December 13, 2024 · 2 sources

MWFX, the Somerset, UK builder of niche guitar effects, announced last orders for its Judder pedal on Friday 13 December, with nine units left, according to a post on the maker's site¹. The same post says a free expression remote is included with the last few¹.

The Judder is described by MWFX as "a mid-fi looper that switches between record and playback neatly to create choppy and instantly renewable loops on the fly"². The maker says its analog setup of switches and controls lets normal sounds become "modulated and surreal," and that it can also be set up as a normal echo or delay². The pedal's main effect is a sample and loop function, with an LFO and envelope detector included to trigger and modulate it².

The controls, as listed by MWFX²:

MWFX lists the Judder at $358 and out of stock, with dimensions of 94 x 120 x 54mm and a weight of 1 kg². The page gives a loop range of 27ms to 300ms, 9v DC power at 35mA, a PT2399 echo device, input impedance of 330k Ω and output impedance of 100 Ω². The expression pedal input controls the central knob and accepts third-party PT2399 tap tempo boxes, CV and 22/25k expression pedals².

The maker's own wording on the close of the run:

MWFX describes itself as designing and manufacturing niche guitar effects using stomp-box style electronics, operating from a workshop and online shop in Somerset and assembling nearly every part of the pedals in house¹. The maker says it began on Facebook in 2008 and that music design graduate Matt Warren created earlier pedals including the PWM, 8Bit, Bitrate, Tape Saturator, Wave Machine, Glitch and Hard Sync, and in recent years has concentrated on producing the Judder¹.
