Lo-Fi
Mid-Fi Electronic's "Scrape Flutter" is Envelope controlled, phase shift based vibrato, with sidechain induced intermodulation distortion and various ugly artifacts.
Scrape flutter—a high frequency flutter of above 1000 Hz—can sometimes occur from the tape vibrating as it passes over a head, as a result of rapidly interacting stretch in the tape and stiction at the head. It adds a roughness to the sound that is not typical of wow and flutter, and damping devices or heavy rollers are sometimes employed on professional tape machines to prevent it. Scrape flutter measurement requires special techniques, often using a 10 kHz tone
I love SSNYC. Always a great sonic discovery awaiting.
Mid-Fi pedals are exactly what players like me look for. Something that undeniably transcends all sonic boundaries.
Perfect for the gnarly tape sound without the usual modulation common to most lo-fi tape warble pedals. This is more like retracting tape from a walkman after it has chewed it up or having to yank your tape back from under tarmac as the council finally get round to resurfacing your street. Doug at Mid-Fi is a master at the tape effects, so you're in safe hands with this one.
Nice addition to my pedal board. I have a pedal that can also spit out random staticky artifacts, but it is really an overdrive that doesn't play well with my other overdrives. The Scrape Flutter is something I can add on top of any of my overdrive or fuzz pedals. I like having something I can add in as desired. It does work best if fine tuned to the specific other pedal I have on, but can also just be cranked up to always be spitting out some random noise. And the tape wobble thing is great too.
There aren't any pedals like this out there. It might seem simple with only one knob but its able to transform any drive, distortion or fuzz pedal you have. I love the sound of tape but don't like delay, so this was a nice way of getting that sound in real time. Very responsive.
I didn't like this pedal at first... I used it a bunch with other pedals and I couldn't get it to sound how I wanted. I then I realized how sensitive the knob actually is and how the slightest turn can change the output so much. When making adjustments I have to slightly bump the knob up and down to find the sweet spot. Once dialed in to the tone or with other pedals this thing is really nice. Like most pedals you def need to spend some time to find what makes this pedal sing.
