TARS

Fuzz / Analog Filter

TARS is a fuzz/analog filter pedal. It means "This Audio Reached Singularity".
It’s a robot looking for life in space too. But that’s a long story we’ll tell you in the user manual. 

TARS’ fuzz part comes from the Black Hole Symmetry "Singularity" section. 
Put it through the analog "MS-20 style" filter to create fuzzy-noisy textures. 
Cut through the mix with the different filter and EQ possibilites or sweep between the frequencies to create huge waves of noise.

DEMO

- Hey TARS, what’s your fuzz parameter?

- 70%

- 70? Let’s move to 100%. Filter parameter?

- 100%

- Filtered Fuzz parameter?

- 100%

- Fuzz with EQ parameter?

- 100% sir

- Filtered Fuzz with EQ parameter?

- Still 100%

- OK TARS. You’re ready to fuzz space. Please react to my Expression pedal or CV signal as soon as you receive it.

CUSTOM KNOBS

Those lovely UFO knobs are handmade with love,
in France !

Yeah we know this is incredible but everything is Made in France here !
From the box, to the circuit.

Controls

  • Gain : Placed after the Jfet transistor input stage and followed by silicon gain and clipping stages. 

  • Master : Master volume. 

  • CutOff : This fader controls the cutoff frequency of the MS-20 style low pass filter. Based on a LM13700 stage. Goes from 15Hz to 44kHz. 

  • Resonance : Increases the intensity of the signal around the cutoff frequency.

  • LPF VOL : VCA - sets the output volume of the filter. Pretty useful to adjust the filter to your setup.

  • 2p/4p toggle switch : Select the attenuation curve. Cut at -12dB/octave (2p) or at -24dB/octave (4p). 

  • Add Fuzz (On/Off) toggle switch :  Add an extra unfiltered fuzz signal. The result is louder and creates cool frequencies boost or cut depending on the cutoff position.

  • S / P toggle switch : Put the fuzz through the filter in serial - or use both effects in //. 

  • Expression/CV : The Expression/CV control is linked to the cutoff fader. The cutoff fader value sets the lowest value the EXP pedal can go.
