Swirls 80s Rack Effect Chain Pedal

Ghost Note Audio Swirls

Rack up a towering 80s tone in a compact pedal format with Swirls from Ghost Note Audio, a digital effect pedal that combines chorus, pitch-shifting, and compression for big rack sound in a small package. Giving you a comprehensive signal chain of all three effects, Swirls offers a ton of creative potential with a decidedly 80s-inspired tone that recalls the shimmering chorus sounds of Michael Landau and beyond. Swirls combines a Tri-Stereo Chorus emulation, micro pitch-shifter effect, and a hard-hitting VCA-style compressor, making a huge impact on your sound in an ultra-portable form factor. The Chorus gives you a detailed emulation of the original device with modern refinements, while the pitch shifter effect recalls classically thick, chorus-like tones without the movement of a traditional chorus by adding multiple repitched copies around your input signal's frequency. Finally, the compressor offers an aggressive feed-forward design in front of both effects, making it easy to push to the forefront of a mix with wide, thick tones.

Controls for the chorus modulation and character are provided, while the pitch shifter offers voice and detune amount controls, with both effects giving you independent blend controls. The compressor is similarly comprehensive, with Attack, Threshold, and Ratio controls, and can be completely disabled with Ratio set to its lowest position. This huge range of effects goes even further thanks to this pedal being part of Ghost Note's Daedelus series, which lets you easily swap the firmware and faceplate of your unit to explore entirely different effects from their line up. The pedal also features 3.5mm TRS inputs for expression and MIDI control, as well as a preset switch for toggling between two sets of settings instantly. If you're after that classic 80s sound or just want a versatile modulation effect with shape-shifting capabilities, Swirls from Ghost Note Audio is a great choice on any pedal board.
