"If you are looking at this, you already know what it is"

”If you see me at the urinal, don’t make eye contact.”

[raj007]

From my experience, this phrase is reserved for flip-bait pedals (Pladask, Cooper...).

I always picture a Kyle, in his black and green Monster Energy Drink logo’d clothes, leaning against a Ford 150, sideways hat, white-rimmed sunglasses (rainbow tint)...”YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS, BITCH!”

[$harkToootth]

I always picture a Kyle...

STEP THE FUCK UP KYLE!

[Blackened Soul]

Another angle, when not in the pedal world this can also actual mean "I don't actually know what this actually is but I want to sound like I do"

Also. Who the fuck is this Kyle?

Very very rare, near impossible to find.

Last two posted on reverb sold for $475 and $510 respectively. Both sold within a day of being posted.

The digital water – in the opinions of many, is the crown jewel of Seppuku pedals and one of the coolest pedals ever made. It has the nicest cascading watery delay tones of any delay that I have ever found, and I have tried over 100 delays - this one is truly unique, and very musical super useable.

It can do several particular watery delay tones that no other pedal on earth can achieve - cascading waterfall, the watery sound of a running stream or Brook, bubbles, uneven wave tides, liquify gitches, reverse water delay, watery pitch modulated delay, wet lo-if echo, and other unique aquatic sound effects that take you far into into the ocean’s depths...

On top of all of that, there is even more in the modulation department. It does the super appealing “random modulation” that is so desirable among delay pedal connoisseurs and is very pleasing to the ears - the random modulation has no regular LFO pattern but an unpredictable, natural sounding randomness to it. Completely unique. Raw and organic.

It can also do normal sinewave/normal sounding modulation like every single other boring modulated delay for when you want that. It does sound good enough in its normal settings to replace your analog delay if you so desire. I always have like five delays on my board personally, but this one is always on the random watery modulation mode. The random modulation is totally able to be tamed. VERY musical. Can be subtle or extreme. Sounds so cool and people are really pleased to hear it’s tone - a sound they’ve never heard before.

The pedal can also be set to go all out crazy, which somehow manages to stay musical and useful with actual music, not just a noisemaker.

The random modulation is just ONE of the many sounds this pedal can do besides the watery sounds, but even this random modulation feature is so rare in delay pedals that the only pedal that I know of that can do random modulation is the Pladask Täken. Taken sells for around $400-$425 used because it’s sound is so unique, yet this pedal can do so much more than the Täken, and the random modulation is much much different on this pedal.

Honestly, it isn’t even the coolest setting on the Seppuku.

There were quite a few iterations of this pedal from Seppuku, some had one knob, some had one knob and an LED, some had two knobs and an LED, and some had two knobs and a switch. The one with the two knobs and a switch is the most sophisticated, final iteration of the pedal and few were built.

This version is the only one that allows you to switch the watery delay / random modulation / glitch effects on or off. In the off position, it does a whole array of tones from reverse delay, to delay with normal modulation, to digital, analog, ping pong, pan, tape, and hold (looper). The watery delay / random modulation / glitch effect can be switched on to work with ANY of those modes (except the looper). So you can have reverse watery random modulation delay!

Sounds great with all of of the modes, but is particularly interesting with the reverse delay and tape delays as well as the mod delay.

The knobs allow you to fine-tune the modulation and get just the sound do you want. They give a variety of interesting tones across a sweep of knob turning mystery, including those unique aquatic sound effects that can’t be achieved with any other pedal, as well as things that happen like uneven delays, gitches, white noise and bit reduction.

Seppuku stopped making this pedal years ago, and the owner has publicly stated that he won’t make any pedals at all anymore. Even the Seppuku website is now shut down for good, only to become a legend, a remnant of the past.

Easily one of the coolest delay pedals ever – right up there with the the Montreal Assembly 856 For Zellersasn (technically a looper, but has ridiculous delay settings, and another favorite of delay connoisseurs).

Very small numbering these Digital Waters in existence. Very rarely come up for
sale, so I'm sure it will sell quickly.

This also can be used as a straight up chorus, or even a looper pedal with a small footprint - very versatile. The mod can obviously be switched off to just use normal delay sounds and it actually sounds great as a normal delay (much to my surprise). Many call it a Line 6 DL4 in a small enclosure. That’s a pretty legendary pedal to be compared to. Yet, obviously the DL4 doesn’t have the watery modulation and random modulation.

The reverse delay has endless interesting musical applications. If you don’t have a reverse delay - you need one. They are so inspiring and creativity inducing.

The YouTube video by ‘ugly cassanova’ called “similar
but different #1: Data Error & Seppuku Digital Water” is
unfortunately the best one on the internet, and shows just a tiny tiny bit of what this pedal can do, and shows you some of the watery delay tones and some random modulation delay tones that you can get out of it, but it’s really only the tip of the iceberg.

I also have an Audio Disruption Devices Data Error pedal that I got years ago while he was still making them and I am willing to sell one if you are looking for one of those instead.

I have been a collector of delays ranging from the 80's to now, and have owned somewhere around 120 different delays, ranging
all the way up to the most expensive, but specifically focusing on the most unique experimental pedals that make sounds no other pedal can make. This, I have to say, is completely unique in what it can do, and especially in how useful and musical is is. 100% unlike any other pedal out there.

I tried everything to get these sounds out of other delays that had the most promise in coaxing these tones from. I wanted a watery delay AND a random modulation delay pedal, but seriously struggled for years not finding anything. Only the seppuku could do it.

After a ton of time and effort, I realized that my favorite delay tones can’t be duplicated by anything else out there, even with the use of delay effects loops and combinations of pedals etc. I tried EVERYTHING.

Stereo in and outs, great for Wet/Dry or W/D/W setups.

Preset modes:
reverse delay
dark analog
bright digital
pitch modulation
stereo panning
ping pongs
tape
looper

I always visualise someone peaking over their shades when I read that.

lol

Do you think it persuaded someone who has never heard of Seppuku to drop 500 bucks on a circuit bent 50 dollar pedal though?

[Chankgeez]

As $ha. & UC have noted, that's a little long winded to be an effective sales pitch.

So, no.

Probably a waste of time & effort. That pedal was gonna sell anyway.

[Blackened Soul]

Also. Who the fuck is this Kyle?

KYLE NEEDS TO STEP THE FUCK UP!

Oh... It's a vine thing? We don't do vine things

[$harkToootth]

”If you’re posting you don’t do vine things, then you know what this is.”

If you’re reading this, then you can read.
If you know what this is, then you know what this is.
If you see me in the Porta Potty, then c’mon in.

[$harkToootth]

This thread really triggered something in me.
Kyle is still a prick and needs to STEP - THE - FUCK - UP!

[$harkToootth]

A lot of effort is going into these.

[Blackened Soul]

[D.o.S.]

It's easier than explaining what the pedal does?

[$harkToootth]

@Blackened Soul -My brother and I don't have a lot in common... but we quote that movie to each other all the time.
