I love my Whetstone, but this has me seriously considering the merits of a second phaser.

We can trade in the big box version for a discount, right?

Hopefully :P

either way ill be selling my one and getting this, i like the smaller footprint.
Looks like the only difference is an extra rate selection? (other than shifting some of the knobs around)

Main led is no longer the rate led. It now has a separate led which shows the rate, even in bypass. Otherwise it's the same pedal.

Same ranges, added feature is an lfo kill switch so you can use it as a fixed filter.

I just tried Grand Orbiter in the store and it looks like a perfect phaser for me. And this small box version is right on time, can't wait till it hits the stores.

Yup this'll be my 4th grand orbiter, gotta stop selling that pedal when I clearly love it so much.

Love that new graphic too, and the separate rate LED

I just wish y'all included an expression control to go along with that fixed mode, that seems natural

I'm assuming that would negate the ability to put it into the smaller enclosure?
I think it's cool they even added it in the first place

Anyway, preordered that shit!

But how slow would it be able to go? Any demos that'd show that?

I'll be picking up one of these for sure. I sold a Grand Orbiter that had been on my board for over 3 years and have missed it ever since. I've owned numerous other (nice) phasers, but none that I've liked as much.

Strangely enough, the 2 things I didn't like about the original Grand Orbiter were the size and the fact that the LED was tied to the Rate. Thanks for reading my mind Jamie!
