Malekko Goatkeeper

Goatkeeper 2-Stage Polyrhythmic Analog Tremolo The Malekko Goatkeeper (MGK) is a completely redesigned version of the Lightfoot Labs Goatkeeper, first released in 2007. The core of the pedal is an all analog tremolo circuit using a THAT Corp VCA, which when combined with the built in waveforms, can produce tremolo sounds from percussive to smooth. The MGK’s LFO generation consists of two stages, each with a range of multiplier values and waveform selection. The two stages can be run in one of four modes: -Sequential: The two stages are run one after the other -Composite: The two stages are run simultaneously and the effective waveform is a polyrhythmic composite of the two. -Modulation: The two stages are run simultaneously and the second waveform modulates the first waveform. -Single: First stage only for classic tremolo. Tempo can be set with the RATE knob or with the Tap/Sync input. The Tap/Sync input accepts a Malekko Lil’ Buddy for tap tempo control, or an analog clock/metronome signal. The DEPTH knob allows the effect to vary from subtle to high intensity. Features: -2-stage LFO with Sequential, Composite, and Modulation modes -LFO modes create sounds from simple to complex polyrhythms -Stage 1 multipliers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, Random -Stage 2 multipliers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 -Waveforms set individually on each stage -Sine, square, pulse, long square, ramp up, ramp down waveforms available -Randomize waveforms on Stage 1 -Rate and Depth controls -All analog signal path using THAT Corp VCA -Large analog headroom -LEDs show waveform intensity of each stage -Relay true bypass with LED indicator -Detented knobs for quick and accurate settings -Tap tempo via Malekko Lil’ Buddy or sync with external metronome/clock -Single stage mode for classic tremolo Manual Needs: 9VDC 50mA Center Negative
