The HD-S effects pedal combines three different distortion circuits to create harmonic modulation that goes beyond the traditional concept of distortion.
This brand new effect unit was developed by Fumio Mieda, developer of many famous legendary units such as the Univibe. This new kind of effect unit differs from the usual "fuzz" or "distortion" pedal in many ways.
The HD-S allows you to freely combine the three different distortion circuits to produce a wide range of previously undiscovered sounds, from traditional fuzz to out-of-this-world distorted sounds and more. This wide range of traditional and brand new sounds means the HD-S can be used not only with guitars, but also with bass guitars, synthesizers and whenever new and unique sounds are required.
No other distortion pedal is like it, the HD-S offers a completely unique sonic experience you have to try for yourself because every user will come away with different sounds!
Combine the three different distortion circuits to control filter-like changes that go beyond aggressive distortion effects for a whole new world of sound. The HD-S includes three trimmer knobs inside the cabinet's top cover, in addition to the four control knobs on the panel. By using these trimmer knobs to adjust the balance between the three different distortion circuits, you can create a wide range of sounds from orthodox fuzz to a wide range of distortion all the way to some truly wild sounds. The HD-S can be used with guitar, bass, synths and other instruments and is a distortion effects unit that gives you sounds you've never heard or used before.
One of the many appealing features of the Nu:tekt series is that these products give you the chance to build the product yourself, and it's easy to do. The HD-S kit requires no soldering, and all the necessary tools for assembly are included in the package, for an easy-to-assemble kit that you can put together quickly and easily. A portrait sticker with a caricature motif of Fumio Mieda is also included.
Comments from Fumio Mieda:
As of 2022, it has been sixty years since the first compact effects unit, the Maestro Fuzz-Tone, was released. Even today, distortion-based effects including overdrive and distortion are the mainstay of guitar effects units, and the vast majority of these effects units simply recreate the sounds of the past. For this reason, we have developed a new form of distortion based on harmonic synthesis that covers both traditional and completely new sounds.
