Grand Orbiter's OTA-based circuit is augmented with a 3-way switch that lets you select between modulation ranges: Rate 1 is slow sweep mode Rate 2 kills the LFO, letting you use Grand Orbiter as a fixed resonant filter Rate 3 is fast sweep mode. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise.The EarthQuaker Devices Grand Orbiter 4-stage phaser pedal serves up a full palette of phasing grooviness that's perfect for guitar - or anything else you'd like to enhance with this classic '70s effect. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Power: The Grand Orbiter can be powered by a standard 9-volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. Since the switching is relay based, it requires power to pass signal.Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed. For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect.For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.Flexi-Switching: This device features Flexi-Switch Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.Vibrato is created by turning the resonance down low. Phase/Vibrato: Cuts the dry signal to create a vibe/vibrato effect depending on the setting of the other controls.Rate 1 is slow mode, rate 2 is LFO kill to use the Orbiter as a fixed resonant filter, rate 3 is fast mode. Rate 1,2,3: Changes the range of the speed control.More resonant clockwise, more subtle counter clockwise. Resonance: Controls the regeneration of the phased signal.Higher peak clockwise, lower peak counter clockwise. Sweep: Controls the frequency peak of the sweep.Faster clockwise, slower counter clockwise. In “Vibrato” mode, this acts as a volume control. Clockwise for more intense phasing, counterclockwise for less. Depth: Controls the amount of phase effect mixed with dry signal.This pedal is 100% analog, true bypass and built by entirely by hand in beachy Akron, Ohio. When in “Vibrato” mode, the dry signal is removed and the Depth controls acts as a volume control. You can also use the Grand Orbiter as a true pitch vibrato with the “Phase/Vibrato” switch. The Resonance provides a wide range of control over regeneration and at higher settings adds a more pronounced and resonant tone. The Sweep control governs the peak frequency of the phased signal’s tone, turned full clockwise the sweep is lively and intense, whereas turning counter clockwise yields a darker, more laid back peak. The Depth control blends the shifted signal in with the dry signal and controls the intensity of the effect. The master Rate control fine tunes the speed of the LFO in each of these modes and the flashing red LED acts as a visual indicator, even when the effect is in bypass mode. It has three way toggle switch to select between the ranges of modulation: Rate 1 is slow sweep mode, Rate 2 kills the LFO and allows you to use the Grand Orbiter as a fixed resonant filter and Rate 3 is fast sweep mode. The Grand Orbiter is a 4 stage OTA-based phaser with a diverse feature set that can go from stationary and resonant to slow and mellow and on through fast and swirly.
