RecHead Lo-Fi Dynamic Modulator Pedal

Bleak District Electric RecHead

Cozy up to the lo-fi timbres and textures of cassette tape with Rec Head from Bleak District Electric, a saturation and modulation pedal that delivers nostalgic warble galore directly to your pedal board. Combining both the harmonic enhancement of tape saturation and the sputtering flutter of old and wonky cassettes, Rec Head is a perfect tool to add rich texture to any signal. Going beyond mere random modulation, the vibrato in Rec Head features a dynamic response which increases the wow and flutter depth as you play louder for unique expressive potential. Adjust the range of this dynamic response with the Sensitivity control, enabling extreme, near tape-stop effects at high settings and playing volumes. The Character knob simultaneously adjusts the gain and tone circuits under the hood, allowing for anything from bright, jangly tones to hefty, wooly saturation. Blending between the emulation effect and your dry signal using the Tape Return control enables wide double-tracking and chorus effects, while the dedicated Kill Dry switch removes the dry signal entirely, leaving the Return control to act as a final volume level. With simple, intuitive operation and a wealth of dynamic tones to explore, Rec Head from Bleak District Electric is a no-brainer addition to any rig looking for lo-fi vibe and character.
