Caroline Guitar Company Somersault

Lo-Fi Modulatory

This one sparks joy! The SOMERSAULT is the chorus-y/vibrato-y/faux-rotary device Caroline customers have asked us to make for years. So now 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 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, Caroline Guitar Company encourages 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 Caroline’s 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.
