"A dual pll (phase locked loop) effect pedal, with both pll's intertwined and sputtering away. lots of other sounds. pew pew. only a deep kick and a high hat made from white noise are being processed. more than an average bitcrusher: some synthy madness resides in these wires. coloringpad.org is where i reside.

note: i can't make these for production until i partner with someone who knows how to design circuit boards and wants in. otherwise, it will make appearances in my music and such, which is worth checking out, i think. love you."

"For quick sale! Funding my life at the moment... this is a PLL pedal unlike no other, and I designed it for synths and drums. I hope you love it.

a crunchy analogue sounding bit-crushing synthy thing

a sputtering fm-tuning finish to notes

a fuzzy pitch shifter

a pulse width tremolo synth can be applied to the incoming audio

a similar sound to a blaster as wielded by Han Solo can be achieved pew-pew

a self-oscillating madhouse of recharging capacitors

an additive of not-usual effectology

a distorted, glitchy, fuzzy bass synth

a drone full of clicks and pulses

an 8 bit erratic synthetic hyperdrive

when a combination of knobs are turned up into inaudibly high frequencies, it self-oscillates in unusual ways, often only when an audible signal is not present. This unique self-oscillation can cause frequencies to pulse in the absences, creating synthetic pulses when applied to rhythms.

when a combination of knobs are turned down to droning audible frequencies, it acts like an Atari Punk Console with frequencies only modified by the incoming signal.

The push.pull pedal is a synth effect based upon the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) IC, in which the PLL has been “unlocked” and let loose through 10 knobs.

Comes with power supply. Accepts 1/4" ins and outs. Operates best with a line level signal or very loud level for other instruments. Very loud output!"

"push.pull spectrum

pulse synth harmonics . phase (un) locked loops

The push.pull pedal is a synth effect based upon the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) IC, in which the PLL has been “unlocked” and let loose through 16 knobs, a joystick, switches, and a light controlled filter. It is hard to describe the sounds I have already heard: distorted, glitchy, fuzz, bass synth, drone, full of clicks, 8 bit, and erratic synthetic hyperdrive.

16 knobs

1 Joysick contolling four oscillators

Ocsillators intertwined in the PLL circuitry

Spectrum Controlled light modulation and filters

Octave divider

Strong Preamp

4 switches adding longer capacitator times and alternate routing of resistors

Mixing section for oscillators

Bright blue led pulses with PLL

"push.pull
pulse synth harmonics
phase (un)locked loops

The push.pull pedal is a synth effect based upon the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) IC, in which the PLL has been "unlocked" and let loose through joysticks, switches, and a pushbutton. It is hard to describe the sounds I have already heard: distorted, glitchy, fuzz, bass synth, drone, full of clicks, 8 bit, and erratic synthetic hyperdrive.

4 Non-Return to Center Joysticks
A green LED pushbutton that "unlocks" the pedal, allowing it to spiral out of control.
4 switches: Capacitor Envelope (Slow, Slower, Bypass) High/Low Tone Select Feedback Select (Audio, Voltage, Bypass) True Bypass
In/Out/Power

Painted in Blurple Colorshift and coated in a thick bar top-type epoxy
Low profile aluminum enclosure

I will add graphics.

Ridiculous. Insane. Brilliant. Wrong. Some adjectives I have heard to sum up musician's first impressions. I am flattered.

Why? Because I love the delicate monstrosity that is precarious noise. I also wanted to make at least an entry into the category of craziest pedal ever. Hope I can be yours.

I will manufacture these. Since I am emerging as a pedal artist, I will do a limited run of these (say about 10) over the next month or two. I am looking for investors and/or a collaborators smarter than me in the area of engineering and electronics, so that the push.pull can be even better. In the meantime, I will post videos and experiment and refine. If you would like one, email me about your interest at either pushpullpedal@gmail.com or coloringpad@gmail.com and I will keep you posted and definitely email you when they are ready.

Price? Not there yet. I'll know more soon.
