BANANA EFFECTS MANDALA - GLITCH EFFECT PEDAL

===== PRODUCT OVERVIEW =====

The BANANA EFFECTS MANDALA is a groundbreaking compact effect pedal dedicated entirely to glitch-inspired sound design. Rather than borrowing a hold function from conventional delay pedals, the MANDALA evolves this concept into a standalone instrument for creating fractured, experimental textures inspired by broken CDs and digital audio workstation (DAW) glitches.

This is not just another multi-effect pedal—it's a creative tool designed specifically for musicians and sound designers who want to explore the destructive, unexpected beauty of glitch aesthetics. Whether you're performing live electroacoustic music, experimental rock, electronic experimental genres, or seeking unique textures for studio work, the MANDALA delivers unprecedented creative potential in a compact footprint.

Perfect for adventurous guitarists, synth players, and performance artists looking to break free from conventional effects processing, the MANDALA combines intuitive hands-on control with deep sonic possibilities.

===== KEY FEATURES =====

✓ 8 unique glitch-focused effect modes (see details below)

✓ Compact mini-sized pedal (52mm x 93mm x 49mm) ideal for board integration or portable setups

✓ Four intuitive parameter knobs + two switching controls for real-time manipulation

✓ Innovative "Trigger" mode—automatically initiates loops when input signal is interrupted

✓ Double-speed playback, pitch shifting, and square wave (synth) conversion capabilities

✓ Buffered bypass for signal integrity

✓ Selectable Latch/Unlatch switching modes for different playing styles

✓ Kill Dry function—switch between wet glitch effect only or dry + effect blend

===== 8 EFFECT MODES =====

The MANDALA includes eight distinct processing modes:

1. Standard Repeat/Loop Mode

2. Double-Speed Playback Mode

3. Pitch-Shifted Repeat Mode

4. Octave-Shifted Mode

5. Square Wave (Synthesizer) Conversion Mode

6. Trigger Mode (auto-loop on signal dropout)

7. Random/Randomized Glitch Mode

8. [Additional mode - clarify if needed]

Each mode responds to the FUNC and TIME knobs for real-time parameter adjustment, allowing infinite creative possibilities.

===== OPERATION & CONTROLS =====

KNOBS:

• VOL (Volume): Controls wet signal level—blend between effect sound intensity

• FUNC (Function): Adjusts mode-specific parameters (pitch values, octave selection, playback speed settings, etc.)

• TIME: Sets repeat/loop duration and defines maximum cycle time in Random mode

• MODE: Selects between the 8 effect modes

SWITCHES:

• Latch / Unlatch Toggle: Choose between latching mode (tap to toggle ON/OFF) or momentary mode (effect active only while footswitch is pressed)

• Kill Dry: Toggle between wet effect only or dry + wet blend
