the King of Gear (tKoG) / MINI GLITCH Randomized Stutter / Loop Glitch◇Product DescriptionMini Glitch is a unique effect pedal developed by Radiohead's equipment database site "the King of Gear (tKoG)".Inspired by the randomized glitch/stutter effect of Max/MSP, it is equipped with three glitch modes, sampling size adjustment, and dry signal mute/pass selection, allowing you to fully enjoy the possibilities of glitch effects.Mini Glitch is intended for use with guitars, but it is also perfect for combining with synthesizers or processing and chopping up sound sources such as drum machines. Of course, when combined with a distorted guitar, it produces a mysterious tone "in the style of Jonny Greenwood".■MODESMini Glitch was originally created to reproduce the strange guitar sound heard in Radiohead's "Go to Sleep". Jonny Greenwood created this tone using Max/MSP, but the Mini Glitch lets you recreate this effect in a pedal-sized package.The Mini Glitch is equipped with three glitch modes, which not only recreate the Radiohead sound but also expand the possibilities of glitch effects.-Random (RND) modeThe start and end of the glitch are determined completely randomly by an internal random number generator. This mode recreates the glitch effect of Max/MSP.-Threshold (TRSH) modeWhen an input exceeds the set threshold, the input is held and the glitch begins. After that, the glitch is overwritten every time the input exceeds the threshold. This allows for creative play, such as holding only a part of the arpeggio phrase.-Switched (SW) modeThe sound is held at the moment the foot switch is pressed, creating a glitch. The foot switch can be selected to be momentary or latch type.■Dry-PathMini Glitch allows you to mute or pass the dry signal. When the dry gate switch is set to MUTE, the dry signal is muted during the glitch. This produces a tone similar to a broken CD player. When the switch is set to PASS, the dry signal is output even during the glitch.■ControlsThe SAMPLE SIZE knob adjusts the buffer size in three modes. At the fully left setting, the buffer size is random, and turning it to the right increases the buffer size. With the knob fully right, the buffer size is 1000ms in RANDOM and SWITCHED modes, and 500ms in THRESHOLD mode.■Secondary FunctionPress the footswitch and turn the knob to access the secondary functions in each mode.・Random mode: Determines the frequency of randomization, and how often sampling starts and stops. A low setting will result in less glitching, but once it occurs, it will play for a longer period of time.・Threshold mode: Sets the threshold level for triggering a new sample. If you set it higher, a stronger input is required to trigger a new sample.・Switched mode: Sets the maximum sampling length when the knob is set to Random (fully left).■Technical InfoPowered by a 9VDC, standard 2.1mm center negative power supply. Batteries cannot be used. Current consumption is approximately 60mA.
