Description

Electro-Faustus sound devices are musical instruments within their own right, adding a mixture of power and uniqueness to any artist’s sound palate.  The Electro-Faustus Drone King may be considered as a stand alone effects pedal or desktop synth ideal for your pedalboard, home or professional studio. 

The Electro-Faustus Drone King includes four oscillators, two on each side and separate LFO controls for each pair.  This combination of effects collides to create drone sounds of dreams and nightmares. 

In addition, the Electro-Faustus Drone King includes controls for pitch, LFO and waveform adjustment for extra creativity.  If that wasn’t enough, The Electro-Faustus Drone King includes Resonance, Course and Fine Filters to adjust tone quality and ambience. 

The Electro-Faustus Drone King includes a THRU jack insert for your instrument and/or effects pedals. This ensures your instrument signal is unaffected by the Electro-Faustus Drone King because the two are separate. 

The Electro-Faustus Drone King can be used in many ways and some examples are as follows. 

Instrument and Electro-Faustus Drone King

The Electro-Faustus Drone King is effective in creating continuous drones, oscillations, pitches and harmonies as a foundation for your guitar, bass, keyboard, synth or other instruments.  Adjust the Electro-Faustus Drone King to create chordal drones for your instrument, melody or solo. 

Instrument, Effects Pedals and Electro-Faustus Drone King

Effects pedals can be added before the Electro-Faustus Drone King to create truly unique ambient and synth type tones.  Plug in your favourite analogue delay pedal to create warm, lush guitar repeats with ambient drone tones beneath.  Or, connect a spacious hall reverb for even more depth with the Electro-Faustus Drone King and chorus filter activated. 

Placing effects pedals in between your instrument and Electro-Faustus Drone King will create unique sounds for your instrument with separate and complimentary undertones from the Electro-Faustus Drone King.  Try any combination of effects pedals, e.g. fuzz, overdrive, chorus, phasers, flangers, univibes, delay and reverb etc, to create your favourite sound combinations with the Electro-Faustus Drone King

Instrument, Electro-Faustus Drone King and Effects Pedals

This combination creates some truly exciting tones, particularly with modulation and time based effects.  Connect your favourite analogue delay and/or shimmering reverb after the Electro-Faustus Drone King to create spectacular soundscapes that sound capable of bending dark matter and shifting space time.  Alternatively, try an octave fuzz after the Electro-Faustus Drone King for big doomy drone tones.  Or, mix it up with a combination of modulation and time based effects to create something truly ethereal. 

Instrument, Effects Pedals, Electro-Faustus Drone King and Effects Pedals

This is where the Electro-Faustus Drone King gets really special and creative.  Using effects pedals, or combination of effects pedals, before and after the Electro-Faustus Drone King offers totally limitless possibilities.  Use a combination of pedals including reverb and shimmer, chorus, delay, dual delay, phaser, flanger, fuzz, overdrive, univibe, boost, wah, envelope filter and many more. 

The only limits to the Electro-Faustus Drone King capabilities are our imagination. 

Synth

The Electro-Faustus Drone King is superb with synth with ambient modulation and time based effects placed anywhere in the signal chain. 

Controls

  • POWER: Global bypass switch on and off 
  • VOLUME: Controls the global signal output 

BANK ONE – LEFT SIDE 

  • LEFT BLUE KNOB: Oscillator number two 
  • CENTRE BLUE KNOB: Oscillator number one 

Combine both oscillators to create harmonies

RIGHT BLUE KNOB: Controls the LFO

  • Fully anti clockwise, the LFO is disengaged
  • Turning the knob clockwise increases the pitch

LEFT CHROME KNOB: This is the LFO rate and is linked to the middle left LED

  • Turning the knob clockwise increases the LFO rate 
  • Anti clockwise slows the LFO rate

SWITCHES

With all three switches down, oscillator number one (CENTRE BLUE KNOB) is engaged. 

  • Turning the knob clockwise makes the pitch go down 
  • Anti clockwise makes the pitch go up 

RIGHT SWITCH: Changes between square wave and sine wave

  • Up is sine wave 
  • Down is square wave 

CENTRE SWITCH: With the LFO (LEFT CHROME KNOB) turned to zero, and centre switch up, oscillators one (CENTRE BLUE KNOB) and two (LEFT BLUE KNOB) are activated.

  • Turning oscillator two anti clockwise and the pitch goes down. 
  • Clockwise and the pitch goes up 

Oscillator knobs can be adjusted to create harmony drone tones and chords. 

LEFT SWITCH: This turns the CENTRE BLUE KNOB into a frequency sweep.  Adjusting the central knob with frequency sweep engaged affects oscillator two and the LFO (RIGHT BLUE KNOB). 

With left switch up, middle and right switch down, the LFO (LEFT CHROME KNOB) is engaged with the centre and left knobs acting as frequency sweeps. 

SILENT MODE: With the LFO at zero and both oscillators at 12 o’clock activates silent mode. 

BANK TWO – RIGHT SIDE 

Mirror image of BANK ONE. 

RESONANCE KNOB (top right): Adjusts the quality in a sound, i.e. deep, full, and reverberating. 

COURSE AND FINE FILTERS:  Chorus filter (LEFT) creates washed underwater type tones. Fine filter (RIGHT) is effective with the chorus filter allowing the effect to be “open”.
