Dispersion - The Fourth Ever Pitch Controlled Modulation Effect 

The equivalent of playing guitar through an amplifier made of wobbling sheet metal lol

Synth showcase at the end and the guitar stuff with distortion/fuzz really is where this shines and that feedback button is sick

I had a similar circuit i discussed in the discord a couple of years ago. I sadly haven't been able to finish the project. But the idea was. You take your input signal. Feed at as the modulation signal for a ring mod circuit. But at the same time. Feed the input into 2 op amps. Running rail to rail. One to postive the other to negative. The postive output would be fed into the inverse input of the op amp. So I would get 2 rail to rail signals that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. This is the carrier signal for the ring mod, which would have the product of all that being a double side band surpresed carrier signal at the output. I need to finish that project. But the whole reason for coming up with it is because i remember hearing a ring mod just sing and harmonize when the lfo and carrier are at the same frequency. I wanted to have that all the time. No need to tune the lfo, you are the lfo and carrier.

All my homies love a dedicated feedback footswitch

great idea! wonder, how a human voice sounds through it. would be great if you add examples with voice through your pedals. maybe i just should try to kinda recreate it with my modular so and try it with my voice :)

Frayed knot tremolopolis, red panda radius, pigtronics ringmaster all use a similar concept

Babe wake up, a new Magpie pedal just dropped.

Cool looking pedal. Cool name. WIld idea as always! The fuzz sounds fantastic.

This is very cool. I've done this before or something like it on my semi-modular synth, but it's really cool to have it all in one pedal.

im never going to stop looking at the piece of paper, i will not listen to it

ciat lonbarde did several instruments building on this kind of thing buy using amplitude not pitch but using it on two mono filters set as a stereo pair. I loved that sound, super pumped you've rolled along with something like that!!

As a guitarist and a songwriter myself I have always had an interest in Audio Electronics and over the years I have designed and built everything from optical tremolos to talk boxes, wah wah pedals to infinite sustainers and tube boost pedals to loopers. I’m always drawn towards the ethereal and bizarre, opting to create a wall of sonic sorcery, bending sound and effects to my will. Which is precisely why I love your channel. We are very much alike. We are mad scientists of acoustic malady.

Ordered! Can't wait to get it on my desk.

Well...that's different. I love it man!

I wonder how this would sound with a Rainbow Machine?

It is excellent, and it is pretty, so double win!

hey mister... i've done some mainVCO->clock div->slew/etc->VCF/FX mod input patches in euro/virtual ... and i think this is maybe the best self-contained pedal implementation of that kind of weirdness that i've ever seen. i'm more of a "force Regular pedals/modules to act weird together" type of person, and i don't have any visual designs more far-out than EHX's. but i think i really want to get this!!! it's like intellectually i understand how it works and could probably build something like it myself, but you have done the harder wok of turning it into something i will want to interact with as a Musician again and again.

Perhaps a bit less extreme, but it might be fun to make an "InPhaser" - use the same frequency division and clipping to generate square waves - but generate both one and two octaves below the input - then feed the single-octave-down into the rate (or alternately/switchably, the sweep depth?) of a phaser, with the two-octave-down providing a mute-gate as you have here. A similar idea using a flanger could also be fun 🙂

You gotta give one of these to Nick Reinhart of Tera Melos / Dishelved Cuss. Does seem like his cup of tea

for a few seconds sounded like a more funky version of the spirit in the sky

dope design!

You can fit a lot of things behind a desk

Have you thought of maybe building the triple bypass system into a multi fx pedal looper?

very cool

it's awesome, especially with that fuzz circuit. what about adding a switchable envelope/lfo that could be assigned to any knob?

I have wanted a pitch-controlled expression pedal for the longest time, but wouldn't an LFO be better suited to modulation effects?

DINKLEBERG!!!!!!!

This + Disco Noise would be fun and horrifying, I think.

wow wow wee wow!!

Is there an LFO out?

2 of these in series would be cool, except maybe only fuzz on 1 of them. Or maybe a low tone fuzz on 1, and a higher tone... this isn't my favorite fuzz from what I hear so far, anyway. I think it's more papery or crinkly or spitty, whatever you want to call that, than I like. Maybe it's a me issue - I think I usually like to stack lower gains more than using 1 nuclear option fuzz. I have a Malekko b.Assmaster but I hardly plug it in.

Travis Wammack?

My Bloody Valentine 6:30ish

someone buy one of these for Helios Creed pls

Sounds like Toro y Moi

request to play Miku through it, as always. ❤

Been done before

if only i had dollars...

😘😘😘🤩

can you make a build kit or a way to get this at an affordable price in the US? Why else would anyone want it really. lol either way thanks for sharing. I think this is you greatest pedal yet.

this thing looks f*ckin sick asf!!!!!!

No sir I don’t like it 🐴

I know nothing of this dispersion, perhaps it is of the distortion devil, all my guitar pedals have been blessed by the ‘creep’n on ya’s’ Pope
