October 9, 2026 · 3 sources

Pladask Elektrisk released the STEREO FRIKSJON on October 9 at 10:00pm (22:00) CET, priced at 275.00 USD¹. The maker says orders ship starting October 14¹. Both the black and gold faceplate versions are listed as out of stock²¹³.

The pedal is listed under the category Distortion / Degradation². Pladask describes it as exploring "unconventional distortion and signal degradation," originally intended as a tabletop texture generator for soundscaping². The maker says some effects may suit guitar work while others suit more complex sound sources, and that it covers "complete signal destruction" through "the lightest possible touch of non-linearity"². The product page includes audio samples labeled wave sampler with reverb on guitar, texture on guitar, frequency modulation on guitar and phase distortion on guitar².

The maker states the pedal does not support battery operation or Strymon brand power supplies². Purchases were limited to one unit per customer regardless of faceplate color¹. Pladask notes that the gold (ENIG) faceplates "smudge and scratch quite easily," and that minor surface imperfections will not be treated as B-stock².

The release drew an apology from the maker for website problems:

The maker says more information on the restock will come through its newsletter².
