Description

Edit description

Discover the Empty Head Effects The External / Internal, a multi-effects pedal that seamlessly integrates chorus modulation with fuzz to create a unique sonic experience for guitarists. This pedal is a dream machine for those seeking the lush, ethereal tones of dream pop and shoegaze. With the intuitive Anxiety and Depth knobs, you can shape the modulation rate and depth, transitioning from serene, watery textures to more intense, shimmering waves. The Separation parameter controls delay time, ranging from minimal delay to pronounced slap-back effects, offering a versatile soundscape.

The External / Internal doesn’t stop there. It features a Self Mod toggle switch for envelope modulation, allowing the chorus to dynamically interact with your playing intensity. This interaction creates rich, evolving soundscapes that can shift from gentle to chaotic at your command. Engage the Green channel to unleash the fuzz, adding a dramatic gating effect that can turn your instrument into a sonic powerhouse. The Unquieting parameter lets you dial in the perfect amount of distortion, from subtle undertones to dense, earth-shattering fuzz.

Whether you're looking to craft delicate, melodic textures or unleash a storm of sound, The External / Internal is a versatile tool that responds to your musical instincts, offering a palette that ranges from the beautifully serene to the wonderfully wild.

Chorus and fuzz combination pedal
Dynamic envelope control over modulation
