BIG EAR pedals' description of BIG EAR pedals ALBIE (ambient modulator)

THE MIDIUM® CURATOR'S NOTE: The Midium® exclusive LIMITED EDITION pedal benefiting survivors of the January 2025 Los Angeles fires.

Due to the catastrophic fires in Los Angeles this January (2025), Erin, Melody Nightingale Wednesday, and I (Cam [they / them]) have decided to donate all of the proceeds from the sale of these units, after expenses, to the GoFundMe Wildfire Relief Fund 2025 hosted and owned by GoFundMe.org, benefiting survivors here in the Los Angeles area.  Because of the nature of this program, both units are final sale.  We would like to thank Grant and Karen at BIG EAR pedals and the Artists who end up purchasing these two collectible and rare BIG EAR pedals ALBIEs for helping to make this possible.  Music can make the world a better place, and these exclusive Limited Edition ALBIE units by BIG EAR pedals will be another way that music can help bring peace and hope to a world in great need of both.

ONLY 2 OF 2 EVER MADE, BENEFITTING L.A. WILDFIRE RELIEF. 

ALBIE is an ambient modulator featuring eight settings specifically built and curated to cover the jangly, shimmering, modulated sounds associated with the New Wave & Post Punk music of the ‘70s & ‘80s.


ALBIE has two knobs, “Effect” and “Blend.” The “Effect” knob allows the user to change between eight 
different pedal-chains or “stacks” of effects (the LEDs light up with the corresponding effect). These effects chains consist of several kinds of modulation as well as reverbs and delays, even some compression. The
“Blend” knob mixes the chosen effect setting into the clean-tone of the guitar, making this pedal especially perfect for those with option-paralysis.


The clicking momentary footswitch operates like a standard footswitch, but when held down provides a 
secondary setting for each effects chain. These extra settings are called the “Neil Modes”—named after Neil Graham of Dr. Scientist who programmed the digital code for ALBIE, as well as designed these secondary settings. These modes can also be accessed with latching functionality, meaning they will stay on even after lifting your foot off of the footswitch!

ALBIE does not contain a battery snap and requires a 9v (111ma minimum) power supply with a 2.1mm barrel connector (negative center).


*This pedal DOES NOT come with a power adapter. We recommend using an isolated DC power supply.
