Having already proclaimed MONONEGATIVES the very best of the newest wave of post-punk/synth-punk, I did not imagine this London (Ontario)–based outfit had left itself room to make a second album twice as good as its first. - faster and louder
Crossing Visual Field is dense with creativity and as such demands repeated listens to unlock its true quality. - Add To Want List
…unleashed a set of songs that are the sound of raw dystopia. - Queen City Sounds and Art
Television Funeral - the third and final single from the upcoming Mononegatives LP Crossing Visual Field is here!! 🎸☠️🎹☠️
In the past nothing could be recorded so most things were forgotten. Now everything can be recorded and it’s usually nothing we want to remember. Television Funeral can be seen as an entire albums worth of ideas presented into one recording, one catchy enough that you hopefully will want to remember but also one caustic enough that makes it hard to forget.

Introducing THE SENDER - A new version of highly lauded Furs Face pedal!!
Same super transparent and diverse fuzz circuit from the Furs Face pedal but with a new twist to the Octavia effect to make it more usable for synth and bass guitar. When Octavia is activated The Sender bypasses the lower frequency around the effect circuit, keeping the bass frequencies tone fat and rich while still effecting the higher frequencies. This creates a more tangible bass layer for the effected higher notes to sit on. It subtle but with a massive feel!
The Sender is a touch sensitive silicon fuzz with two footswitchable fuzz channels, plus an Octavia effect and a controllable circuit bending gated feedback loop. This pedal is insanely versatile with a massive range of fuzz tones and depth and takes guitar effects to place most single pedals can’t thanks to the Octavia with bass bypass effect and the computer melting, battery dying glitch sound making gated feedback loop.
The art for each pedal is unique one-of-a-kind art from Mononegatives.
