Create countless tones with this versatile fuzz pedal with resonance control and expression input.
Dual gain fuzz/distortion pedal for high gain freaks, with a classic state-variable filter design which unlike a traditional
bass/treble tone stack, it provides control over Low-pass, Band-pass,
and High-pass responses, along with wide frequency sweep range and
adjustable resonance and sharpness for the filters. Nemesis+ also features an expression input so that you can control the frequency scan with an expression pedal or a volume pedal which will give you the ability to use it as a sort of phasing-wah.
- LO/MID/HI: Control the amount of Low-frequency / Midrange / High-frequency content.
- FREQ.: Sweeps and sets the filter's center frequency.
- RESONANCE toggle switch: Adjusts the Q-factor of the filter, that is how strongly the filter emphasizes the selected frequency. LO-setting sounds smooth and natural; HI-setting creates a pronounced, vocal “wah-like” peak.
- SHARP: Fine tunes and tames the resonance sharpness. At minimum it sounds more natural and at maximum it creates a pronounced, vocal “wah-like” peak which can sound sharp or nasal.
- GAIN toggle switch: select HI or LO gain mode.
- GAIN pot: Fine tunes the gain.
- VOL.: sets the output volume
- Expression input: Connect and expression pedal or a volume pedal to this input and you will have the ability top control the frequency sweep function giving you an effect similar to wah.
- Exp. toggle switch: Set it to the "exp." position in case you connect an expression pedal to the expression input.

Nomenclature:
In ancient Greece, Nemesis (Greek: Νέμεσις), also called Rhamnousia/ Rhamnusia ("the goddess of Rhamnous") was the goddess who enacted retribution against those who succumb to "hybris" (arrogance before the gods). Another name was Adrasteia/ Adrestia, meaning "the inescapable".
She was also a goddess of indignation against and retribution for evil deeds and undeserved good fortune.
The poet Mesomedes wrote a hymn to Nemesis in the early second century AD, where he addressed her:
"Nemesis, winged balancer of life, dark-faced goddess, daughter of Justice"
and mentioned her "adamantine bridles" that restrain "the frivolous insolences of mortals".
