Experience the future of sound manipulation with Zenith And Vales.
Leave behind traditional silicon and germanium transistors and dive into the world of digital destruction, where binary code is transformed and distorted beyond recognition. Implement bit crushing, sample rate reduction, and aliasing to manipulate your sound source. The Zenith And Vales pedal produces unconventional, angular fuzz tones with intense digital distortion, resulting in wild peaks and valleys.
Zenith And Vales has two algorithm modes that alternate between jagged, uneven distorted sounds that are mangled beyond recognition. Additionally, two aliasing modes toggle between light undersampling and heavily pixelated artifacts.
Zenith And Vales distinguishes itself from other fuzz pedals by generating sharp, cutting textures and dramatic, exaggerated soundscapes. It is an essential sound-shaping tool, enabling you to create one-of-a-kind sounds and textures.
CONTROLS
KNOBS:
Sample Rate: Degrades the sample rate
Bit Reduction: Degrades the bit depth
Volume: Controls overall volume
Warble Speed: Controls destabilization speed
Warble Amount: Controls destabilization amount
Aliasing: Controls the resampling rate at which the aliasing occurs
SWITCHES:
SR/BR MODE
A: Higher sampling rate and bit depth, resulting in less degraded tone
B: Lower sampling rate and bit depth, resulting in more severe changes to tone
Aliasing mode
A: This resampling rate results in a range that is duller, or lower in tone
B: This resampling rate results in a range that is brighter, or higher in tone
FAQ' s:
- Current draw 130mA
- Operates on a standard Boss style 9vdc power supply
- Enclosure size: Enclosure size: 4.77" x 2.6" x 1.39"
TIPS AND TRICKS
The Zenith and Vales jumps drastically in volume on certain settings. Is this normal?
Yes. The Bit Depth control toggles through the settings like a switch, with more severe settings appearing louder
and having less dynamic range. Use the volume knob if you wish to attenuate the level.
The Zenith and Vales will cut out sometimes as a note is sustained. Is this normal?
Yes. Depending on the type of damage being caused to the signal by Zenith and Vales, you may end up with a
high contrast sound that is extremely compressed and distorted at your loudest playing, but dies very quickly.
This is great for quick percussive attacks, but if you need more sustain simply use a higher sample and bit rate
(to the left).
