Cosmodio Instruments Splinter Twin

Splinter Twin is your sonic familiar. It clones your signal, alters that clone in time, pitch, texture, phase and feedback, and then re-combines the altered clone with your original signal to create something altogether new. Functionally, Splinter Twin is a time modulation workstation. A sandbox that lets you manipulate delay lines in highly flexible, extremely precise, and sometimes unusual ways. Time modulation and short delay lines are the basic building blocks of many widely used and timeless effects: phase offset, flanger, chorus, vibrato, doubling and of course, echo/delay. Splinter Twin achieves all of these and more. But it is not a multi-effect. Rather, it lets you modelessly move within, around and between these iconic sounds, and then invites you to push beyond them to discover many more exotic, hybrid, novel and experimental effects. Through-zero phase cancellation, randomized poly-chorus ensembles, glissando warbling self-oscillation, stochastic time jumps and pitched resonators are all among the endless possibilities. Splinter Twin’s hybrid architecture allows it to wield both extraordinary power and a rich musical character. It delays your signal a maximum of 340ms and a minimum of 0ms, fluidly traversing the entire spectrum of time based effects. As you shorten the delay time, it moves seamlessly from spacious echoes, through the shifting territory of phase and comb textures, all the way down to absolute zero—an instantaneous double—locked in perfect alignment with your dry signal. Very few pedals reach this point, and fewer still with this kind of smooth, musical continuity. Add in creative modulation options and performative feedback controls, and you have a staggering range of sonic possibilities. Its all-analog preamp, feedback paths, tone shaping, and mixing circuits keep every sound—whether pristine, saturated, bright, or dark—rooted in unmistakable analog soul. Splinter Twin’s boundaries are so broad and the controls are so responsive that you will certainly find sounds that neither you, nor us, nor anyone else in this dimension has ever heard before. Key Features: TIME controls total delay time with a range that encompasses flanger, chorus, vibrato, doubling, slapback, and echo effects. MOD SPEED, MOD DEPTH, and MOD SHAPE allow powerful modulation of the delay line for sounds that range from beloved and iconic to bizarre and experimental. An all analog PREAMP adjusts input gain. Push it to get a little (or a lot of) dirt. Or turn it down for pristine headroom on any input source, including line level signals. FEEDBACK knob controls repeats and resonance, ranging from subtle to deep all the way to aggressive self-oscillation. The 2x FDBCK smart-switching foot switch allows on the fly performative adjustments to the FEEDBACK level. User selectable all-analog dry signal or micro-delayed dry signal for exotic thru-zero effects. True-bypass w/ relay based “smart” switching with intuitive latching and momentary switching capabilities Stunning faceplate artwork by GOLDSUIT Housed in a standard 1590BB enclosure, measuring 3.7"x4.7" Top-mounted input/output/power jacks for a pedalboard-friendly footprint Requires a standard 9-volt center-negative “boss style” power supply with a minimum of 200mA. Every pedal is lovingly handmade in Massachusetts, USA
