At lower intensities it has a great muff-like sound but with a lot more character. At higher intensities, it becomes a disharmonic fuzz bliss that reminds many of the more scrambled fuzzes of old. People have compared the Soda Meiser's sound to that of the Smashing Pumpkins and Jeff Buckley. I find it to be the perfect pedal for adding layers of fuzz over synth and bass when recording in the studio or on tour.
The Soda Meiser was recently featured in the amazing DVD, The Art of the Stompbox, featuring Nels Cline and Henry Kaiser. Check out a clip of Nels Cline demonstrating the Soda Meiser in action!
controls
Volume knob : Controls the outbound gain of the fuzz circuit, and there is a lot of gain on tap. Use it loud to push an amp into overdrive or boost lead parts. Be careful though, it can get very loud on a clean amp!
Intensity knob : Controls the amount of forward signal going into the fuzz circuit. This control acts similarly to the sustain, or drive knob, on other dirt boxes, but with the most extreme setting sending the fuzz texture into a more scrambled, chaotic disarray.
The demo video at the top of this page features and older version of the Soda Meiser which had a chaos flip switch (the newer versions do not come with a chaos flip switch). If you enjoyed the sounds provided by the chaos flipswitch, you can now get that sound and more with the Noise Floor.
