FIDELEATER V1 Lo-Fi CHorus

In very good condition.

The FIDELEATER is a lo-fi chorus/vibrato/delay pedal used for the treatment of Bland Guitar Syndrome and Excessive Aural Dryness. When used regularly, it can provide effective relief from these and other music- and instrumentation-related conditions.

All Intensive Care Audio pedals are built in London, England, using high-quality components and featuring soft-touch, relay-based true bypass. There are two soft-touch footswitches: the left is BYPASS, and the right is TAP TEMPO.

FIDELEATER features 6 controls, offering a wide range of available remedies:

• WAVE FUNCTION – An 8-position rotary switch lets you select one of 8 available LFO waveforms:
  Random Slopes, Random Steps, Steps, Sine, Step Up/Slope Down, Square, Ramp Down, Ramp Up

• DEPTH – Sets the depth of the LFO. In certain settings, placing the control above 12 o’clock can cause serious glitching — this is normal, and you should continue with the course of treatment.

• FREQ – Sets the frequency (speed) of the LFO. The speed and waveform are indicated by the LED beneath the FREQ control.

• DRY/WET – Sets the amount of dry signal mixed in.

  • Fully counter-clockwise = chorus

  • As you turn clockwise, the dry signal is gradually removed, leaving only the modulated signal — producing a vibrato effect.

• CONTRACT – Opens or closes a feedback path within the delay circuit. When open, the repeats create a luscious warbling texture.

• UNTIE – Extends the delay time, shifting the pedal’s behaviour from chorus into more delay-like territory. This intensifies modulation and unlocks a world of glitchy digital weirdness.
