The MiniMorph™ features TWA’s® proprietary S3™ “Shortest Send Switching™” - a form of relay-based True Bypass switching that provides the most transparent bypass sound available. However, since these distortion events are non-linear in nature, there is also subtraction, which yields further tonal filtering and changes to the waveform output. This primordial harmonic soup is then passed along to an op-amp that sums it all. The more level that the diodes are hit with, the more non-linear and wackier (technical term) things will get. The resultant waveform is a combination of many, including sine, triangle, square, and interactions of all of these. In front of this diode array sit two high-gain preamps set in series – the output levels of these pre’s are controlled by the Drive and Gain controls accordingly.Īs the diodes are hit with increasing signal level from the preamps, they bias either positive or negative, or not at all. If things are getting too out of control, a Dry Blend control allows you to add in some clean signal to bring back low-end note definition and articulation.Īll of these tonal transformations can be further adjusted via the side-accessed Mode switch that selects between two different overall EQ settings for the MM.įinally, a master Level control determines overall output of the pedal.Īt the heart of the MM-01 MiniMorph™ circuit is a string of full-wave rectifiers. Turning up the Gain makes the Drive hit harder (a lot harder), resulting in extreme compression and more complex, thick harmonics with massive sustain.ĭigging in hard with higher Drive & Gain settings will bury your notes under a torrent of waveforms battling for evolutional supremacy – the victor finally blossoming into a screaming, searing siren-song. Playing double stops and chords will generate bizarre intermodulation effects that border on ring modulation but with less dissonance. Increased Drive settings create higher order harmonics that subsequently drop in pitch as the note decays (think swept resonant filter). Tight chirps, greasy gurgles, & long, yawning sweeps are all available by simply varying your picking attack.Ī light touch with low Drive settings can yield sagging, fuzzy burps that reside somewhere between a “starved voltage” fuzz and a dirty Moog filter. We took the original DynaMorph® circuit & stripped out the envelope-controlled level section to create a pint-sized powerhouse that’s simple to use yet can still conjure cascades of cacophonous creativity.ĭepending on control settings and playing technique, the MiniMorph™ can expel an almost unlimited variety of filthy, flittering filter effects that will add depth and dimension to your notes. Multi-layered, highly complex waveforms meet & morph to create sizzling, splatter-full effects bordering on the bizarre. The larval offspring of our mind-melting DynaMorph®, the MM-01 MiniMorph™ features an envelope-dependent drive circuit where the amount and type of saturation is intricately & inextricably linked to the input signal level.
