Footloose Effects Brundlefly
Footloose Effects · pedal
Footloose Effects built the Brundlefly as a combination dirty tremolo and filter pedal, its name a nod to the hybrid creature from the film The Fly, fitting for a circuit designed to blend two effect types into one genuinely mutated sound rather than keeping tremolo and filtering as cleanly separate functions. The dirty element suggests the tremolo circuit itself carries some grit or saturation character rather than staying purely clean, giving it a rougher, more textured pulse than a standard transparent tremolo, while the filter component adds further tonal shaping on top of that modulated base.
