Caroline Parabola Tremolo Pedal

Caroline Parabola Tremolo Pedal

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. 

Highlights

• GAIN controls the first preamp stage; for cleaner sounds, leave this set low (though what fun is that?). SPEED and RANGE set the Tremolo LFO rate. DEPTH affects the intensity of the effect and the shape of the waveform. VOLUME is the overall output after the second preamp stage. It can get LOUD.
• The MODE switch allows for classic, dramatic amplitude modulation tremolo (AM) or a filtered modulation option for a subtle yet fun voicing.
• HAVOC™ juices up the speed and cranks up the depth for momentary intensity bursts of the effect, or with the DEPTH set to zero, for chops on demand!
