Modulatron Overloaded
The Modulatron Overloaded is our most unhinged creation yet—a chorus/vibrato pedal with dual LFOs and a built-in overdrive channel.
We took our original Modulatron—already a dual-LFO chorus/vibrato beast—and did what any mad scientist would do: added an overdrive circuit to the clean channel and pushed the whole thing over the edge.
What you’ve got here is a modulation pedal that thinks it’s a drive pedal. Or maybe a drive pedal that dreams in stereo swirl. The clean path is no longer clean—it’s juicy, gainy, and ready to grind. You can still run it like a traditional chorus/vibrato with all the lush, wiggly goodness of the OG Modulatron. But now, flip the blend or crank the Overload knob, and you’re in uncharted territory.
Run your signal into the overdrive and modulate it after… or modulate your clean tone and kick in the Overload to rip it apart. There’s no wrong way to use it. Just spin the seven knobs and follow your ears.
Handwired, tested by humans, and completely out of hand.
Controls:
-
Speed: Adjust the modulation rate from slow sweeps to rapid pulses.
-
Depth: Set how deep the modulation dips. Light shimmer or full-on pitch swings.
-
Blend: Mix from fully dry, to classic chorus, to full vibrato with zero dry signal.
-
Overload: Controls the gain of the clean channel’s overdrive.
-
Curve: Shape your LFO ramp. Think of it as a response dial: smooth, sharp, or something weird in between.
-
Shape: Toggle between sine wave for smooth modulation and square wave for choppy, stuttery effects.
-
Sharpness: Emphasizes high-end detail.
LED Indicators:
-
Yellow LED (Left): Flashes in sync with the modulation rate.
-
Blue LED (Right): Shows when the pedal is powered up.
Other Features:
-
True bypass switching
-
Standard 9V center-negative power jack (no battery clip)
-
Compact 125B enclosure, top-mounted jacks for tight pedalboards
-
Handmade with love and low-end punch in Dallas, Texas

Stuff You Need to Know
I create my pedals manually.
Firstly, I design most of the PCBs and carefully select the parts required for the pedal. Next, I solder the parts by hand and manually wire them. I also design the faceplate art and get it placed into each enclosure myself.
Finally, I clear coat the pedals and hand them to my wife who packages them, and we do all of this work in our living room located in Dallas, Texas.
That’s why every pedal is different.
Every pedal is special.
This is mainly a one-person operation, although my amazing wife helps with packaging and provides me with all the motivation necessary for Spicy Pedals to exist.
Although I make small batches, I don’t keep much inventory because this is a micro-operation. However, we do accept backorders for most of my pedals, but please note that it may take up to two weeks to fulfill your backorder.
In case you opt to backorder a pedal, I will send you an email to inform you about the estimated time required to create your pedal.
I offer a 5-year warranty to the original buyer. If the pedal is not working or it is not doing what it is supposed to do, send me an email, and we’ll figure out what’s up. Please email me before returning anything. You can reach me at [email protected].
Thank you very much for visiting my website. All of this has been made out of love for music and stompboxes.
