Manufacturer's Description:A New Universe of Modulation.
The Medusa was originally made in a small batch of 73 hand-made units in 2003. Discontinued for seven years, the decision to reissue came as a result of several hundred emails from players requesting production to restart.
Re-released in 2010, the Medusa offers guitar players the unique functionality of a chorus unit and tremolo unit in the same enclosure.
The Medusa offers a totally unique function – ChorusTrem – where the chorus modulation pulses at the same rate as the tremolos throb.
Swirling Chorus! Pulsing Trem! Inspiring Chorus-trem!
Fans of the Medusa include David Catching (Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal), Galen Henson (Joe Satriani), and Saskia Hahn (Peaches).

Controls:- Guise - This three position rotary switch allows you to choose from either Chorus mode (fully c/clockwise), Tremolo mode (middle position) or ChorusTrem mode (fully clockwise).
- Velocity - This controls the speed of the chorus pulse and tremolo rise and fall - both effects are synced to the one control.
- Iridescence – This control lets you determine the flavor of the chorus fully counter clockwise for sweet and pristine - a very subtle, shimmery sound right through to fully clockwise which offers marshland super lo-fi, swamp chorus.
- Bathos - The depth control on the chorus - fully c/clockwise is the deepest - back it off for a more subtle sound
- Blend - The mix between clean signal and chorus signal can be adjusted by this control
- Magnitude - When in tremolo mode the magnitude knob adjusts the depth of the tremolo - the sweet spot is approximately half way, further counter clockwise and the trem gets squashed, further clockwise and the trem disappears.
Features:- Footswitch - this is true bypass, which means that when the pedal is not engaged there is no signal degradation or tone sucking - the pedal just becomes part of your guitar cable.
- LED - Bright ruby red LED pulses in time with the speed.
- Left Hand Side Top Socket - The Mono output - use this when you’re in a mono set-up - when in stereo it carries the wet signal.
- Left Hand Side Bottom Socket - Stereo output - by inserting a plug into this socket the unit automatically switches into stereo mode, the stereo output carries the dry signal and the mono output carries the wet. The unit can only function in stereo mode whilst in Chorus or ChorusTrem mode - not tremolo mode.
- Right Hand Side Top Socket - Instrument Input
- Right Hand Side Bottom Socket - Expression pedal socket.
