Running for 78 is a CD skip/glitch/sample rate reducer pedal inspired by the way old portable CD players would glitch when shaken, for example when you are running for a bus with the player being attached to your belt.
Based on a 12 bit obsolete delay IC using old 256Kbit memory IC, this pedal provides very natural sample rate reduction ranging from slight lofi tone to complete destruction beyond note recognition, but this is just the beginning.
The main feature is the CD skip/glitch effect controlled via envelope or a built in IR sensor. Simply moving your foot over the sensor chops the signal into tiny delayed pieces and scans through them producing the effect.
Envelope control provides more straightforward glitch modulation controlled entirely by your playing.
Control sources can be combined.
Both controls can affect the sample rate for pitch and tone destruction too.
Sometimes you meet someone and you instantly feel like you have known them for ever. They are unusual, but welcoming, warm and familiar. I do not feel like this pedal is the bus I am chasing. It is the one I am running with trying to catch the bus we missed.
Electronic Audio Experiments made a post a while back about how every pedal is either a tool, toy, instrument, or art object. This is what I would call an art object/instrument. It doesn’t necessarily play itself but it doesn’t have much predictability once you turn one of the many interactive knobs. Having owned a polarized flutter + echo before this, I had a flashback of trying to figure out how the controls interacted while simultaneously missing that pedal and that’s when it dawned on me. Dial in a setting that sounds good on paper, then just play the instrument and let the pedal play along with you. Thank you Alexey for making such beautiful and unique pedals. This one is a keeper <3
