nspired by the ultra-modern line 14 of the Paris Métro and its sleek platforms of glass, steel and tile that add all kinds of cool sonic artifacts to the space, the MÉTÉORE™ (pronounced may-tay-or) is our take on reverb.

We’ve kept your original signal path analog and pure, while giving you overdrive and regeneration controls to take you from spring reverb sounds to something much bigger. The controls are very interactive with each other, and as per Caroline tradition, this pedal can get VERY loud. You know, something something power, responsibility, blah blah blah…

Manual

Meteore Black

From seasick wobbles to glitchy bleep-bloops and “I think I can” huffs and puffs, the crazy sounding stuff was actually the easy part for us. So once you’re done maxing out different settings to hear what kinds of bizarre wowie-zowie sounds you can make with this thing, we encourage you to explore the subtleties of how each control interacts with the others, and the remarkable range of sounds that you can quickly and intuitively dial in. Gentle, lagging vibrato, 1980s style choruses, and even some doubling effects are possible…and then, turn up & go wild again.

SOMERSAULT™ applies a similar framework as our popular KILOBYTE™ and MÉTÉORE™ pedals. While the digital chip sets the delayed wet signal, the initial gain stage, dry signal, LFO, control set and output mixing stage are entirely analog. The end result sounds rich and fat, with the same robust feel and power our customers have come to expect from our work.

Somersault Lo-Fi Modulator

The long story short is that this thing is an unrepentant, unapologetic distortion pedal that is totally nasty and fun. This Cannon comes pre-loaded with balls (pun alert!) and is capable of going from cranked, lightly dirty amp tones to the sound of a furry Godzilla devouring a junkyard full of broken a/c window units.

It’s different than the original, which was based on the classic ’70s fuzzstortions we grew up playing. It’s different from our Haymaker™, which is a wide range drive pedal based around the rotation of a clipping network into different locations in the circuit, and which is intended to respond and feel like an extension of your amp. This pedal is really about rocking your socks off.

Wave Cannon MKII

Ein Phaser, selbst für diejenigen, die normalerweise keine Phaser mögen – Arigato™ liefert unglaubliche Modulation, Bandbreite und Wärme.  

ARIGATO versucht weder, die Klänge der Vergangenheit wiederzubeleben, noch, auf dem neuesten Stand der Technik zu sein. Es ist eine Momentaufnahme der Zukunft, die uns als Kinder versprochen wurde. Es ist unser Dankeschön an die Kunden, die uns jahrelang um einen Phaser gebeten haben. (Ernsthaft? Ein Phaser???)  

Während er die luftige Psychedelik klassischer Geräte beherrscht, wurde dieser Phaser entwickelt, um zu rumpeln, zu wackeln, zu beben, zu klappern und zu brüllen. Er kann vollständig wet für interessante Vibrato-Sounds eingesetzt werden, mit maximalem Feedback für Auto-Wah-Sweeps sorgen und bietet eine breite Palette an nuancierten Klangfarben, die sich dynamisch durch die Interaktion der Regler entfalten.  

Wir sind ziemlich begeistert von diesem Release – das erste Pedal, das Philippe je besaß, war ein Phaser, unser Team ist verrückt nach Phase-Shifting, und diese Veröffentlichung fühlt sich an wie nach Hause kommen.  

Für alle, die dachten, sie würden keinen Chorus mögen, sich dann aber in unser Somersault™ verliebt haben – wir glauben, ihr werdet dieses Ding auch lieben. Wir stehen zwar auf klassische One-Knob-Geräte mit ihrem kompromisslosen WHOOSH-Ansatz, aber es gibt eine Welt voller subtiler Nuancen und unterschiedlicher Bewegungen zu entdecken – und Arigato ist bereit dafür.

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.
