DESCRIPTION:
You don't always hear it at first. But something changes. Takes shape and forms into something else. A slur or soft speech makes it hard to hear. So you fill in the gaps. With what you want to hear. With something that's already inside of you. Something waiting to sneak out.
The Mondegreen.
The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Mondegreen pedal is a digital delay hellbent on giving you something different than what you put in. It’s delay. Into modulation. And it’s weird. Here’s the thinking: I could use five pedals to make a weird sound. OR I could use one pedal to make a weird sound. If it needs to be weirder, I'll just run it through more pedals. Perhaps it’ll be strange enough in your hands. Perhaps I’m underestimating your adventurous nature. You sly dog. Precocious Pup. Get out of here. Go get weird.
A threeway toggle switch lets the user choose between three modes of modulated delay.
STUTTER: A delay with a percussive tremolo on the trails. Morph controls the tremolo depth, from subtle to choppy. Time controls both the delay time and the tremolo rate: at its lowest setting, the delay time will be short and the tremolo rate will be slow; at its highest setting, the delay time will be long and the tremolo rate will be fast.
WHIRL: A modulated delay adding chorus on the wet signal. Morph controls the chorus depth, from 0 to 100%. The chorus rate is fixed.
SHEER: A delay with increasing octaves on the repeats. The first repeat is a clean repeat of the dry signal; the second is dry and +1 octave; the third is dry, +1, and +2 octaves; etc. The Morph knob adds a subtle modulation to the repeats as it increases.
This video was produced by Atria Creative and shot over a three day period by Blake Studdard, Mark Elliott, Cathy Begein, Brent Hodge, Kilyn Massey, Dan Pechacek, Brady Smith, Ashlee McCarroll and Seth McCarroll. The musical collaborators are Brady Smith, Kilyn Massey, Blake Studdard, Dan Pecachek and Brent Hodge. And then Seth edited the music. And then Seth edited the footage in an epic footage editing session. Because Seth still rules.
Oh and the Mondegreen is for sale. Today. Or tonight. Or tomorrow. And the next day. On the website.
