Acorn Amps Unveils the ADHD Filter Synth Fuzz Pedal
Acorn Amps has unveiled the ADHD, a pedal they say defies categorization. ADHD is an acronym for Adaptive Droning Hyperfuzz Device, and Acorn says the pedal is a “glitch, filter, bit crushing, octave, square wave guitar synth oscillator disguised as a fuzz pedal.” Its circuitry includes an adjustable square wave and a fuzz circuit for interactive tones on bass or guitars.
“8-bit vintage videogame tones become searing octave leads with the turn of the five control knobs on board the ADHD, and the synth noise oscillator can be controlled using an external expression pedal or tuned by hand with the Frequency knob,” they write. “The Acorn ADHD is assembled using a voltage-controlled timer that blends with the gain control of an LM386 amplifier IC chip to produce interactive and layered bit crushed octave-up-and-down fuzz tones that can be sculpted even further along the frequency bandwidth with the tone/filter control.”
Other features include True Bypass and standard 9V DC pedal power. The Acorn Amps ADHD is available now for $149.
