My Continuing Battle With The Queasy Feels is a stereo multi modulator from Discomfort Designs. Despite the chorus lane it sits in, it is not a one-trick pedal: as Pedal of the Day put it, "Need a flange? We can flange. Chorus? Can do. Vibrato and modulated delays in here too."1 Players looking at single-effect units may want to compare it with dedicated chorus, flanger, vibrato and delay pedals.
What it does
Controls
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Jitter toggle | Three-way toggle for none, "a little", or "a lot" of Jitter |
| Jitter | Creates movement for the other parameters, geared toward making unexpected things happen |
| Melt knob | Bends and deforms the modulating LFO for irregular wave shapes; at extreme settings skips cycles of the LFO altogether |
The Jitter system is the heart of the quasi-random modulation: it drives the other parameters and is aimed at producing results the player did not plan. The Melt knob works on the modulation source itself, reshaping the LFO into irregular waves and, pushed far enough, dropping entire cycles.1
Footswitches and hidden functions
Each footswitch has momentary functions: momentary on from a bypassed state, plus hidden ramping and ring modulation "while on" features.1
Versions
A Desktop version is also offered, with the same internals as the standard pedal but with pushbuttons instead of footswitches.1
