A Malekko Charlie Foxtrott, but different?

Post by Zork »

I have a Malekko Charlie Foxtrott. I've had one before but sold it, got a second one and it's still... Let's say we a have a difficult relationship. I don't like how the stuttering can only be mixed in with the dry signal. I would like a pedal where I can just play and when I kick the footswitch it does the Charlie Foxtrott thing - random grain sampling and stuttering and pitch warbles - until I kick it off. No dry signal, just 100% madness. Is there something like that? Bonus points if it has a second footswitch to resample.

Late to the game here and I'm sure there are some differences compared to Malekko, but maybe Catalinbread CSIDMAN? I have one and it goes full wet.

CBA Onward may cover what you need?
It's the "issue" about these glitch pedals, more or less they all can sound similar, but each has its own workflow. I went thru many, and it can be pure love or pure hate.

Interesting, wonder what that will entail. I've gotten some of my favorite sounds from it, but have also been regularly thwarted by the many layers of functionality, which is sometimes fun when just exploring, less so when trying to do a thing or recreate a previous sound.

Having CF, 856, Particle 2 and Mandala, CF is kinda the happy medium of the lot for me. Mandala is raw and wild, 856 is dense and complex, Particle is many featured and polished. Particle is probably closest in some modes, so Tensor, as suggested above, being kinda those modes (plus more) broken out into their own box, is perhaps a good option?
