The Edgelord is a clone of the Ibanez SB-7 Bass Synthesizer. It is an envelope filter with optional distortion. The circuit has been overlooked by the DIY community, but it is a fun effect to play with on bass and guitar.

The Edgelord has some changes from the stock circuit, including true bypass instead of FET bypass, toggle and rotary switches instead of slide switches, an output gain trimmer, and optional LEDs that light up according to the selected “synth” mode.

The controls on the Edgelord are as follows:

– FREQ: Sets the frequency sweep of the envelope.
– SENSE: Adjusts the sensitivity of the envelope detector.
– REZ: Adjusts the resonant peak of the envelope frequency.
– LEVEL: Sets the output volume of the effect.
– DECAY: This switch toggles between short and long envelope decay times.
– MODE: This rotary switch selects three modes for the effect: Autowah, Synth1, and Synth2. Autowah is a clean envelope, while Synth1 and Synth2 add different amounts of distortion to the envelope for a pseudo synthesizer effect.
– T1: This trimmer sets the output voltage of the LM317TZ regulator. It should be adjusted for 7v.

Overall, the Edgelord offers a unique and interesting take on the envelope filter effect. It is a versatile pedal that can be used on both bass and guitar, and the different modes and controls allow for a wide range of sounds.
