5. "VHS" – Many VHS tapes & VHS players have perfectly normal sounding audio, but not
this one. This is a mangled VHS cassette being played through a player that only turns on
half the time.
6. "Analog Echo" – Chances are, you've heard something like this before. Prior to pristine
digital delays were gritty, quirky echoes made using Bucket Brigade circuitry and have
very limited delay time. Early BBD delays have extensive filtering prior to the feedback
line due to the circuit causing unwanted clock and aliasing noise. We no longer need that
filtering, but we've added it anyway.
7. "Flange Deck" – This is an alternate take on the Tape setting. "Flange Deck" uses a
Thru-Zero flange as its default modulation. Turn up the DESTRUCT control for warm
saturation and low-gain overdrive.
8. "Melted Wax" – a.k.a. "Bent Laser Disk" or "Mutilated Record", this preset captures the
essence of a heavily warped LP that you just cannot let go of.
9. "Fast Pitch Vibrato" – Indie Rock and hip-hop tunes love to use a pitch vibrato sound
whenever the song is described as "lo-fi". So we're using it, too.
10. "Doubler" – A pitch detune-like doubling effect, devoid of tape-related artifacts. This
one sounds WIDE after some distortion!
11. "Falling" – This is a haunting reverb coupled with a tremolo effect. It was created with
the Twin Peaks Theme in mind. Thank you, David Lynch!
12. "Viscosity" – Did we use old-sounding gear to invent a brand new modulation?
Probably not, but we can't quite put our finger on whether this is a flange, a phase, or
something else entirely. One thing we know for sure, it's viscous!
13. "BOSSFIGHT" – Imagine the sounds blaring through the CRT TV built-in speakers as
you're about to fight the final boss.
14. "My Cousin Glitchy" – Imagine playing notes, and as you are playing, your notes are
being spat back to you in a chromatic cycle. Then, you stop playing, and eventually it goes
away. That is what the LFO is doing to the Glitch engine in "My Cousin Glitchy".
15. "Bleep Bloop Supreme" – Perhaps "bleep bloop" is a divisive topic in effects pedals;
we think you'll enjoy it with "Bleep Bloop Supreme".
16. "Microtron" – Perhaps the closest Source Audio has come to a true "Tron" sound? It's
yours to decide.
