Intensive Care Audio FIDELEATER

Intensive Care Audio FIDELEATER

Dual Phase Shifter/Tremolo

he FIDELEATER is a lo-fi chorus/vibrato/delay pedal for the treatment of Bland Guitar Syndrome and Excessive Aural Dryness. Used regularly it can provide effective relief from these, and other music and instrumentation related conditions.

All Intensive Care Audio pedals are built in London, England, using high quality components and featuring soft touch, relay based trued bypass.

Main Features:

• Lo-fi Chorus/Vibrato/Delay Effects Pedal
• Offers Lo-Fi Chorus and Vibrato as well as Glitchy Modulated Delay
• 8 position WAVE FUNCTION rotary switch allows you to select LFO waveform
  • Random Slopes
  • Random Steps
  • Sweep
  • Sine
  • Triangle
  • Square
  • Ramp Down
  • Ramp Up
• Wet / Dry mix knob from 100% wet (Vibrato) to 50/50 (Chorus)
• UNTIE switch for extending the delay time – for transforming the effect into a glitchy digital modulated delay
• Switchable Feedback path within the delay path for more luscious warbling sounds
• Tap-Tempo with dedicated footswitch
• Relay-based true bypass with soft-touch switching
• Built in London, England
• Powered via (opt.) 9V DC power supply
          (2.1 mm plug, center -, current draw 70 mA)

The FIDELEATER features 6 controls, there are therefore a range of available remedies. ItsW AVE FUNCTION 8 position rotary switch allows you to select 1 of 8 available LFO waveforms. From left to right these are; Random Slopes, Random Steps, Sweep, Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp Down, Ramp Up.

There are two soft touch footswitches, the left is BYPASS and the right is TAP TEMPO

DEPTH Sets the depth of the LFO. In certain settings, having the depth control above 12 o’clock can cause serious glitching, this is normal and you should continue with the course of treatment.

FREQ controls the frequency (speed) of the LFO. The speed (and waveform) of the LFO is indicated by the LED underneath the FREQ control.

DRY/WET determins the amount of dry signal which is mixed in. With the control fully CCW the pedal operates as a chorus. Turning this control CW gradually removes the dry signal and you are left with just the modulated signal, creating a vibrato effect.

The CONTRACT switch opens or closes a feedback path within the delay path. When open, the repeats create a luscious warbling.

The UNTIE switch extends the delay time so that the pedal operates something more like a delay than a chorus. The modulation is intensified because of this and creates another world of glitchy digital weirdness.
