After the wild fuzzy, distorted awesomeness of the Warlow Fuzz Monstrosity from JPTR FX last month, we couldn’t wait to dive into another one of their fantastic creations. Today, we’re stoked to check out the Fernweh Multi Echo Module today, a powerful delay with a ton of knobs, features and sounds to experiment with for years and years. This one also features a secret weapon that will really open up the way you approach music…seriously.
In today’s arena of delay effects, the longing for a far-traveling, expansive sound and the thrill of uncharted spaces dictate the game. The Fernweh Multi Echo Module is the time-bending answer from JPTR FX to exactly those needs, seeing multiple switchable delays move you and your sound from your quaint earthly realms and into the sonic unknown. This expansive delay is more than a temporal effects pedal: it is a trampoline between the unsophisticated and habitual, or the wondrous and the uncommon.
Fernweh’s fast response and dynamic range make it a perfect live tool for haunting sceneries and frenetic solos. The Fernweh (wanderlust in German) is, without a doubt, a delay pedal that wants to take you places, operating as two stacked delays that can be controlled separately, to cover your sound in a soft, atmospheric haze. This unique design allows the player to configure different time settings between the two echoes, which can often result in elaborate rhythmic patterns or reverberating textures, followed by a lush trail.
This pedal sports a momentary switch for infinite self-oscillation and another switch to warp between time settings, switching from time A to B repeatedly. It also features an FX loop that allows you to stack other effects pedals internally between the two delays. This opens up a world of possibilities for creating even more complex and richly textured sounds.
The Fernweh Multi Echo Module is a beautifully crafted and bizarre vintage style delay, hand-built with tender love and care, prepared to weird up your sound. Chris and the JPTR FX crew are known for their loud, intense sonic creations, and I knew that in the delay field they would shine and sparkle as well. Head over to their website for more info and ordering for the Fernweh, and all of their amazing pedals, and hear this beautiful machine in action in our demo below (come for the echo, stay for the awesome FX Loop experimentation…) Cheers!!
