Noise Engineering Dystorpia Fuzz Overdrive Pedal
Noise Engineering’s Dystorpia digital overdrive/fuzz pedal is designed to give a vast array of tonalities from traditional to futuristic. Inspired by the innovative synthesizer company’s Eurorack line, Dystorpia is not based on any pedal on your board. Dystorpia excels in creating ripping and gritty tones not found via traditional distortion, fuzz, and overdrive pedals.
Dystorpia features multiple distortion types that work well together for a unique sound. Fold flips soundwaves at a threshold, creating grit and gnarl. It interacts with Pura, a multi-band full-wave rectifier that adds a harmonic buzzy fuzz. The Tone and MidBand parameters work together for exquisite control over tone, from bassy to high to scoop. Add an expression pedal or control voltage in for emotive control over the voicing.
If you’re looking for more low end, turn the DOOM switch up to add a lower octave or to emphasize the lower octave for a blown sub effect. Dystorpia also features a dynamics control that can enable an envelope that shapes the output to match the input allowing playing dynamics to make it through the distortion. Dystorpia also has an optional smart Noise Gate that lowers the output level when there is no input.
Use Freeze to loop a sound. Tap the button once to latch or hold down for momentary-like effects. From subtle overdriven tones to harsh and chaotic mangling, each knob is optimized to allow for maximum exploration and dynamic interaction with the other parameters to access a huge spectrum of possibilities.
