Non-Human Audio Kimchi | Textural Fuzz Drive
$ 175.00
A unique exploration of transistor biasing and distorted textures.
Born from a technical "what if" in mid-2024, the Kimchi is the result of experimenting with adjustable transistor biasing—a method rarely seen in traditional drive circuits. The result is a pedal that covers a massive, unique sonic territory that ranges from clangy, bitey overdrive to zippery, compressed fuzz.
Despite its ability to get aggressive, the Kimchi maintains a surprising amount of clarity throughout its range. It is a highly interactive circuit that offers a variety of distinct "feels":
- Natural & Chewy: Dial in settings that feel responsive and organic under the fingers.
- Beefy & Aggressive: Push the high end for a cutting, powerful tone that demands attention.
- Squashed & Open: Explore settings that provide heavy compression on single notes while remaining open and harmonic with full chords.
The Kimchi isn't just a drive or a fuzz—it's a textural tool designed for exploration.
Hand-Built Authenticity
Every Kimchi is hand-built and assembled in the Non-Human Audio workshop. The enclosures are finished by hand in my backyard, ensuring that every pedal has a slightly different, one-of-a-kind look. Your pedal is as unique as the circuit inside it
