FIRST SOUNDS // Dirge Electronics Gritty Melt (Slowly Melting)

The Gritty Melt is a one off for our buddy Kris of Like Jones Pedals (home of the Gritcake!) and is an ode to the Gritty, the Philly Flyers mascot! Otherwise it’s a Slowly Melting by  @DIRGEELECTRONICS 

The Dirge Slowly Melting is a Lofi Fuzz/Delay/Chorus/Doubletracker that takes a PT2399 Delay Chip and stretches it far beyond its means, creating wild, harsh, unpredictable, and gnarly sounds.

From Lofi-tape warbles, to fuzzy double tracking, to oscillating fuzz, this pedal packs a ton of sounds into one small box.

Controls: Loud:

Volume. EXTREMELY LOUD.

Starve: Power starve. All the way down is full voltage, push the knob up to starve the pedal and unlock new sounds.

Length: This controls the ‘delay’ length, from short double tracking to stretched out noisy delay sounds.

Melt: This knob is tied to the MELT footswitch and controls the amount of output going back into the input of the pedal. NOTE: This knob is only active with the Melt Footswitch engaged.

Warble: This control sets the amount of modulation applied to to the delay signal. From subtle to wild. The lower the setting, the more artifacts and noise created.

Blend: This is a pseudo-blend control that blends between delay and fuzz sounds- go from full wet delay with fuzz to fuzz only with this control, you can also take the delay mix with this.

Each Slowly Melting is made one at a time in a shed and kitchen table in Maryland.
