Red Witch has announced the FALCOR, a limited edition modulator built as a run of 60 pedals, each with its own artwork and its own iteration of the circuit, priced at 599 USD¹. The maker's product page lists the pedal as sold out¹.

The FALCOR is a chorus pedal with four controls. Velocity sets the rate of the modulation pulse, which the maker says ranges from very slow to very fast. Depth sets the depth of the modulation. Mix blends wet and dry signal. Resonance sends some of the modulated signal back into the input stage, which the maker says allows sounds beyond standard chorusing, reaching into flanging and almost ring modulation¹. A footswitch provides true bypass switching and an LED pulses in time with the modulation¹.

Each pedal is 100 percent analog and uses a N.O.S. MN3007 bucket brigade chip, according to Red Witch. The maker states that each unit has a unique blend of components, giving each pedal its own internal modulation delay time, tonal response and overall flavor¹. The maker also states the pedal sounds good on guitar and bass¹.

Red Witch says each pedal is crafted by hand by Ben Fulton at his home workshop, and each is signed by him and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a lifetime warranty on the entire pedal¹. The artwork draws on images from a life, which Fulton describes in the product text: "I've taken images from his life and turned them into the pedal artwork you see in the Falcor pedal."¹
