ICONOCLAST

Overview

ICONOCLAST is a monophonic octave-up fuzz with a sweepable drone oscillator — inspired by the Fuzzrocious Empty Glass and the raw energy of noise rock. Full-wave rectification generates an octave-up signal that blends with a gain stage spanning clean boost to 10,000x fuzz. The drone section adds a Schmitt trigger relaxation oscillator (sawtooth/square hybrid) that can be swept from 20Hz sub-bass to 10kHz screech, filtered and blended with your drive signal. Two footswitches: one for the fuzz, one for the drone. Stack them for total destruction.

12 parameters. Two circuits. No mercy.

Features

• Octave-Up Generator — Full-wave rectification for monophonic octave pitch doubling. SLAM control goes from subtle harmonics to full octave-up.
• Extreme Gain Range — 1x to 10,000x drive (exponential mapping). From transparent clean boost through overdrive to wall-of-noise fuzz.
• Drone Oscillator — CD40106 Schmitt trigger relaxation oscillator with PolyBLEP anti-aliasing. Sweepable pitch (20Hz-10kHz), adjustable shape (ramp to harsh square), dedicated filter and volume.
• Fuzz BLEND — Parallel dry/wet mix preserves your clean signal under the heaviest settings. Keep the note definition even at maximum destruction.
• Post-Drive Tone — LPF sweepable from 200Hz to 20kHz. Shape the fuzz from dark doom to bright screech.
• HQ Oversampling — 2x/4x selectable for alias-free processing at any gain level.

What People Say

“ICONOCLAST is the most unhinged fuzz plugin I’ve used. The drone oscillator turns it from a distortion into an instrument. I’ve written entire songs just sweeping the pitch knob over a power chord.”
