Spurr Audio today announced the launch of the PMF-8824, a compact multi-modulation pedal that combines vintage digital aesthetics with modern creative power. Inspired by the personal computers of the early 1980s, the PMF-8824 offers guitarists and musicians a distinctive toolkit for crafting modulated textures and unconventional tones.
A Nostalgic Interface with Modern Functionality
At Guitar Bomb, we have long been fans of Spurr Audio and eagerly await their new releases. The new PMF-8824’s design is a clear homage to the past, featuring a retro-inspired pixel screen that dynamically changes to reflect the selected effect.
This visual identity, complete with pixel fonts and windowed layouts, makes each of the eight custom-designed effects feel like its own interactive “page.”
The pedal’s housing and graphical user interface (GUI) were carefully modeled after early computer aesthetics, creating a unique and user-friendly experience.
Mono with Spatial Tricks
Despite its nostalgic appearance, the PMF-8824 is a forward-thinking pedal. While it operates in mono, each of its effects is crafted to feel immersive, using spatial tricks, stereo-style modulation, and reverb-like environments to expand the perceived soundstage. This attention to detail ensures a rich, full sound that belies its compact size.
A Versatile Toolkit for Sonic Exploration
The PMF-8824 comes equipped with eight custom-designed effects, each with its own dedicated screen layout and real-time control over three contextual parameters (Ctrl 1–3). In addition to these controls, dedicated knobs for Mix, Volume, and Program selection make dialing in sounds quick and intuitive.
The included effects range from classic modulation staples to more experimental sound-shaping tools:
- Phaser: A smooth 4-stage phaser with musical feedback.
- Tremolo: Rich amplitude modulation with a waveform selector.
- Flanger: Dense, metallic swirl with resonant feedback.
- Vibrato: Tape-style pitch wobble with internal ambiance.
- Chorus: A wide 4-voice chorus with a built-in reverb option.
- Rotary Simulator: A spinning speaker effect with mic and cabinet control.
- VCR (VHS Lo-Fi): Warped, nostalgic tape textures with saturation.
- Microchoir: A unique digital choir inspired by classic organ voicing.
