Sound Pure's Take

Taking the already classic design to the next level! I'm a big fan of this new version of the sparrow. It offers more gain than the standard version and an ever-so-slightly darker mid-voice overall. Very slight. Making it just different enough to really get you thinking, "do I need this?" The answer is yes!

The matte black finish is pretty stealth. Very cool vader-style theme. and the new smaller box for the angry sparrow continues to please those who demanded this size since the pedal hit the market.

Check out the standard version and the new DOUBLE sparrow called the Ampeater. All extrmely musical and effective fuzz and boost effects. Need help figuring out which is best for you? I'd be happy to help! I've played them all and am in the process of getting the right sparrow on my board as I type this

This Flickinger Angry Sparrow is a wonderfully dynamic fuzz pedal, simply with volume, tone and gain. It has extraordinary low gain tone, but also can get dialed up with some pretty gnarly high gain. It works wonderfully along side other overdrive pedals, and is used here along with a Fulltone OCD to produce stunning sonic results. We tested the pedal using a Nash Les Paul Gibson Relic into a Duesenberg Doosey One Amp, and recorded it with a single Peluso P67 Microphone into an A Designs Red Preamp. We are really excited to have these Flickingers here at Sound Pure and are anxious to talk to you about them, so call us toll free 888.528.9703.

The new MF-104M Analog Delay Pedal from Moog is more than just an attempt to revisit the now discontinued MF-104 line of Analog Delay Pedals, it is an answer to our prayers, a revelation. Not only does it provide all the same utility of it's predecessors, but takes into account everything that was missing or desired from its' devoted loyalists. 800 MS of Analog Delay, a new 6 Waveshape LFO, complete MIDI control, amazing new capabilities with a Tap Tempo function and the amazing new Spillover Mode all round out this incredible achievement in audio engineering. With the pedal set to Spillover, you can control whether your delay trails continue after bypassing the delay or come to a stop, all completely on the fly. Not to mention, it's all Moog Analog Delay, the best of the best, smother than smooth, beyond comparison to any other analog delay out there. These pedals even utilize the same vintage "Bucket Brigade" chips that were so few in number in the past. CV/Expression Pedal inputs on the rear panel provide hands free control and manipulation of Time, Rate, Feedback, Amount, and Mix. As is the case with all Moogerfoogers, you can connect Moog EP2 expression pedals to any of these CV/Expression inputs to control functions, or connect other Moog Pedals and create entirely new sonic landscapes. The Feedback Insert also provides further utility, if you want to patch in other stomp boxes or outboard effects onto the same line as the delay, opening up even more flexibility with whatever you want to create. This amazing Analog Delay Pedal from Moog will only be available for a short time, don't miss out on your chance to own a piece of Analog history!

From Flickinger Effects Pedals

Same circuit as original sparrow, but with more gain!

Unlike other fuzz effects that have several stages of transistors with clipping diodes cascaded into one another, the Angry Sparrow Tone Box has only one clipping stage.  The result is a more musical fuzz tone that is versatile and dynamic.  The controls are pretty self-explanatory, however here are some tips for getting the most out of the device.


VOLUME:

This controls the overall output volume of your Angry Sparrow.  Be aware, this device is capable of a very large volume boost to your signal.  Make sure not to overload other effects or your amplifier!  There is an internal trim-pot that can be set to reduce the maximum volume of your pedal.  It is preset to provide zero reduction.  Remove the back and use a small screwdriver to adjust it if you wish.

TONE:

This is a passive low-pass tone control.  Very similar to what is on your guitar/bass.  Most of the time you will leave it wide open (full clockwise), just like most players do with their tone control on their instrument.  However, it can be very useful to tame the highs on a very bright amp, or if you want a darker tone at higher gain settings.

GAIN:

Much time and effort was put into exactly how the gain control functions.  At the lowest (counter-clockwise) settings, there will be very little change from your original sound, only a little compression and a warming of the tone.  You can set the volume higher and use the pedal as a “warm-boost.”  As you increase the gain, you will find dozens of musical overdrive/distortion/fuzz tones that work with more complicated chords and harmonies than you would expect from a circuit of this type.

9V:

Your Angry Sparrow can use a standard 9V battery, also the jack on the rear accepts a standard 2.1mm (BOSS type) AC adapter.  Make sure the center pin is negative.  Using the wrong polarity will not harm the pedal, however it will not function.

NEW Spec - The black sparrow has a BC183c transistor in the first position with slightly different bias. Circuit is otherwise identical.

True-bypass switching with heavy-duty 3PDT push button switch and LED

Hand-wired construction

Hand-painted durable aluminum enclosure

Metal film resistors for low noise operation

Quality Switchcraft 1/4" jacks

9v AC adapter jack with reverse polarity protection

Internal trim-pot to adjust maximum volume

No Op-Amp chips, all NPN and MOSFET transitors for more musical gain.
