BLAMMO! Electronics Space Madness Pedal
The Space Madness is a dual PT2399-based delay pedal that can do short and long delay times well with a noise-out switch that is highly controllable, plus an LFO that wobbles the repeats. What’s a noise-out switch, you ask? Well, we officially called it the History Eraser Button, but what it does is this; it sends the pedal into self-oscillation, but it also connects to the Time knob through the Whoosh switch, which causes spaceship-like blasts and stretched-out whirling sounds.

The Feedback control decides how quickly all of this happens and works interactively with the mix and repeats knobs. What does this mean exactly? Well, if the repeats control is set to only one cycle, it will take the History Eraser Button longer to engage self-oscillation than if that same control was set right below infinite repeats.
And while we’re discussing the effect of the repeats knob, it’s important to know that Depth and Rate control the LFO, which is basically a vibrato circuit for just the repeats. When set low, it can simulate the wow and flutter effect associated with a tape echo but when cranked you get maddening sea sick sounds that get extra gnarly when paired with the History Eraser Button.
Officially, the Rate knob controls the speed of the LFO, and Depth is basically a mix control. Oh, and the on/off LED blinks in time with the LFO speed to give a helpful visual representation. Also worth mentioning is the bypass footswitch is either regular latching style or momentary, depending on whether you tap it or hold it down and release it. This is helpful for quick passages or short little bits of delay.
The Space Madness is set up as a buffered pedal, which means the repeats will never abruptly cut off after disengaging as they would with a true bypass setup. This also allows the History Eraser Button to work in bypass, which is a really helpful trick for the shoegaze and noise rock crowd.
