\"Effect<\/a>The market for guitar-effects has grown a lot in the recent years and therefore there has never been a wider range of pedals as today.
\nWhile the first boutique manufacturers focused themselves on the modification and the building of clones of old and rare pedals, the next generation of boutique manufacturers found a totally new way.
\nInstead of another Tubscreamer-modification these days the manufacturers offer innovative pedals that enable the user to create completely new kinds of sounds. And sometimes the boundarys between guitar- and synthesizer- effects vanish.
\nHere I would like to present a small selection of interesting pedals.<\/p>\n

Montreal Assembly \u2013 Count to Five<\/h2>\n

The Montreal Assembly \u201cCount to Five<\/a>\u201d is a good example for one of these innovative new pedals. After you have seen the video of this pedal on Youtube you actually do not really know how it works and I guess this is one of the reasons why in forums the \u201cCount to Five\u201d is presented as an autonomous instrument that invites the user to an experimental journey.
\nOne might say the \u201cCount to Five\u201d is some kind of delay and looper but this description would underestimate the possibilities of this pedal a lot. It samples short sequences to reproduce them or to repeat them backwards in varying pitches. This can be done either in real time (similar to a delay) or as a short loop (up to 16 seconds). And it is also able to reproduce certain loops accidentally in different replay directions.
\nA quite interesting pedal with sounds that are almost impossible to reproduce and which indeed can hardly be explained.<\/p>\n

Old Noise Blood \u2013 Endeavor Procession Reverb<\/h2>\n

The Old Noise Blood \u201cProcession Reverb<\/a>\u201d is a lo-fi reverb with additional effects. A particularity is the maximal duration of the reverb which can be set as an endless effect. Additionally you can activate flanger, tremolo and vibrato. By this the \u201cProcession Reverb\u201d is able to create wonderful floating sounds which are especially interesting for soundscaping.
\nThis surely is no spring reverb emulation and those who search for a reverb in studio quality should maybe choose another manufacturer but the spherical sounds of this pedal are absolutely unique.<\/p>\n

Earthquaker Devices – Data Corrupter<\/h2>\n

The \u201cData Corrupter<\/a>\u201d is an analog and monophonic harmonizer with modulation. Its sound might remind you of those of the video game consoles of the 80s and therefore is miles away from conventional guitar sounds.
\nMostly the sounds are like the ones created by a fuzz or octave pedal and you can also add a vibrato modulation.
\nThese possibilities enable the user to create insane sounds which get close to the sound of a synthesizer and which by adding certain harmonies produce an interesting intermodulation.<\/p>\n

Dwarcraft Devices \u2013 PitchGrinder<\/h2>\n

The Dwarcraft Devices \u201cPitchGrinder<\/a>\u201d 8 step sequenced pitch shifter. It also creates a lo-fi 8 bit sound that can be reproduced in varying pitches by a sequencer with tap tempo.
\nThe tone range reaches from one octave lower to two octaves higher than the original tone.
\nThe sound is something like a bit crusher and the pedal provides numerous setting options. Similar to other sequencer pedals you can skip steps or choose a glide effect.
\nAn interesting tool for experimenting and perhaps an entry into the world of synthesizers.<\/p>\n

Hologram Electronics \u2013 Dream Sequence<\/h2>\n

With the mix of sequencer, envelope filter, pitch shifter, sampler and some more the Hologram Electronics \u201cDream Sequence\u201d inspires to totally new ways of to create sounds.
\nThe clearly structured pedal is able to produce nice tremolo sequences that can be modulated by the in-built sequencer. Furthermore it contains an overdrive which also enrichens the sound. The setting of the knobs can be saved in the sequences.<\/p>\n

The designs of each pedal presented in this article tell a little story and in combination with the possible sounds inspire to experimenting. Even Hendrix used effects that have been newly developed in that time to elicit new kinds of sound from his guitar.
\nAnd maybe the mentioned pedals will inspire to a new approach to the guitar.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
