Somersault
A lo-fi chorus/vibrato/faux-rotary modulator with an analog control path and a digital chip setting the wet signal, ranging from gentle vibrato to glitchy, wobbly textures.
About this pedal
Somersault blends an analog gain stage, dry signal, LFO, and output mixing with a digital delay chip that shapes the wet signal, following the same design approach as Caroline’s Kilobyte and Météore pedals. It ranges from subtle 1980s-style chorus and gentle lagging vibrato to seasick wobbles and glitchy modulation extremes, and has been one of the brand’s best-selling pedals.
