Caroline Guitar Company Somersault – Chorus & Vibrato

Caroline Guitar Company Somersault

The Caroline Guitar Company Somersault is the chorus-y/vibrato-y/faux-rotary device. It’s the pedal that the company has been asked to make for years. It’s time.

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 the brand.

Try 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 other. Also the remarkable range of sounds that you can quickly and intuitively dial in.

Somersault applies a similar framework as the now popular KILOBYTE while the digital chip sets the delayed wet signal, the initial gain stage, dry signal, LFO, control set and output stage are entirely analog.

The end result sounds rich and fat, with the same robust effect our customers have come to expect from the brand’s pedals.

Controls:

• Mix: Go from completely dry (counterclockwise) to 100% wet (clockwise).
• Offset: Sets the time difference between the modulated and dry signals – higher settings will have an increasingly dramatic effect
• Depth:Sets the intensity of the wave on the modulated line
• Speed: Sets the rate of the oscillator sweep. DEPTH sets the intensity of the wave on the modulated line
• Switch dark / bright,
• Switch sine / wave.
