20% More - Slew Limiting Distortion
Fairfield Circuitry's 20% More is a captivating slew-limiting distortion pedal that takes you on a sonic journey through uncharted territories. Inspired by the mysterious origins of a peculiar oscillator schematic, this pedal's unique circuitry unlocks a world of tonal possibilities. At the heart of the 20% More lies a slew limiter, a clever circuit that controls the rate of voltage change, effectively acting as a steep, distorted low-pass filter. This limitation on the input signal's dynamics creates a lush, organic distortion, with the fixed slopes generating mesmerizing triangle wave oscillations that give the pedal its distinctive character. But the 20% More is more than just a standard distortion. As the input signal interacts with this oscillation, it can overwhelm the circuit, leading to captivating pseudo-wavefolding and synthetic distortion artifacts. The result is a pedal that blurs the line between instrument and effect, offering a truly unique and expressive voice. Guitarists seeking to expand their tonal palette will find the 20% More endlessly inspiring. Its ability to generate everything from smooth, singing leads to gritty, evolving textures makes it a must-have for those who crave sonic exploration. While the origins of this pedal may be shrouded in mystery, its impact on your playing is undeniable.
