model 122 Super Effect Exciter
Unleash your guitar's inner beast with the Tempo Model 122 Super Effect Exciter! This unorthodox stompbox is a sonic sculptor's dream, blending noise, oscillation, and tonal manipulation in a package that's equal parts mad scientist and virtuoso performer. At its core, the 122 is a versatile white noise generator, capable of producing a vast spectrum of hisses, buzzes, and static textures. But this is no mere background noise - twist the controls, and you'll unlock a world of dynamic, responsive tones. The oscillator knob sets the base frequency, from low rumbles to piercing squeals, while the treadle pedal gives you hands-on control over the volume and intensity. But the real magic happens when you engage the wah-like "exciter" circuit. This adds a captivating, almost alien quality to your sound, sweeping and morphing the noise in mesmerizing ways. Crank it up, and you'll be drowning in a sea of glitchy, unpredictable modulation - perfect for avant-garde soloing, atmospheric soundscapes, or just plain sonic mayhem. Rumors abound that this unique pedal found its way into the rigs of experimental guitar icons like Robert Fripp and Thurston Moore, who used its unhinged tones to push the boundaries of conventional guitar playing. Whether you're a seasoned noise artist or just seeking to inject some unpredictable magic into your tone, the Tempo Model 122 Super Effect Exciter is a must-have addition to any adventurous guitarist's arsenal.
