GFI System Orca

Gfi System · pedal

The GFI System Orca is a compact delay from the Singaporean boutique maker, packing four of the company's core delay algorithms into a small enclosure: Digital for clean, precise, uncoloured repeats; Tape for warm, saturated echoes that darken and wobble as they decay; Diffuse for smeared, washed-out repeats that blur into ambient texture; and Ambiental for the most atmospheric, spacious tails. An LCD screen and multi-function knobs -- which turn, push, hold and twist -- handle parameter editing, expression mapping, secondary controls and global options without menu-diving. It supports mono operation over standard TS cables and stereo via TRS, with preset storage and MIDI for live recall.
