Vitruvian Mod

The Vitruvian Mod by Subdecay is a ring modulator pedal designed with pitch detection capabilities and advanced functionality. It offers the following technical specifications and features:

- Ring Modulation with Pitch Detection: The Vitruvian Mod is equipped with pitch detection, allowing users to tune it to add harmonic tones. It offers the ability to offset the carrier from the input based on harmonic ratios, creating interesting harmonic structures.

- Fixed Carrier Modulation: The pedal features seven fixed steps for the carrier knob when the entropy switch is set to order, tuned to E A D G B E A, making it ideal for guitar use. Additionally, it provides an eight-octave range when the entropy switch is set to chaos.

- Control Matrix: The Vitruvian Mod includes various controls such as the entropy switch for ease of use, tracking switch for different tracking modes, carrier knob for controlling the internal carrier, fine-tune knob for adjusting the carrier, mix knob for adjusting the amount of ring modulation, and volume control for overall output.

- Use Cases: It is recommended to use the Vitruvian Mod early in the signal chain, followed by overdrives and fuzz pedals to bring out the effect's harmonic structure. Adding a wah pedal or filter after the Vitruvian Mod can create synthesizer-like effects, and using a compressor in front of the pedal will add sustain.

- Technical Specifications: The pedal is powered by a regulated 9VDC to 18VDC adaptor with a negative center 2.1mm barrel style plug. It has a current draw of less than 100mA and features a die-cast metal enclosure for durability. The input impedance is 500K, and the output impedance is approximately 5K. The Vitruvian Mod is hand-made in Oregon and comes with a three-year limited warranty.

The Vitruvian Mod is designed to offer a versatile and intuitive ring modulation experience, making it suitable for a wide range of musical applications and creative sound manipulation.
