The Bleep is the most fun, most out-there pedal in the Rainger FX line! Its a compilation of various sounds from the range of Dwarf pedals recently discontinued, but in a more usable format. Using the same full-on fuzz circuit from the Dr Freakenstein Fuzz pedal, it has more low-end, the LFO speed is adjustable on-the-fly, and the chip-destablising bleep facility is now accessible via a front panel knob.
The overtone is controlled by knob, LFO, or Igor controller. With Igor plugged in, the Bleep is highly controllable while youre actually playingno huge-and-heavy expression pedal needed. The dual-sensitivity pressure pad in effect adjusts the Overtone knob, or the LFO speed. The built-in noise gate is always in operation, ensuring the pedal is totally silent when theres no signal; that means zero background hissat whatever volume youre playing at.
The green-on-green LED display changes with every new phrase you playor every bleep, graphically showing whats going on in a truly mesmerising fashion.
This pedal covers a wide palette of sounds, from hard chunks of uncompromising fuzz, to edgy lead tones that are guaranteed to cut through a mix. The sustain can morph into robot alarm sounds, the signal degrading into rhythmical proto-synthy pulses, their pitch actually playable in real time. With the LFO on, the overtone is automatically modulated to produce a slowly scything tonal movementlike an extreme phaser, and with the Bleep/Fuzz knob and Igor pressed the speed ramps up, moving into psychotic chirping like some fiendish arcade game
