Iceberg Effects of Eindhoven has released the Frits, a stereo multi-modulation pedal, Delicious Audio reported on August 20, 2024, calling it "Their latest release, called Frits" and "a peculiar stereo, multi-modulation pedal"¹. The pedal is listed among multi-effects pedals.

Delicious Audio reports that the effect type is set by a central 3-way toggle offering Flanger, Chorus/Vibrato and Delay/Reverb, and that the pedal produces "flanging, chorus, vibrato, modulated slapback delay, faux reverb, and everything in between"¹. Rate, Depth and Mix knobs are fixed, while a Level B knob can control Rate, Depth or Feedback/Lag depending on the position of the toggle next to it, and a FDB/LAG knob sets feedback in the Flanger and Delay/Reverb modes and lag, or delay time, in Chorus/Vibrato¹.

The left and right channels are completely independent, providing stereo in and stereo out; with nothing plugged into the left input the pedal is set to mono in, stereo out². In Direct mode the channels can be enabled or disabled individually for a wet/dry setup, and the two channels can be linked in series². Delicious Audio describes two modes of operation: in Preset Mode the left footswitch triggers preset B, and in Direct Channel Selection Mode the left footswitch enables or disables the left channel and the right footswitch the right channel¹. Both footswitches can be set to Momentary mode so that, if held for more than half a second, they return to the other position when released¹.

Delicious Audio also reports that Iceberg pedals can be linked to each other via a 3.5mm audio cable in three ways: One-at-a-time, Always-on and Toggle¹. RockBoard's PedalPedia lists the circuit type as analog, voltage as 9V DC center negative and current draw as 125mA². No price or US availability was given in either report.
