Mixing different kinds of effects together usually pays off pretty damn well, and today’s pedal keeps that fine tradition going strong. The Humanoid Pedals Psychosis Tremolo Overdrive combines two of our favorites into one wild enclosure, complete with nutty graphics and thick, heavy driven and modulated sounds. This isn’t a light one, folks, so buckle up and let’s see what its all about…
The Psychosis is the result of wanting a Tweed-sounding overdrive with tremolo built in! This is accomplished with hand selected JFET Transistors and a Tremolo is added in last gain stage similar to ones used in the famous Heart Throb and EA circuits. There is a slight volume decrease expected when blending in the tremolo so use master volume knob wisely. Set the tremolo and leave it for sweet overdrive and swell combined, or use the drive by speed and depth knobs down fully.
The Overdrive has standard controls for output level, gain and tone. Very sweet and warm tweed voiced overdrive that has grit with note clarity and very dynamic as a response to your playing style. At the lowest setting there will still be some dirt, so this is a great pedal for having a boost afterward. The Tremolo is always on as indicated by the speed of the right LED blinking status, even when the effect is not engaged! This is adjusted by the Speed knob, while the Depth knob adjusts the intensity. For no tremolo effects blended in with the dry signal, turn both bottom knobs all the way left.
Again, the combination of tremolo and overdrive found here in the Humanoid Pedals Psychosis is just wonderful. Complete with a white powder coated aluminum enclosure, Yellow LED status indicators, top mounted jacks and true bypass switching, this is a tough effect that will be welcomed on many pedalboards.
