Red Witch Introduces the Synthotron II Synth Pedal
Red Witch Pedals has unveiled the Synthotron II, a pedal featuring dual analog synth oscillators. Each of the oscillators has independent level, decay, and octave switching. Additionally, the pedal has an amplitude modulation section, an envelope filter, and a sample hold section.
The synth and filter sections are also independent and can be used separately or simultaneously via their footswitches. All of this combines to create some interesting sounds.
Check out the company’s demo video:
Although the demo is on guitar, Red Witch says it works well on bass. “It gets pretty wild and glitchy in synth mode, due to it being entirely analog,” they write. “The Envelope Filter sounds amazing on bass!”
The Red Witch Synthotron II is available now for $199.99.
