Mythos Pedals launches The Fates, its first modulation pedal
September 1, 2023 · 3 sources
Mythos Pedals launched The Fates, its first modulation pedal, on September 1, 2023, MusicRadar reported1. The pedal is an analog bucket-brigade chorus with a vibrato mode, built around the MN3207 chip213.
The Fates has two controls, Rate and Depth, and a toggle switch for Chorus and Vibrato modes1. MusicRadar describes Rate as controlling the speed of the LFO and Depth as setting how wide and pronounced the modulation is1. In Vibrato mode the pedal removes the clean signal, and Mythos says it adjusted the circuit so the Depth control does not produce extreme warble213. Mythos describes the range of both modes as running "the gamut of swirly shimmer to rotary speaker like vibes"213.
The pedal has a JFET buffered bypass input stage, which Mythos says lowers noise and pushes the signal for what it calls a "sweet output bump and EQ voicing"13. An LED on the face flashes in time with the Rate setting13. It runs on 9V DC, center negative21.
"This Analog Chorus is not for those who want presets, infinite controls, and other modern feature sets. The Fates is for the player who wants to plug in and enjoy the simplicity of iconic Chorus tones with ease."
