The Expert Sleepers Cicely is an “octave fuzz” effect that is inspired by the legendary “Octavia” guitar pedal, created by Roger Mayer and most famously used by Jimi Hendrix.
Cicely adapts the concept for the modular environment, adds some extra features, and puts the effect under CV control.
The effect is pretty much like adding an octave on top of the input note, but this only really applies to pure input tones. For more complex tones, the sound is changed in all sorts of interesting ways. This is combined with the possibility of overdriving the sound for even more edge, while the unique 'Centre' control adds asymmetrical clipping.
The Cicely also includes a bonus envelope follower and is 100% analogue.
