FTelettronica Naked Lunch

Ftelettronica · pedal

The FTelettronica Naked Lunch is a tap-tempo tremolo pedal, not an overdrive, hand-built by the small Italian boutique maker FTelettronica in Isola del Liri, Italy. It uses tap tempo to sync its amplitude modulation to a song's tempo rather than relying on a fixed-rate knob alone, giving rhythmically locked tremolo pulsing. True bypass and 9V DC center-negative power keep it simple and gig-ready. It suits players wanting tempo-synced, rhythmic tremolo pulse rather than a free-running, untimed wobble.
