The Pedal Movie

[Leo_Gnardo]

Effects pedal fans, users, builders, hear ye hear ye. The Pedal Movie soon to be released in a theatre near you - probably your computer or smarty phone. Looks like it will be a winner, at least amongst us lot. Here's Frantone Fran presenting the trailer and some commentary:

Can't wait for "The Pedal Movie: the placemat" to come out. I'll snag me a set!

Funny thing, the schematic behind the pedals is obviously an amp, not a pedal. Unless it's a huge one. Would still make a great placemat, but I'd opt for a poster. Maybe a t-shirt.

Fran is certainly a treat.
Straight shooter & no BS.

No preamp, no tone controls, no power amp, fed regulated +/-15V, lots of full wave precision rectifiers and patch panel type jacks.
Looks much more like a guitar synthesizer to me.
Which would indeed be as complex as may be in the analog pre microprocssor world.

I think an entirely unfair analogy would be a movie proclaiming how walking sticks have revolutionized human ambulatory movement. Literally they are both, primarily, crutches for lack of ability!
Movie does look like a solid brick in the necessary Covid diversion wall though...
