Zorro is a hand-built harmonic energizer inspired by the Systech Harmonic Energizer, designed to shape and emphasize selected frequencies while adding gain, harmonic texture, and a focused midrange character.
Rather than behaving like a conventional overdrive or boost, Zorro combines adjustable gain with sweepable frequency and bandwidth controls, allowing you to move from broader tonal emphasis to a narrower, more pronounced frequency peak.
Sound
Zorro is built around harmonic coloration and frequency shaping.
The Gain control determines how strongly the circuit drives and colors the signal, while Frequency selects the area of the spectrum being emphasized. Bandwidth controls how broad or focused that emphasis becomes.
This makes Zorro useful for pushing a particular frequency range forward, adding character to rhythm tones, or creating more pronounced and unconventional lead sounds.
Controls
Volume — Sets the overall output level.
Gain — Controls the amount of gain and harmonic coloration.
Frequency — Selects the center frequency of the emphasized range.
Bandwidth — Adjusts the width of the selected frequency range, from broader emphasis to a narrower, more focused peak.

Your pedals are more than just boxes; they're sonic sculptors, crafting the very essence of your sound. To keep them performing at their peak, heed these sacred commandments of pedal care:
The Tenets of Pedal Preservation
- Unplug the Beast: Before diving into the cleaning ritual, always disconnect your pedal from the power source. This simple act prevents electrical mishaps and ensures your safety.
- A Gentle Wipe: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently caress the pedal's exterior. Remove dust, grime, and the residue of countless gigs.
- The Forbidden Liquid: Water, the nemesis of electronics, must be banished from your cleaning routine. Avoid liquid cleaners and moisture at all costs.
- The Sacred Knob: When cleaning knobs, rotate them gently, ensuring no debris enters the delicate inner workings.
- The Jack's Domain: Utilize a specialized contact cleaner to maintain the integrity of your input and output jacks. A gentle spray and a few rotations will do the trick.
- The Power Supply's Purpose: A well-regulated power supply is the lifeblood of your pedalboard. Keep it clean and free from dust, ensuring optimal performance.
- The Periodic Purge: Regularly inspect your pedalboard for loose cables, faulty connections, and signs of wear. A well-maintained board is a happy board.
- The Holy Grail of Storage: When not in use, store your pedals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
- The Forbidden Modding: Unless you're a seasoned electronics wizard, resist the urge to tinker with your pedals' internal circuitry. Leave it to the experts.
- The Ritual of Respect: Treat your pedals with reverence. They are the tools of your musical expression, deserving of care and attention.
By adhering to these sacred tenets, you'll ensure that your pedals continue to deliver sonic bliss for years to come.
