Description
Chroma Console is a flexible multi-effect pedal that takes inspiration from the eccentricity, grit, and lively instability of beloved vintage recording technology, combines it with brand new sounds, and delivers it all through an intuitive user interface that puts wide-ranging sonic experimentation at your fingertips. Easily re-order effects and experiment with different signal chains—process reverb through a fuzz, run a reverse delay into a pitch shifter, or run the evocative, gritty sound of an aging cassette recorder into a stereo double-tracker. Record knob movements with GESTURE, create ephemeral loops with CAPTURE, and dial in the amount of randomness, chaos, or nostalgic warble that your composition requires with DRIFT.
