Das Side FX Bug Elektrik ist ein handgefertigtes analoges Modulationspedal, das Tremolo und Ringmodulation in einem einzigartigen Schaltungsdesign kombiniert. Es verfügt über klassische Modulationsregler (Depth und Rate), zwei Wellenformen (Dreieck und Rechteck) sowie Gain- und Volume-Knobs, um die Ringmodulation in dreckigere, synthetische oder glitchige Klangbereiche zu treiben oder das Verhältnis von bearbeitetem zu trockenem Signal einzustellen. Die Modulationssektion lässt sich vollständig deaktivieren, um das Pedal als Overdrive-Vorstufe zu nutzen, und zusätzliche Envelope-Modi steuern die Modulationsrate dynamisch über die Spielweise. Ein Momentary-Schalter verlangsamt die Modulation für spontane Effekte. Mit True Bypass und Standard-9-V-DC-Versorgung gebaut, eignet sich der Bug Elektrik für kreative, experimentelle Klänge. 

The Side FX Bug Elektrik is a handmade analog modulation pedal combining tremolo and ring modulation in one unique circuit. It offers traditional modulation controls (Depth and Rate), two waveform types (triangle and square), plus Gain and Volume knobs so you can push the ring modulation into dirtier, synthy, glitchy territory or balance the wet/dry signal. The modulation section can be completely turned off to use the pedal as an overdriven preamp, and additional envelope modes control modulation rate dynamically based on playing dynamics. A momentary switch slows the modulation for glitch effects, and the unit features true bypass and works with a standard 9 V DC adapter. Handbuilt in Athens, Greece, the Bug Elektrik is designed for creative, unpredictable modulation and experimental textures.

Bug Elektrik

Ambient modulated echo unit. The Mocking Bird adds eerie, saturated repeats along your notes. It uses the popular PT2399 digital delay chip but retains your dry signal fully analog. You can filter out the highs on the repeats with the Tone knob, add pitch shifting modulation with the Rate and Depth knobs, stomp the momentary switch and drive the delay to self-oscillation or use it as a momentary on for dub-style delay fills. The delay times available are from about 50ms to 1s. In the MBD the PT2399 delay chip is brought to its extremes after the second half of the Time knob: crackling, hissing lo-fi repeats for those who enjoy them. On the other hand put the Time knob to minimum and crank the mod Depth and you have a chorus-doubling effect. The MBD uses buffered bypass which doesn’t colour your signal and allows for the Tails on/off feature: turn off the pedal but let the ambience fade out in the background or cut off as soon as you disengage the pedal.
