Caroline Guitar Company Somersault
Caroline Guitar Company · pedal
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.
