You're canadian but it comes out to $400. Since I'm Canadian it would also take me one step close to an all Canadian board with Dr Scientist, Fairfield, and Union Tube. With the exchange rate it's about $400 so being a bit cautious on that but it seems like the best reverb going. Rm-1n is one of the most useful pedals I've played.Īwesome, thanks for the feedback! I've also checked out the thread on the RM-1N and it seems to check all the boxes for me. The kickdisk is way less graceful than an expression pedal but it gets the job done. There are expression pedal jacks for both the master Frequency and the LFO rate. I love laying down some pads with that and then using my foot to drop the depth down and play riffs over it. The Interstellar Orbiter is a dual resonant filter controlled by a single LFO that sweeps each filter in opposite directions. Depth at max is a huge wave of fuzzy reverb that swallows all your notes and spits out dreamy soundscapes. It makes everything sound so huge even with the depth all the way down. Expression pedal inputs for Rate and Frequency controls let you shape your sound on the fly. I keep the mix at noon and just enough pre and post gain to give it just a little hair. Like the other Earthquaker pedals I have, build quality seems good.Neonblack wrote:I got a kickdisk for mine and put it on the depth control. I'd just note that it is easy to get something much more subtle as well with lower intensity, resonance, and mix values. The resonance can get pretty insane on this thing, you hear that in the video demos, the very vocal formant sound. You'll need to set somewhere in the middle as modulation of really highs or really lows will be respectively, not very noticeable or nearly muting your signal. However, a work-a-round is to just set the expression pedal whereever you want frequency-wise and turn up the rate. As is, to switch modes you'd have to unplug and replug. Now I think one improvement this pedal could have is to have a switch for rate and freq expression. So ultimately why I’m returning it is because I bought it intending to use it as a filter effect, but it turns out this is more like an interesting modulation pedal that’s a bit too clear sounding for my tastes. Adjust the intensity of one filter to taste and use an expression pedal to sweep the second to create some awesome moving center point phase effects. Re LFO: obviously, it is made more for this. It’s about as wide as a standard EQD pedal with top mounted jacks is, and just a smidge shorter length-wise than my twin pedal layout boss pedals (re-20, rc-20). The Interstellar Orbiter is a knob twiddlers dream with loads of possibilities It can do everything from wah emulation to complex vocal formant filter and. Totally fine for Jerry Cantrell Wah, but less for adult movie soundtrack wah. This doesn't give a totally classic wah sound, even with resonance low, it seems to have some pronounced resonance or drive. One of the other pedals can actually also do wah (Boss SY-300), but by adding the Orbiter, I can do both at once. Re pseudo-wah: I have my expression pedal routed to 3 pedals via a Mission Engineering Expressionator rather than have a wah on board. I managed to find a 100K expression pedal (good luck on the 1M reverse) but it was over 100 which is just way more than I would spend on an expression pedal. Main things I want this for are a pseudo-wah and the more intended, LFO modulated frequency. According to the manual the Interstellar Orbiter wants an expression pedal with 100K linear for Frequency and 1M reverse-logarithmic for Rate. You'll notice in messing with the knobs that each filter has a different sound. The top three controls (Rate, Direct, and Frequency) affect both filters, and then, as the marking indicate, the remaining are for filter A and B. Interstellar Orbiter Dual Resonant Filter Guitar Effects Pedal and Octoskull T-Shirt Large Black Specifications: Power: standard 9 volt DC power supply with a. Q3 and Q4 provide similar control for the LFO modulation. The Frequency pot wiper ought to provide enough voltage for transistor bases so Id check what you get for the full sweep of that pot. the instruction ( <-pdf-file) says that i can use two expression pedals with it. Of the transistors, Q1 & Q2 set the filter centre frequency according to the control voltage from the Frequency pot (this can be an expression pedal). Just got one of these and I haven't seen it discussed much here.īut it is a dual filter pedal controlled by an LFO or expression pedal. i just bought the interstellar orbiter and really like it.
