Description

The Vorp FX Beardface is a modified recreation of a rare Japanese pedal from 1977. It is an opamp-based hard clipping distortion circuit with a very pronounced character that is particularly rich in overtones. Unlike the pedal that inspired it, the Beardface offers both symmetrical silicon diode clipping and asymmetrical germanium/silicon diode clipping for two distinct distortion flavours (symmetrical clipping is the standard sound, asymmetrical clipping has different overtones and some extra fuzziness). This pedal excels when it comes to abrasive 1970s-style distortion, and it also works remarkably well with bowed instruments like electric violin or electric cello. Requires a 9V DC power supply.
