HEAVY BIZZLE











Recently assembled in the MERDE labs: a very, very fuzzy piece of business. This unit has ALL the bass, and most of the mid as well- think Boris on a smaller budget. Knobs control output volume and 'sensitivity'- built in noise gate that takes it form rampaging feedback to hyper-muted chugfest. Two batteries? yep- it's a bi-polar circuit spar.

THE STREET TRASH















One from the M.E. vaults here.... built by the head technicians circa 2004- the guts of this baby once resided in a cheapo voice changer. Now it makes for one mean pitch bender/cruncher. Added features include a light sensor which means the pitch bend can be used as an optical theremin.

THE WED LOK
























Insane distortion/warping/squealing with built in microphone!
Signature edition as wedding gift to J. Christian Henry- here at M.E.R.D.E we pity the blushing bride!
Small knob controls volume, larger knob tweaks the sound. Push button engages/disable the microphone (which is the white piece at the front)

Indestructable contact mic R&D

Prototypes


The Dictator

The pedal that started it all. Microcassette dictaphone rewired into insane distortion with incomprehensable synth doom weirdness effects.


Walkman distortion work in progress. Dead Boss pedal housing re-cycled.

Coming soon...
