New octave drone pic too. It looks like there is a filter knob now (it has three knobs now).

Very interesting developments....

hey, so, this thread has been going for five years, but we still don't have a master rundown on what each of these pedals are.
Or maybe we do and I missed it over the half-decade.

What they're based on, or just what they do?

Both? I know some are Freekish-ed, some are originals?

People can edit/add to this (as I'm a gut/chip n00b and can't tell you about that at all)
Repeater: Vox repeat percussion, but goes deeper/derper. Fairly standard sounding for a Seppuku pedal.
Octave Drone: Very treble-heavy fuzz. Almost sitar-like. Can also produce pulsating octave drones on higher gain settings.
EcoMod: Light based/sensitive envelope filter controlled delay that's very(!) sensitive to dynamic playing/input signal.
Mind Warp: Warm and syrup-y vibrato. Mix+Speed+Depth
DLFO: Mind Warp with less depth but with dual LFOs that you can blend in with the vibrato. There's a knob for balance between the two LFOs, so you can have one more prominent in the mix than the other.
Tape Warp: Crazy vibrato/chorus. Haven't had a chance to get to know it yet. Mine has a wet/dry toggle plus a glitch/chaos toggle on top of the standard knobs (speed+depth).
Fuzz Overloader: Very meaty fuzz. Sounds good in all settings (no shit). Great range on the tone knob, from boomy and full on bass to grainy dead battery highs. To me it sounds a bit like a Big Muff with a pinch of mids. Or maybe a DBA Fuzz War..? Mine is one of the first ones, so it doesn't have the toggles (boost and ???).
Digital Water: Circuit bent NUX Time Core. Lasers, water, bleeps and bloops. Can't be compared to any other pedal that I know of. Time, mix, repeats, trails/normal/save toggle. 7 delay modes (I think) + looper.
Digitizer: Bitcrusher/pitch fuzz with gate and two oscillators, glitch toggle and 8 different modes of crushing/pitching.
Sub-Octave Synthesizer: 1+2 octave down arpeggiator. Controls are volume, filter and blend. Also has a glitch toggle.
Memory Loss: Glitch delay with in-house fuzz/boost.
Junk Tone: Synthy filter fuzz of some sort. Has toggle that interupts the filter. Sounds terrible in all the right ways.
RadioFreq/AnalSynth: His take on PLL. Very distubing. Loudest pedal I've heard. Controls are: volume, wave(s), input signal, gate and frequency Has 6-way toggle knob to select mode and it also has a glitch toggle.
Kompakt Kassette: Drenched and extremely saturated tape delay. Very sensitive to input. Only does one repeat. Definitely sounds best with tone+volume rolled back or low output PUs. Doesn't like being at the end of a chain (but it's pretty funny to put it there anyways). Toggle to add in-house fuzz and button for dry+wet/wet only.
I don't know. I suck at explaining pedals.
That's why I make demos instead!

DPM-2 is an analog/digital hybrid circuit with chip very similar to the DBA Robot or other toy voice synth things. It adds overtones, ocatves, and pitch shifting from the chip on top of blendable analog/digital distortion.
Pitch Monster is very similar to the DPM-2 but I with I think a different control scheme. Digitizer is in this family too
Memory Loss is a pedal that starves/overloads a delay chip to degrade the repeats/create osc/saturate/glitch (though not as extreme of glitching as other things...more atmospheric).
Mindwarp is a vibrato based off the pt2399 and it can be a straight vibrato but the warp saturates the chip and over gains the sweep. Can be weird.

Rhys does a pretty colorful job at describing the pedls on his website but demos are the best bet to get better understanding of how amazing Seppuku pedals are.
Looking Forward to that junk tone demo

Thanks, UC. I'm going to miss this (because of $300), though, dang it.UglyCasanova wrote:Kompakt Kassette. US only. $299

I don't blame you for not going for it. Honestly I'd just wait for Rhys to put one up instead, it'll be cheaper that way. Then you can get a KK with the inhouse fuzz circuit as well. That price is stupid bullshit.

Yea, 300 is high. They can be had for around 200 easy.

I tried the Junktone (and a bunch of other Seppukus) when I jammed at UCs place, and it sounds really cool. Looking forward to dat demo.UglyCasanova wrote:Uncle Grandfather wrote:Looking Forward to that junk tone demo
