Kaleidoscopes combines classic modulation pedals – phaser, flanger, tremolo and chorus – into a multi-effect playground for colour and movement.

Its analog-style modulation is based on musician-favourite analog units, guitar pedals and vintage tape FX. Each of the two independent engines includes all four effects and can be cascaded in series for deep, evolving sounds or run in parallel for ultra-wide stereo effects and imaging. Dynamic triggering lets the effects react to your playing in real time: chop synth rhythms with tremolo, change mod rates with guitar strums or trigger sweeps from drums.
