Perpetual Falsehood

Perpetual Falsehood is a combo tremolo and phase shifter pedal with a lot of tonal options. It uses vactrols and has flashy led's...that makes it cool without knowing anything else about it.

 

I used mine to create classic tremolo, to tremolo with an added wah type filter, and tonal options from choppy square wave, to smooth triangle wave with fast to uber slow sweeps. There's lots of fun on this one. 

 

Controls are;

OUTPUT - Overall output volume of the pedal

DEPTH-T - Tremolo depth

RATE-T - Tremolo speed

SHAPE - Toggle to change from triangle to square wave for the

LFOTONE - Toggle that changes the tone of the filter (3 options)

FILTER - Toggle to turn the filter circuit on and off

SQ/Tri - Toggle switch which adjust the shape of the wave.

 

One thing to note is that the design of the circuit uses pots that act as cut's rather than increasing the value. In otherwords it seems like they work backwards and go from full to 0. Counterintuitive, but thats correct.

 

Our kit includes my DIY friendly PCB design, with larger solder pads, and a spacious layout therefore giving you the best chance of a successful build from any kit supplier on the scene. Couple that with the in depth build guides and our Facebook support group, then you can see why we are ahead of the game.

 

This one fits inside one of our excellent JP1590BB enclosures and features the ability to use right angled pots to ensure a neat presentation. Pre drilled kits will come with top mounted jacks and power.

 

This kit is at the intermediate level.  It has expensive parts to make it work and should be considered a challenge.  Speaking of expensive parts, those vactrols are hard to source but very much needed here. You could try rolling your own LED/LDR combo, but take my word for it... you're peeing into the wind!

Pre Built Kits have a 1 to 4 week build time.
