Mythos The Fates Analogue BBD Chorus and Vibrato Pedal

Brand

Mythos Pedals

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Mythos Pedals is represented by Fuzz Pedals, Chorus Pedals and Octave Pedals. Current listings include Mythos Big Puft Fuzz, Mythos Argonaut Mini Octave Up and Mythos The Fates Analogue BBD Chorus and Vibrato. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus modulation and movement. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Chorus Pedals

Chorus pedals mix the dry signal with one or more short, modulated delays to create movement, width and gentle pitch variation. Rate controls the speed of the modulation; depth controls its excursion; blend, tone and stereo routing determine how prominent the effect becomes. Slower, shallow settings can add width without obscuring the note, while deeper settings move towards a seasick or synthetic wobble. Analogue bucket-brigade and digital designs can behave differently, so check mono compatibility, headroom and the placement of the pedal after drives or before a mixer.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Buffered Bypass

Buffered bypass keeps an active buffer in the signal path when the effect is bypassed. This can help drive long cable runs and high-capacitance boards, but the buffer’s input and output loading may also change the feel or frequency response. It is not the same as true bypass. Check the buffer behaviour, output impedance, placement around fuzz and the number of other buffers already in the chain before deciding whether it suits the rig.

Presets

Preset-capable products can store and recall effect settings, signal paths or control assignments. The useful differences are the number of locations, whether footswitches or MIDI can recall them, what parameters are saved, how quickly they change and whether trails continue between settings. Check editing, backup, firmware, expression and USB requirements, and confirm that the preset system covers the parameters you need rather than assuming every control is recalled.

Vibrato

Vibrato varies the pitch of the signal over time, unlike tremolo which varies its level. Rate controls speed; depth, waveform, mix, phase and stereo routing determine whether the result is subtle movement or a strong seasick wobble. Check whether the design is true pitch vibrato or a chorus-like blend, how it handles chords, and whether the pedal should sit before or after drive and ambience.
