Falling man

Empty Head Effects

Falling Man will allow you to bask in the glorious light of the sun as you fly out high in the fresh cool air of a crisp Spring's morning. But make no mistake, you're falling, and you may find yourself, in an instant, somewhere in the depths of a darkened, darkening, dark place coming down to land with the heaviest of thumps.

Was the Falling Man an astronaut? A skydiver? An unfortunate hiker? A miraculous Unknown Flying Object? An angel from the heavens? Were they simply asleep and waking abruptly? Or more sinister perhaps, did he mean to jump, or was he pushed?

Based around a 2399 delay chip, the pedal starts life as a simple delay effect, with 'Stride' (delay time) and 'Pace' (feedback amount) but from there one can engage the 'Fall' control (input envelope following modulation) to invoke and increase the strength of gravity as it pulls your signal ever closer and more comprehensively to the ground.

'Stumble' keeps the Man above ground. 'Trip' however breaks the Man through the floor and into the dark unknown depths of a catacomb below. With Fall engaged you hear the ghostly broken echos and reflections of feverish yell as he falls into the hollow.
