Subdecay Noise Theory – Parallel Waveshaper Fuzz
Brands:
Experience the fuzz future with the Noise Theory. Unconfined by 60’s and 70's tradition, it embraces synth technology like wave folding and wave shaping distortions. Uncommon in the guitar world, but they’ve been used in modular synthesis for years. Unexplored sonic territory awaits.
Wave Folding: Harness the chaos
With the Edit Mode switch set to Shaper you can choose from 11 fuzz types. Fuzz 2 through 9 introduce wave folder fuzzes. These offer a spectrum of mind-bending tones with intermodulation overload.
So what is wave folding exactly?
Basic: Wave folding is a different type of distortion. Rather than simple clipping or compression, the signal folds back in on itself. This creates complex harmonic content and timbral changes. As the gain increases the signal folds more and more.
Familiar controls for gain and tone sculpt your sound, while adjusting the bias adds a distinct second harmonic.
The Noise Theory provides the means to tame the madness, offering controls for pre-fuzz compression, a high pass filter, and a low pass filter. Consult the online user guide for comprehensive details.
In addition to the wave shaper fuzzes, blend in the analog fuzz signal for added versatility, particularly beneficial for bass guitar or maintaining a semblance of normalcy if you are into that sort of thing.
Oh, and there’s also an internal chorus/flanger just because we could.
Midi control:
All parameters are controllable via MIDI in real time.
Additionally, transform the Noise Theory into a versatile 4-voice MIDI synthesizer based on phase distortion and wave folding. Simply connect a MIDI controller to the MIDI A input and play any note on the keyboard to activate the synthesizer.
64 user preset patches and 64 factory preset patches are accessible via MIDI Program Change (PC.) There are over 30 parameters editable via MIDI CC.
