A phaser even for people who don't normally like phasers, Arigato™ delivers incredible modulation, range, and warmth. 

ARIGATO neither seeks to recapture the sounds of the past, nor to be state of the art. It is a snapshot of a future we were promised as children. It is our way of saying thank you to customers who for years asked us for a phaser. (Really? A phaser???)

While capable of the airy psychedelia of classic units, this one is meant to rumble, wobble, shake, rattle, and roar. It is also capable of going fully wet for interesting vibrato sounds, max feedback for auto-wah sweeps, and a wide range of responsive shades throughout each control as they interact with the others.

We’re pretty excited about this release; the first pedal Philippe ever owned was a phaser, our team is a bunch of phase shifting nuts, and releasing this feels like coming home.

For those of you who didn't think you'd like a chorus, but fell in love with our Somersault™ pedal - we think you're going to really love this thing too. While we love classic one-knob units and their ALL CAPS WHOOSH approach to phasing, there's a world of subtle shading and different movement to be explored, and Arigato is here for it.

Arigato Phaser/Vibrato

What is more powerful: the pedal, or the mighty foot of the player who steps upon it?

For years we have had players ask us if our pedals are appropriate for use in praise and worship settings. We have considered such a question blasphemous, as Crom is an angry deity who lives inside a mountaintop, who doesn’t concern himself with the matters of mere mortals, and cannot be bothered to hear their pleas for help, their prayers for vengeance, or anything that might resemble a song of praise or devotion.

CROM is a BC184 Supa Tone Bender style fuzzstortion like our original Olympia™, but with a classic tweed amp style tone control (MOUNTAIN) that interacts with the SWORD (gain) control. It is a LOT less lossy and less scooped than the classic M*ff style tone control in these circuits, giving the pedal an immediate and punchy response. A TURBO button on the side gives it extra power and gain.

Crom

When we talked about doing a special "California Pizza" for our good friends at Cottonwood Music, we initially resisted the idea, as we didn’t want to make a pedal that might make you feel like you’re stuck eating a thin crust pizza at the airport for a layover. We wanted to offer our distinctive pizza fuzz drive, but with a late 1980s California flair and sound. We’re talking small town kids with big dreams and bigger hair arriving on the Sunset Strip. Doing the Neutron Dance. Beverly Hills Cop II. Shiny, but also dirty on the underside. Think back to Night Flight, Cannon Films productions, "tastefully" airbrushed photos and bands touring with road cases of ozone depleting hair-spray. Now *that’s* the spirit of the CALIFORNIA 'ZA

We tweaked the internals with the gain control of our Hawaiian Pizza and used some VERY high gain transistors to give this thing lots of extra heat, extra hair, and extra shine, 80s California style. Keep the "Bear" control low and it’s actually bright and sparkly at the (relatively) lower gain settings. Feed those chord strums to your rack unit choruses and delays and write a power ballad for all the slow dances at the prom. Turn it all the way up and it’s chewy and roaring just like our Hawaiian Pizza fuzz but with some extra nastiness bordering on profane. But roll it back just a touch, and surprise! You’re getting the sound of peeling out of the suburban shopping malls in your IROC-Z, jean jacket and Vuarnets, cause nobody in that food court’s gonna tell you what to do! And with that "Cocktails and Dreams" colorway and graphics, your pedal board is going to appreciate that shot of polish and danger that the California 'Za is gonna bring.

Should you want those wooly, nouveau classic Pizza tones, starve the palm trees, crank the bear, and get those broken fuzz sounds. If the California 'Za can’t be the first pedal in your signal chain, fear not: just switch the internal pickup simulator on and you’ll be ready for stacking with other pedals or even having a wireless system before this thing.

California 'ZA

PARABOLA™ is the sonic equivalent of riding your space mammoth through giant puddles in the astral plane while feeding it caffeinated energy drinks.

Think of this as your rig’s new “tremolo channel”. We’ve adapted the deliciously sloshy, transistor-based LFO and distinctive waveform from our favorite “West German” device, modified its speed and depth to match and go beyond those from your favorite classic amps, and then added pre and post effect gain stages for both overdrive and volume boost. Then we offer the classic, dramatic amplitude modulation (AM) you might expect, or a filtered modulation (FM) that is subtle, beautiful, and less invasive on your playing.

Your pedal was dreamed, designed and created at our small batch distortery™ in Columbia, S.C. Thank you for supporting our work and putting it to use.

If you’re reading this, you must be getting ready to party like it’s 1983.

We’ve kept your original, dry signal path analog and pure, then given you a +21db boost/overdrive preamp to smash a low fidelity digital delay chip designed for karaoke machines and kids’ toys into smeared, repeated glory. Yeah, we’re going back in time – back to when they measured data in KILOBYTES!

This pedal is VERY capable of fun runaway oscillations, both by turning up the summation knob, or a controlled, high-pass filtered oscillation from the Havoc momentary foot switch. If you’ve ever struggled to make your delays come through prominently in the mix, or lost definition from your original signal, the attack and level controls can allow you to dial up everything from crisp, clean slapbacks to dirty, muted echoes and loud, powerful repeats. A beautiful, subtle modulation circuit courtesy of our friend Jack DeVille also sweetens the repeats with just the right amount of movement.
