-3 o’clock, but feel free to experiment. Just know that it only controls a voltage, so the LFO will completely dissapear if you dial it back to much!
