URLA

"Urla" is an Italian verb which means "scream" in second person imperative (tu, urla = you, scream). A loud, aggressive and experimental device which consists in 2 effects in 1 pedal unit, the URLA is a CMOS fuzz in front of a synth-based dual resonant filter. CMOS Fuzz: A CMOS chip works with digital logic (1, 0). Compared to the transistor based fuzz circuits (it doesn't matter if germanium or silicon), in a CMOS fuzz there is no "in-between", no "dynamic range", no "vintage tone" or anything like that. There are just 1s and 0s, so no matter which kind of waveshape you put into it: the output will always be square wave with no adjustable gain neither since the square wave is as distorted as it can get. The URLA obviously makes no exceptions and it provides an overdriven, glitchy and gated fuzz sound with a decay that dies abruptly (but still allowing to sustain each note thanks to a bass boost stage that we put at the very beginning of the signal path). It offers 2 controls: VOL
