Mwfx Judder (2022)

sampler/repeater/delay

A mid-fi sampler/repeater pedal that drops in loops of echo, volume, pitch and modulation effects on the fly using an intuitive switching system. These are labour intensive and only about 100 are made each year.

This is the current standard version. There was also a tru bypass version that is now discontinued.

The Judder pedal is instant phrase sampler. Tapping or holding down the momentary foot switch repeats a near infinite loop of what you just played. Releasing the footswitch clears the sample and silently records new loops until you press the button again. The fast but clickless switching allows for ever changing, on the fly loops that can be cut into and manipulated or held for long periods with a slow tape style degradation.

The length of the sample is dictated by the main knob which adjusts sample rate (pitch), taking loops of 27ms - 300ms, with the option of slowing the sample down to individual blips and bleeps of the memory. This larger version includes automatic triggering of the effect using the envelope of the guitar or LFO. The envelope and LFO voltage signals can also be used to modulate the pitch of the sample.

These extra options turn the pedal from a looper into a standard delay, with options for gated or ducked echo (that resets with each gate), envelope controlled chorus, pitch shifted echo and arpeggiator effects.
