Description

The CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 is a purpose built stutter and killswitch effects pedal designed for players wanting dynamic rhythmic tools in their rig. It gives guitarists, bass players, synth and keys players the ability to chop, mute or slice audio on the fly, and to inject rhythmic pulses or abrupt cuts into their sound. It's as useful live as it is in the studio, serving as a hands on device to control when the signal reaches the amp or output, or to let the pedal do the work automatically.

When activated, the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 can deliver classic killswitch behaviour: the signal will be cut or allowed through manually, giving precise control for staccato riffs, silence cuts, or sudden re entries. On top of that it offers a Burst mode driven by an active circuit: you can dial in a tremolo style stutter, with rate control, to create rhythmic textures that range from subtle pulses to rapid fire chopping effects. That means you can use it to generate flutter style rhythmic patterns or glitch style bursts, perfectly synced to your timing or played freehand.

Sonically, the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 brings a distinctive voice. With manual kill or activate modes, you can mute or unmute your signal instantly, ideal for dramatic staccato breaks, tight rhythmic accents, or sudden silence in a song. Engage Burst mode, and the sound becomes a rhythmic gate: your sustained chords, lead lines or bass parts can shimmer or chop at programmable rates. You’ll hear clean signal slices, percussive gaps or a trembling stutter that can inject energy in unexpected places. Whether used with clean tones, overdrive, fuzz or effects chains, the Telegraph V2 adds movement, tension and rhythmic detail. For synths or keyboards it can turn pads or leads into rhythmic instruments, giving pulsing and syncopated textures. Vocals (in a pedalboard mic rig) can even be shaped in real time, opening creative possibilities beyond guitar.

Playing with the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 feels immediate and expressive. The footswitch engagement works well under stage conditions, with the all metal construction giving a solid and dependable feel underfoot. You can also operate it by hand when adjusting settings in rehearsal or studio. When using Burst mode, the rate knob gives responsive real time control so you can sweep from slow pulses to frantic stutters. Switching between momentary and latching mode allows flexibility: hold for a chop, or press to lock the effect in. The “Polarity” toggle gives tactile control over whether the Burst mode mutes or allows signal when activated, giving you the power to choose how that rhythm interacts with your playing. It’s a tool that feels like an extension of the player, one foot or hand and you’re in control of rhythmic structure.

Controls are focused on simplicity and function, rather than overwhelming you with knobs. The key control is the Burst Speed knob that sets the rate when in Burst mode. The mode selector lets you choose between three modes: Kill (manual signal cut), Burst (automatic stutter) and Activate (manual signal enable). The side mounted Polarity toggle sets how Burst behaves relative to your signal. For external control, there is an expression input (TRS) and CV input, so you can plug in an expression pedal or sync to a gate/CV source and control rate externally. This expands its usefulness for live pedalboard rig setups, modular gear, or studio tempo locking workflows. You also get compatibility with passive dual tap / NO tap sources for added versatility.

Under the hood, the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 features a newly designed active circuit. This update from previous versions expands what the Telegraph can do: it now offers a broader palette of rhythmic options and more control flexibility. The control architecture supports momentary or latching operation (with an internal DIP switch to disable latching if you prefer momentary only), and the pedal implements a fail safe power loss protection so that if power is interrupted it will automatically revert to bypass mode, preserving your signal integrity.

In terms of build quality, the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 sits in a sturdy all metal enclosure suited for heavy use. The robust hardware handles foot operation and repeated use without worry, making it fit for live transport, rehearsal, and studio environments. The Smart Bypass™ switching system ensures your signal path is preserved when the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 is disengaged, giving you clarity and transparency when the effect isn’t in use.

The graphics and finish for this version are striking: the Summer Punch finish stands out on any pedalboard, making the unit both a visual statement and a functional piece of gear. The layout is practical, with front facing jacks and inputs so you can route cables neatly; the DC input is standard 9 V DC, centre negative.

LED indicators (including a bi colour LED knob used in Burst mode) give clear feedback about status and current rate settings so you're always sure what mode you're in and how the effect is performing. This is especially helpful on dark stages or in low lighting studio setups.

In summary, the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 is more than a novelty effect, it’s a versatile tool for anyone looking to add rhythm, glitch, gate and pulse control to their sound. Whether a guitarist wants to chop riffs for dramatic returns, a bassist wants synced rhythmic stutter, or a producer integrates this into synth or vocal chains, the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2 offers precision, variety and reliability. Its combination of manual and automated modes, external control flexibility, rugged build and expressive potential makes it a valuable addition to any rig. For musicians wanting creative control over silence and rhythm, this pedal is an excellent choice.
