| Notes | “The TBD is an oscillating fuzz and a feedback loop with photosensitive eye in one pedal. The oscillating fuzz is capable of hundreds of different fuzz tones with its blend, fuzz, oscillation, and gate controls, while the feedback loop can mutate any of your other effects into a new noise-generating machine of doom.
Controls
- Volume knob: tons of gain on tap
- Blend knob: bends original signal into fuzz, thins fuzz sound
- Fuzz knob: controls power going to fuzz, becomes more sputtery at lower settings
- Oscillation knob: controls intensity and pitch of the oscillation
- Gate flip switch: toggles an alternate fuzz mode on which can gate the oscillation
- Loop foot switch: engages true bypass / feedback loop
- Eye flip switch: engages photosensitive eye to control loop intensity
- Loop flip switch: engages feedback function of loop
- Loop foot switch: engages pedals in loop
Specifications

“The Truly Beautiful Disaster consists of two effects in one pedal. First, there is the feedback loop (with photosensitive eye), which enhances effects placed in the SEND and RETURN loop of the TBD. Second, there is the oscillating fuzz, which adds an amazing amount of texture (and if needed, chaos) to the effect in the feedback loop. The feedback loop runs before the oscillating fuzz, and they are both separate, which means you can have one on at a time, or both. |
