The Somersault is a seriously cool little modulator – it’s not your standard chorus. Caroline nailed a vibe that’s perfect for adding subtle movement to clean guitars or dialing in some delightfully wonky textures. If you like a bit of grit and unpredictability in your modulation, this is a fantastic, characterful option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Havoc introduces a random element to the modulation depth and speed, creating a more unpredictable and organic feel – it's like a controlled malfunction.
Absolutely! The Somersault handles low frequencies well, adding a subtle thickness or a more pronounced vibrato effect to bass lines depending on your settings.
The Tone control isn't a typical EQ; it shapes the harmonic content of the modulation, subtly altering the character from brighter, more shimmering sounds to darker, more vintage-inspired tones.
