AYAHUASCA : First Edition - # 10

dieter

One of only 10 made. Definitely the only one in South Africa. Truly unique pedal, never gigged.

Just getting a feel for the interest in this unique pedal. May put up pictures depending.

So that's what unobtanium looks like... ?

I'm curious though - the clip on the website reminds me of Blueberry/Renegade, probably was a inspiration?

But at 50% markup over the OSP...I'll make do with some ableton beat repeats and bit crushing 8)

dieter

Haha, fair enough I suppose.

It's just not worth letting go for any less to be honest. I had to jump through hoops to get it here and because of that I am fairly sure another one is never going to get here. Also the OSP on the site is for the second edition.

As to getting the same result with ableton beat repeat and bit crusher, if you can you need to show me some ableton tricks because you truly are a master ?

The pedal is from Chase Bliss and some as yet unknown pedal builders, I suspect Benjamin from Dwarfcraft is one of them.
Basically it's all analog, can be used as purely a fuzz, to use the term losely as it is like no fuzz I've heard before. Then it has the tremolo which can somehow be made to self modulate (I don't even know how - it's just on one of the built in presets).

Also, that clip may well have been an inspiration. I have not seen that film though, so thanks for the recommendation ?

The youtube channel Knobs put it out and I'm sure he does video research, he certainly puts out amazing videos.

It does sound unique, I must admit, in the first edition 10 were made, was there a 2nd edition too?

dieter

Both editions were in batches of 10.
They are hand-painted so the first edition and second edition have different designs.
First edition is the one you see with the jungle motif, second edition has the geometric motif.

A very, very nice pedal. A bit rich for me, but there are some ardent fuzz collectors out there! They seem to sell quite easily overseas at $600, so I wouldn't be surprised if it went for R8 000-R10 000? You never know.

Heh, I was having a bit of fun - I'm intrigued by the pedal and thank you for posting and sharing the info! Were I to ask to visit and have you demo it, I would (durbs is a bit far though) - it would have to blow my socks right off to part with that kinda $ - I'm cheap ?

If I had a LOT of time to setup a Ableton project and could reverse engineer the modulation on tremelo, I could get some comparable glitch-y sounds, it's something I do play around with, I really enjoy the unconventional take on guitar, particularly chill/ambient styles - I've had a few live 'performances' over the years. However...The investment to get it reliably gig-able on a laptop would take a lot of $, probably around double (or more) your asking price! But then I'd have a mobile recording and performance 'studio' - I know I was comparing apples with oranges...!

Blueberry/Renegade is a cult classic - although a bit under the radar - thought seeing Eddie Izzard NOT in high heels did take some getting used to (He's the dodgy german prospector).

good luck with the sale!

I highly highly doubt you'll sell it here in ZA. Limited edition or not.

A bit of a necropost for those into glitchy sounds...(me!)

Saw this pop up in some local classifieds - made me think of the glitchy goodness of the OP's ad.

A granular filter delay/pitch shifter - great little video showing hwo the controls interact to get some spectacularly trippy noise...I like! And around 1/5 of the price of the Aya pedal.
