Malekko Heavy Industry Corporation is the creation of former Ministry bassist and producer Paul Barker synth junkie Josh Holley—a tandem that knows heavy and weird. One of the latest pedals to come out of the Malekko sonic laboratory in Portland, Oregon, is the Diabolik. It’s a signature pedal that was designed in conjunction with Justin Meldal-Johnsen—long-time bassist for Beck, and, like the creative element at Malekko, a funky tone enthusiast. Meldal-Johnsen wanted to build on the tonal advantages of another Malekko pedal but reduce the footprint size and simplify the control layout. Here, we find out if he got what he wanted.

Ok, let’s #gothtalk. Just acquired another beauty in the incredible Pearl effects series (oops secrets out), which is their Flanger, i think one of the more special flangers I’ve heard. Goes into ring mod and vibrato territories. Flange is the least used effect for me, but of course I want to put a beatbox through this. Then you can hear my reverse color and standard Clone Theories. Reverse one has more top end and output, other one is slightly more mid forward, but more “relaxed”. V similar tho. Ok, carry on. #pearleffectors #flanger #clonetheory #ehx
