MG Music Parliament Fuzz Guitar Pedal
If you throw King Crimson’s RED and Primus’s Pork Soda records in the same basket then add a few more records like Miles Davis’s ON THE CORNER, Parliament’s CHOCOLATE CITY, Shuggie Ottis’s INSPIRATION INFORMATION plus Frank Zappa’s OVERNITE SENSATION you have the Sound Ingredients from our PARLIAMENT ENVELOPE FILTERFUZZ OCTAVE DOWN, a long long name because the variety and quality of sounds you will have coming out of your amplifier speaker. The first records I mention (king Crimson and Primus) are the sound reference to Parliament’s OCTAVEFUZZ mode while the others are very clear references to our pedal’s Envelope Filter mode. Not to mention on top of all what will bring by adding the effect of SAMPLE & HOLD in these first two modes. Unique pedal effect ! Radical tones that often sound like an old and beloved Analog Synth in a small box! Below we describe each Mode and its respective parameters: FOOTSWITCH ON / OFF: Turns the pedal on and off without triggering either mode directly, when it is engaged and no MODE is turned on, the pedal will be in STANDBY. The OCTAVEFUZZ mode with two octaves below: The PARLIAMENT ENVELOPE FILTER OCTAVEFUZZ is a mix of fuzz with a two octave octave below triggered by the OCTAVE footswitch.
BLEND: works like a DRY / WET potentiometer, the farther left you get the DRY SIGNAL (original guitar or bass sound with FUZZ) and the farther you move the potentiometer to the right, the more you get the WET signal (the effect only), the original guitar sound will be attenuated and only the two octaves below with FUZZ will sound without DRY SIGNAL, so whenever you turn the FILTER switch it becomes one of the best and original sounds this pedal does, and …if the SAMPLE / HOLD switch is turned on too, makes PARLIAMENT one of the most insane, musical, original and vocal-like pedals ever produced. Yes, it performs better with the neck PICKUP and the more you play on the lower strings and also closer to 12th fret, it will have more accurate TRACKING.
