Cloak Audio Jackdaw

This is officially launching soon, but here's a sneaky pic. This unusual fuzz pedal is available to try at Regent Sounds on Denmark Street right now. More stockists coming soon...

Is this separate from Fredric?

"The Cloak Audio Jackdaw is a unique fuzz pedal. Combining two synthy-sounding octave fuzzes run in parallel - an upper and lower octave fuzz - it covers the whole frequency range. It's dirty and snarly on the low notes, almost like a malfunctioning analogue synth, and relentlessly precise on the higher notes. It is always rewardingly noisy! These parallel fuzzes are mixed together and fed into a filter circuit, the characteristics of which can be changed from a regular tone control to fixed-wah to an envelope-following, more vocal sounding filter."

Wow sounds brilliant!

Yes, Cloak Audio is smaller runs of more complicated original effects, sold just through dealers. Because there are currently 20 pedals in the Fredric range, I thought it better to branch this one off as it's own thing!

Holy shit, that sounds amazing.

Can the filter be expression controlled?

Not on this version, but it may happen in future.

Some new Jackdaws fresh off the production line. We'll have a couple of these at the Thame Guitar & Music Fair on 5th June to try.

Interesting pedal.

Not sure why I thought this but I would have wanted to have heard the main riff from Status Quo's 'Whatever You Want' played over and over through that fuzz pedal. 

ThePrettyDamned

Oh man, it looks awesome. I will have to try one.

If you want to try the Jackdaw in person, there will be some on the Fredric Effects stand at the Bournemouth Guitar & Music Fair on the 5th March.
