If you're here, I think you know what you're looking at. This is a beast of a fully analog PLL unit. This is by far the most clean and smooth PLL in the guitar pedal format that I've ever worked with. The standard version was, and still is a rare unit, but this "Extra Forte" edition (with light sensor for expression and extra features, knob and switch for the PLL section) is even rarer. Also, as you know it is sadly discontinued for a long while, which makes it even more challenging to find it anywhere really.

I prefer local pickup, but can ship worldwide at the buyer's expense. Feel free to contact me if you need more details.

Glou-Glou Moutarde "Extra Forte" PLL Harmonizer Pedal:

Glou-Glou's Moutarde is another exceptional multi-effect module, this time offering a bank of lowpass filters, a gated fuzz, and a four-voice PLL circuit for creating synth sounds, fuzzy harmonies, thick pitch shift effects, and more. As always, Glou-Glou delivers a pedal with a sound and workflow all its own.

Moutarde's four resonant filters can be modulated via the internal LFO or envelope follower, making for a dynamic means of timbral modulation. Additionally, the LFO's rate can also be modulated via the envelope follower for modulations that speed up and slow down with the player's dynamics (or an external expression pedal).

The Fuzz section, a PNP transistor fuzz, is in line just before the filters—giving them plenty of harmonics to bite into. The PLL, though, is where much of the magic happens: a set of audio-controlled oscillators that track the incoming signal. When playing chords, these sounds will immediately devolve into glitchy sonic chaos—but when playing monophonic lines, they can cleanly track the incoming signal for stellar synth-like effects. The Transpose and Voicing parameters employ several pre-set harmonizing options: allowing the creation of everything from octaves and fifths to complex harmonies. And of course, by dialing in the Follow and Sensitivity controls, users can vary the "success" of the pitch tracking—making for clean synth sounds, occasional sluggish glitches, and complete sonic chaos.

Moutarde offers tons of options for signal routing and combination, making it possible to do gentle layering with the dry sound, all-out fuzz, and much more. As always with Glou-Glou, the Moutarde does everything from subtle to extreme, making for a synth effect of exceptional class and quality.

Moutarde "Extra Forte" Features:

  • Quad filter, gated fuzz, and four-voice PLL circuit all rolled into one
  • One bandpass filter and three lowpass filters
  • Filter bank offers independent control of cutoff, resonance (peak), and modulation depth
  • Filters can be fed from dry signal, fuzz, or PLL
  • PLL comprised of four audio-controlled square wave oscillators
  • Voicings and Transpose switches allow creation of octaves, fifths, and complex harmonies from the PLL oscillators
  • Internal envelope follower and LFO for sonic animation
  • LFO speed controllable via envelope follower or external expression pedal
  • Integrated light-dependent resistor (LDR) for expression pedal-like control of filters and LFO speed
  • Refined PLL modes for a variety of gliding synth tones
