Hungry Robot Pedals Wardenclyffe Mini. Lo-fi Ambient Modulator

Hungry Robot Pedals Wardenclyffe Mini

The Hungry Robot Pedals Wardenclyffe Mini is a lo-fi ambient modulator. It takes you back to the grainy lo-fi textured sound of yesterday’s audio recordings.

Like its bigger brother,  the Deluxe, it is based on the original Wardenclyffe pedal, inspired by Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower, which captures the essence of weird science. You can see a bit more about the Tesla Tower and some background on Hungry Robot pedals here.

What’s different between this and the deluxe?

The Mini is very similar to the original Wardenclyffe, with some improvements to clocking speed. But it doesn’t have some of the “bells and whistles” of the Deluxe such as

• Vinyl noise simulator, an old record player.
• Snake knob for  white noise
• The Campfire knob adds a spitty crackle effect.

Wardenclyffe Mini Controls:

DEPTH:

Controls the depth of the pitch-bending modulation.

SPEED:

Controls the speed of the pitch-bending modulation.

WET:

Controls the volume of the wet signal. At a full turn, this goes above unity gain.

DRY:

Controls the volume of the dry signal. At a full turn, this matches unity gain.

FILTER:

Blends between filtered signal and clean signal. Filters have a fixed cutoff frequency.

HP/LP:

Switches between High Pass Filter (UP) and Low Pass Filter (DOWN)

PAD:

Switches on a “below-the-mix” ambient reverb that sits just at the edge of infinite sustain.
