LILAC CLOUD
Self Oscillating Fuzz
Lilac Cloud is a fuzzy overdrive that started off as a Harmonic Percolator but was tweaked, expanded and de-mojoed. It has an EQ section, optional clipping, self-oscillation and it has Flab!
The story
I have no idea if it sounds like one. I have never tried a real one and they all seem to be different anyway.
I just liked the grain and wide range of distortion that this configuration provided, allowing you to go from an almost clean boost to a thick compressed fuzz.
Controls
Adjusts the overall volume of the pedal.
Adjusts the amount of distortion.
Simple low pass filter to adjust the amount of treble.
Simple high pass filter to adjust the amount of bass.
When flicked up it engages a pair of silicon diodes that clip and compress the signal.
Adjusts the amount of self-oscillation. All the knobs except Vol will influence the behavior of the feedback.
Adds mass to the sound. Can also cause low pitched self oscillation when the bass control is maxed. When Fdbk is turned down, Flab can also be used as a boost, especially when Gain is set low.
