F-1 Complex Distortion Pedal


ever wondered what would happen if you deliberately destroyed your tube amp? now you can blow it up, every day, all day long. without actually damaging anything.

the f-1 pedal uses a unique vacuum-tube pentode circuit to do something special: it simulates the extreme distortion, parasitic oscillations, and other unique sounds that come from a tube guitar amp that is being overdriven to flaming destruction.

there's only one knob to adjust, and it only needs one knob.

"complex distortion" varies the plate loading on the two pentodes to give asymmetrical distortion, and it varies the feedback effects—all on one knob. a vast cornucopia of sound effects, from mild vacuum-tube warmth to berserk torturous screaming violence, is just a knob-turn away.

it's hand-made, in california, by real people. and there's nothing else even vaguely like the f-1, in any form.

no one else can do it.
That is fantastic for so many reasons. :hihi:

I'm going to have to check that out. It's not cheap but the blurb suggests to expect something nasty.

Unfortunately abandonware and 32-bit only , but Berrtill was one of the cruelest/harshest

Metasonix stuff is crazy good if you like noise.

Definitely worth checking out a few youtube and soundcloud demos.

At first glance I thought the brand was MeatSonix and now I'm bummed that it's not. :D

Some of their other pedals names go into that direction.
Judging from their sound demos back then they're good for fart sounds. Of course not sure if this is still the case with this pedal. Would take some listens first before purchase just to make sure this will lead to desired results
The GAS is always greener on the other side!

In no particular order: MBWaveshaper, Ohmicide, DFX polarizer, UA dent/indent, and MBitfun. These are the nastiest ones I can think of.

Farts.

But the audio recording quality was terrible anyway.

Could be useful for something doomy? Maybe. Or just something to stomp on whilst the final note of a song is being sustained.

Meh.

I was expecting more. Though, again that was hardly a demo. But those were the only two videos I could find at first glance. I'd like to see JHS demo it. Love that channel.

Cytomic's "the drop" is amazing for distorted beyond recognition sounds. You'll want to crank the gain and use the envelope followers and the filter fm.

The new free waves plugin is pretty good for dirtiness as well.

a whole lot of folks asking about distortion lately. this is a very hot distortion. I LUV it.

Not a plugin (that I know of) but I have the plasma overdrive in my Eurorack- purse filth! In the VST world if I want dirt I use Trash.

Trash 2 + 2 sound packs is currently £9 so no excuse not to have it!! https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/ ... Expansions

A bit of Plasma for fun, eye candy :-)
