Copilot Fx Brainzilla dual tap tempo lfo with sequencer pedal

Brainzilla this a dual independent tap tempo LFO with a step sequencer. The sequencer can be assigned to sync/change both LFO rates or tap ratios (sync toggles) or not (each one has its own speed/ratio knob). CV output for the sequencer (to control other devices) and CV jacks for LFO A and LFO B.

Toggle for sequence length (3, 4 or 5 steps) and trigger toggle to set if the sequence is always running or it is manually triggered via the middle footswitch, 3 dual color LEDs indicates which step is currently active. Reset footswitch to restart the sequence to step 1 and the middle footswitch also doubles to pause the sequence when the trigger toggle is in auto-advancing mode, CV input sync jack to sync the tap tempo to an external beat or you can tap twice the footswitch to assign the new rate.

 

Copilot Fx Arrow Airwaves Supreme white noise generator with custom Artwork

Arrow Airwaves supreme with custom twin peaks artwork (by request). The arrow airwaves supreme is an expanded arrow airwaves it has an lfo that modulates the volume of the white noise section and the dry section (so you can create a fade in/out of both signals), a tremolo white noise or lo-fi tremolo of your signal, also it has a bandpass filter to process the white noise (to get the wind type sounds), the lfo is tap tempo and the extra footswitch allows to turn on/off, the bandpass can also be controlled via expression pedal.

Copilot Fx Portal Blend Mixer Fx loop pedal with expression cv input

Copilot Fx Portal is a mixer / blender pedal / fx loop, giving the user the option to mix / blend the signal inside the loop (send / return jacks on top) with the signal coming in (dry), both signal paths have Their respective volume knobs (vol for the dry and loop for the fx loop), the range knob controls the amount of mix, at 0 (7:00) only the dry will be present, increasing the knob clockwise will start adding more signal from the loop until it gets full wet.

The range can also be controlled via a TRS expression pedal (it won’t matter the pot value) or 0-5v CV signals, adding functionality and range to other pedals and sonic possibilities.

The 2 right toggles, allows syncing the dry and/or loop to the range knob/exp. The options are as follows.

  • Dry toggle down / Loop toggle down: both signals will be in parallel and won’t react to the changes of the range knob/exp.
  • Dry toggle up/ Loop toggle down: only the dry signal will react to the changes of the range knob/exp, while the loop signal will be intact.
  • Dry toggle down / Loop toggle up: only the loop signal will react to the changes of the range knob/exp, while the dry signal will be intact.
  • Dry toggle up / Loop toggle up: both signals will react to the changes of the range knob/exp, allowing to fade in/out the signals.

The left toggle is to change the phase polarity of the loop signal

The volume in the fx loop is post loop, so it won’t clip/saturate the units inside. You can also only connect to the return jack on the loop, in case you want to mix/add radio signals, samplers, noise/bleep boxes / other instruments or want to add the unused stereo jacks on some pedals.

 

Custom Copilot Fx Kinkilin Delay with CV controls

This Kinkilin has EXP/CV control jacks for delay time, feedback, noise, rate, modulation amount and mix, the extra toggles are to assign both the dry and delay voice to the mix cv. In the video demo of it, the ehx 8 steps is feeding a bandwidth that is controlling the feedback and the delay time, while a broadcast is into the mix cv jack. All the cv inputs are independent so you can use only one at a given time, 2 or 3, all of them or none.

Copilot Fx Polypus Supreme

Polypus supreme is a tremolo pedal with a sequencer to control the rate or tap ratios, it features an all analog signal path and a tap tempo multi wave LFO. The sequencer has 5 steps (like having 5 rate/ratios presets), and the length can be set to 3, 4 or 5 steps via a toggle, the sequence rate is set by the rate of your tap, there are 2 modes of operations: Triggered mode, the sequencer advance to the next step every time you press the trigger footswitch (middle footswitch) or auto mode, where the sequence is always running. The LFO rate can be tap tempo or rate (like traditional speed knobs).

Features:

  • LFO and Sequencer CV outs to sync other devices (you can use both in bypass).
  • Reset toggle, allows resetting the sequence to step 1 when you are in bypass (to start always from step 1) or not (in case you want to use lfo and sequencer with other devices while in bypass).
  • 3/4/5 sequence length.
  • Hi and Lo eq knobs.

Copilot FX Broadcast triple independent out LFO pedal

Another variation of the Broadcast, this one has 3 independent outputs (2 TRS expression outs and 1 CV out, each one has its own range knob), it also comes with Expression/CV input to control the rate/ratio or manually sweep the outs, invert toggle to have the 2 exp out be synced or unsynced. The extra footswitch changes the output from lfo to the exp/cv in for the 2 expression outs, while the cv out has a toggle.

Custom Trek 10 knobber, pulse width fuzz and oscillation machine pedal

copilot fx trek pwm fuzz custom ped

This one was a request by a member of ilovefuzz, it is a super TREK, I like it so much i built 4, if you are interested email me $130 for the trek alone or $180 for the trek/broadcast combo (note that both the trek and broadcast are blems, they both have some slight scratches and were used).

The 10 knobber Trek, it has a dual parallel sound, side A is a hot overdrive/distortion signal so you can add balance/clarity to the overall signal, while side B is a pulse width fuzz, you can mix and match both sides to taste. The pulse width is similar to an square wave fuzz sound, but you can shape the on/off time of the wave via the range knobs, there are 2 range knobs which are linked to the second footswitch, so you can go from 2 sounds on the fly, it also has the gate and tone knob. The second footswitch also allows to activate the oscillation, in this version there is a OSC knob to fine tune the pitch, a 4 way rotary switch (the knob on the side) to turn off the oscillation or using 3 positions to fine tune the osc range (from high pitches to low tumbling pulses), 2 extra toggles one to add modulation to the osc and other to affect it’s tone. The knob on the top is to cut the fuzz signal to recreate some tremfuzz action. The second range knob also sets the amount of modulation to recreate the PWM tones. Expression/CV jack to add the modulation to the pedal.

Copilot Fx Arrow Airwaves Supreme White Noise Genarator Pedal and more

IMG_0020

The Arrow Airwaves Supreme, has 2 independent white noise voices, a tap tempo LFO and preamp.  The White Noise Generator (WNG) can be triggered / activated by the input signal, so there is white noise when you play, only when you don’t play or is always running no matter if you play or not. The dual independent voices allows for some rad mixes, one voice is processed by a bandpass filter, while the other is unprocessed. You can mix your instrument input via the preamp. The LFO modulates the volume of the preamp so you can get some lofi tremolo, modulates the filter cutoff for some waves crashing / wind blowing and the volume of main WNG voice.
