Updated Repeat Percussion With Real Range

Recurring takes the DNA of the old Vox Repeat Percussion and actually makes it usable in a modern setup without losing what made that circuit interesting in the first place. The core texture—the sharp, percussive pulse—stays intact, but Yesterday Effects expands the range in meaningful ways. The latching footswitch opens up a far wider sweep of rates than the original ever had, and the fact that the rate responds to expression pedals and LFO-based controllers makes it much more flexible on a board. The real standout is the reverse sawtooth LFO. It isn’t a generic trem shape—you get that abrupt, full-signal hit and a linear decay that feels alive in a mix. It can sit as a rhythmic driver, or it can become this pulsing, semi-modular-feeling layer when you pair it with delays, reverbs, or fuzz. There’s an almost “recurrent” quality to the tone—textures that loop back on themselves, creating movement that feels endless without ever getting messy. On its own, it gives you that classic stuttering tremolo with more control. Stacked with other pedals, it becomes a sound-design tool for building repeating, evolving patterns that feel like they’re breathing. Thoughtful update of a classic circuit, and a genuinely useful textural pedal.
