Frequently Asked Questions
The kill switch completely removes the LFO from the modulation, leaving a resonant filter effect, creating bell-like tones or a pulsing, almost synth-like sound.
While it can achieve some subtle modulation, the Grand Orbiter's sweep range is primarily designed for more dramatic, swirling phaser sounds; it's not ideal for gentle chorus.
Yes, the toggle changes the modulation waveform – 'Phase' provides a classic phaser swirl, while 'Vibrato' creates a more sinusoidal, almost tremolo-like effect.
