Description: A powerful yet compact pedalboard synth solution for Minimoog funk lines and sonic experimentation. Who needs another overdrive pedal, anyway? Fact: your guitar doesnt have to sound like atraditional clean or overdriven rock machine, and the gear industry is seemingly on a mission to remind us of this. The latest synth pedal to find its way through our door is the Space Rip from Pigtronix, which offers sawtooth and square wave synth sounds with a twist, thanks to its use of Pulse Width Modulation an analogue synthesis technique that, as its name suggests, modulates the pulse of the wave shape youre generating. But what does that sound like? Well, the word modulation is the clue here you get an evolving synth sound as the waves fade and blend into one another, producing a slight chorus-like effect. The Space Rip is controlled by rate, tune, mix and sub controls. The rate knob controls the speed of the modulation, with slowest speeds giving the most constant sound, while increasing it creates amore modulated, choppy effect. Tune changes the pitch of the Space Rips oscillators at 12 o clock its flat, and turning it anti-clockwise decreases the pitch; turning it clockwise increases it. Mix is a blend between your dry signal and the synth sounds, while sub brings inavoice an octave below your guitars signal. And additional shape control lets you switch the oscillator between sawtooth and square waves, while the octave button shifts the synth side of the pedal down by another octave. Experimentation is key, with thick synth bass, ripping gated fuzz-style riffs, and whining high-pitched leads all on offer. Due to its nature, we found the Space Rip to be a magnet for Minimoog funky lines, but theres a lot of room for processingthe sound after the factwith delays and a way for filtered synth sounds. Its a niche pedal, and a sturdy investment unless itll be making a regular appearance in your set, but if youre the type of player who wants less traditional types of sounds then theres a lot of fun to be had here!
