Adding
to an acclaimed lineup of guitar effects, Haunted Labs has unveiled
the new Hell Horse fuzz delay, a co-branded
pedal created in conjunction with Dirty Haggard Audio.
The pedal brandishes a
wickedly potent fuzz circuit and delay powered by a PT2399 integrated
chip. The “degraded” delay offers a savory, sinister analog-style
echo of up to 460 milliseconds.
Adding to the Hell
Horse’s versatility, an innovative EQ circuit offers highly
flexible tone shaping by manipulating two separate frequency peaks:
one in the bass frequencies, one in the treble. The entire circuit is
controlled by two knobs:
The “Tone” knob
(more accurately described as an “EQ boost/cut” ) knobs allows
you to boost or cut both of these EQ peaks simultaneously up to +/-
15dB. Note: The center position of this knob equals flat EQ, which
effectively removes the “Shift” control (described below) from
circuit and causes it to have no effect on the sound.
“Shift”:
This control shifts the EQ peaks controlled by the tone knob further
apart if rotated clockwise, or closer together if rotated
counter-clockwise.
The Hell Horse’s four
other knobs provide familiar, essential control of these parameters:
Volume:
Allows you to attenuate or boost the output amplitude of the pedal.
Unity gain is at approximately the 3 o’clock position as tested
with single coil pickups.
Delay
Mix: This allows you to control how much of the delayed signal you
would like to mix in with your normal signal. All the way left = no
added delay signal. All the way right = full volume delay/fully
saturated sound.
Delay
time: This allows you to control how long the delay time is. All the
way left is the longest delay time, approx. 460mS. All the way right
is slowest delay time (slapback delay) at approx. 50 mS. The number
of repeats is hard-set and not user adjustable.
Fuzz:
This is an input attenuator arrangement. The input signal is either
allowed to pass fully for maximum fuzz distortion, or attenuated by
turning the control counter clockwise.
The Hell Horse offers true bypass switching, completely designed in the USA using the highest quality parts available.
