Like the Russian nesting dolls by which it takes its name, the Bananana Effects Matryoshka has layers and layers that reveal themselves as you journey deeper into it.
A bass synth pedal with eight modes, the Matryoshka treats your bass guitar’s signal with an LFO, Bit Crusher, Appregiator, and more synth parameters.
With two outputs—one that is affected by the selected mode and one that can remain a constant, deep tone—you’re able to mix and match settings to your hearts delight, emulating classic bass synth tones as found on the Minimoog or a Korg MS-20.
The Matryoshka also comes equipped with an Octave knob, allowing you to drop a full octave to make rattling sub-bass tones.
As you can see in the video above, Andy Martin is continually surprised by the sounds hidden within this tiny pedal. Click on the listings box above to buy direct from Bananana Effects.
