Sputtering Spicket

Finally, a pedal that isn't meant for feedback loops. Basically, all this pedal does is some distortion like it's meant to, and then as the distortion knob is increased, it starts to intermittently gate the sound completely. It sort of sounds like a tremolo with an inconsistent rate. What you hear in the sound clip is just a wall of noise (with the pedal engaged) made from some other equipment. Then you will start to hear me increase the distortion knob very slowly, and then turn the pedal off. You will notice that the more I turn it up, the more the sound sputters and gates. This doesn't work with extremely hot signals because they will not allow the gating to work. So feedback loops probably won't be a good home for this pedal. A friend of mine sold me this thing for $20, bent. I reversed the bend, used it for a while, then added this new bend to it and am flipping it for the same amount.
