Caroline Guitar Company Arigato

Caroline Guitar Company · pedal

The Caroline Guitar Company ARIGATO is a 4-stage analog OTA-based phaser and vibrato pedal designed with intentionally off-balance LFO behavior for quirky, expressive modulation. Based on the Somersault platform but modified to deliver phaser and vibrato rather than chorus. The dual LFOs can be pushed into wild, unstable territory for pitch-bending vibrato effects, and with Feedback turned up produces pseudo auto-wah sounds. Running 100% wet enables pure pitch vibrato with no dry signal blend. Boutique US construction.
