The Qu is a 10hp Phaser and sound mangler
Inspired by Love Tone Doppelganger phaser
pedal from the 90’s and the works of Turkish sci-fi writer CM Kosemen (who also kindly did
the artwork for the panel), If you are unfamiliar with his work I suggest bedore even building
this to check it out. The Qu module has an input, two outputs (which you can use for stereo dudites, one is
clean and the other one is distorted and thus slightly louder as well), and two cv inputs (cv to
the left is normaled to the right when only using one input).
There are two switches, one for removing the dry signal from the circuit (creates vibrato type effects in phaser mode, does
weird stuff in Qu mode). The other switch, labeled Qu is to switch the Qu on or off. When on
the Qu are attacking, mangling and destroying the sound, sometimes trying to mimic the
input but ultimately failing and instead morphing it into a “new species” (just like in “All
Tomorrowa). The right cv input will have a slighter more impact on the signal then the left in
Qu mode but both will effect the signal. There are three pots on top, two for feedback and
one for Mix. Mix is important in Phaser mode since the phaser effect relies on a dry signal
being present. Also phaser sounds are usually more pronounced with more complex
sounds: chords, rich waveforms, drums or vocals. Don’t expect much action by inserting a
straight sine from Bristol Bloodhound (the wave folded out though: HELLO!) The feedback
pots are for the Qu mode, it will affect the sound depending on incoming signal and other
setting. All knobs and even the wet switch will interfere in Qu mode. Have fun exploring
thresholds with this one. Play around. Have fun.
