KANGRA

(a lter & fuzz effect pedal)

Designed alongside SNL Guitarist and fuzz fanatic, Jared Scharff, the

Kangra is a modern lter and fuzz inspired by his favorite vintage fuzz pedal, the Kay Fuzz Tone. The Kangra Filter Fuzz is a true bypass, two-in-

one pedal that provides a thick and spatty octave fuzz, and a psychedelic

lter thats great for sweeps, frequency boost or even envelope lter sounds. The lter can run independently, or with the fuzz feeding into it. This is no rhythm player’s fuzz. Dig in and play dirty with aggressive fuzz

lead lines that’ll rip time and space apart at the seams.

FILTER CONTROLS

SENS - Adjusts the sensitivity of the envelope applied to the ﬁlter cutoff. Set lower for minimal cutoff frequency movement, and higher to really open the ﬁlter wide when playing hard.

RES - Controls the resonance of the 2-pole low-pass ﬁlter circuit. Low settings offer a smoother more bell like tone, and higher settings yield a more pointed aggressive ﬁlter sweep.

ENV SWITCH - Engages the envelop applied to the ﬁlter cutof f frequency (right), and disengages it (lef t). The envelope is driven by how hard you play, opening the ﬁlter wider with a hard attack and less with a softer attack.

FREQ - Sets the ﬁlter cutoff frequency of the ﬁlter circuit. Use this control to shape the fuzz signal, and/or signals from other pedals in your chain to create unique ﬁltered tones. This knob used in conjunction with the resonance control can produce many unique ﬁltered tones.

FUZZ CONTROLS

VOL - Controls the overall output volume of the pedal. Depending on how the pedal is dialed in, where the switches are set and what effects are on etc., you will need to adjust the output volume to match unit y gain.

MID SWITCH - This toggle changes the midrange contour of the fuzz circuit from heavily scooped (left), to a ﬂatter mid response (right).

M/V SWITCH - The M/V toggle switch lets you choose between a more modern feel (lef t) and a more vintage fee ling fuzz (right). The modern p osition is a smooth and more forgiving sound with longer, tighter sustain. The vintage position feels starved, and offers chunky breakup for a more course sustaining grit.

BYPASS STOMP SWITCHES - The ﬁlter switch engages the ﬁlter circuit, and the fuzz switch engages the fuzz circuit. When running both circuits at the same time, the fuzz circuit feeds into the ﬁlter circuit.

EXPRESSION JACK - Plug an expression pedal in to the expression jack to override the ﬁlter cutoff frequency pot and control it with your foot. At higher resonance settings, this allows you to “talk ” the ﬁlter similar to playing a guitar through a wah pedal.
