The Caroline Guitar Company SOMERSAULT is a versatile modulation pedal that functions as a chorus, vibrato, and faux-rotary device. Can produce gentle chorus movement, old-school watery chorus, seasick wobble, and glitchy bleep-bloop modulation. The circuit hits a tonal balance between the dark thick syrup of analog chorus and the brighter more option-packed character of digital modulation. Boutique US construction. Suited for players who want multiple modulation textures from a single compact pedal.
The Walrus Audio Lillian is a true-bypass, all-analog multi-stage phaser offering a wide array of classic and modern phaser tones. Controls for Rate, Width, and Feedback shape the sweep, and a D-P-V blend selects between four-stage and six-stage phasing voicings for everything from subtle, watery movement to deep, resonant, vocal sweeps. The all-analog signal path gives warm, musical phasing reminiscent of revered vintage units, and the Feedback control adds resonance and intensity for more pronounced, liquid effects. Versatile and easy to dial, it covers gentle shimmer through lush, swirling modulation. It suits players wanting warm, flexible analog phaser tones, from understated rhythm animation to dramatic resonant sweeps, across rock, funk, ambient, and classic styles in a compact, well-built pedal.
