The Rise/OverRun from Mid-Fi Electronics is a fuzz and filter pedal with pitch-tracking modulation1. The maker describes the signal path in two stages: "First your signal is fuzzed up, then split into parallel low pass, and band pass filters." The frequency of the band pass filter is then modulated by a staircase shaped waveform, whose speed is controlled by the predominant frequency of the input signal1. In practice, that means the modulation follows your playing: "Lower notes are slower, higher notes are faster"1.
It sits in the fuzz lane alongside other Mid-Fi designs such as the Demo Tape Fuzz, the Peace Gun Fuzz and the Another/An-other (Fuzz Version), and its moving band pass filter also gives it common ground with filter pedals1.
Controls
The pedal has three controls, described by the maker as follows1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Division | Over all speed range of modulation |
| Bandwidth | Flavor/intensity of filtering |
| Volume | Output level |
Division sets the overall speed range of the pitch-tracking modulation, so it shapes how quickly the filter sweeps across your playing dynamics. Bandwidth sets the character and intensity of the filtering, and Volume sets the output level1.
Bypass and switching
The pedal uses a soft switch with relay based true bypass, according to the maker's product page1.
