  • I couldn't leave NAMM without covering two of the most exiting new pedals I saw there. I love Caroline Guitar Co. I love Philippe (who is hysterically funny), and I love their two upcoming products, the Somersault Lo-Fi Modulator and Megabyte Lo-Fi Delay. So let's dive into a talk with the brain behind it all, and hear the pedals in action.

    Thank you for this man! They both sound so good and Philippe is the best. I already knew I'd be buying the Megabyte because the Kilobyte is my favorite delay ever, but it's awesome to finally hear the Somersault too. Sounds amazing!

      Happy to be able to deliver, my dude! Philippe is a sweetheart. I just wanna live in his sphere of awesomeness. He's just so kind and sooooo funny! 😂Both Megabyte and Somersault are gonna kill. Somersault is honestly one of the finest modulation pedals I've heard in my lifetime so far. The chorus part of it just sounds monumental ❤

      No doubt! I always check for a new Stefan video, because the notification doesn't always notify.😕 But, today I got great news from one of my favorite companies.
      I can't imagine ever taking my Kilobyte and Météore off my board, as they are my most used time pedals. I can stack any effect into, or after them, and get awesome sounds.
      Even when I get a Megabyte, I may just run it into the other two, for some dual Byte Madness.....

    • @alexj3007
      @alexj3007 5 років тому +1

      CorbCorbin I hear you dude! I’m waiting for my income tax to come in so I can buy the Meteore, Kilobyte, and parabola. All thanks to Stefan! And when the megabyte comes out, im gonna buy that too haha

    • @CorbCorbin
      @CorbCorbin 5 років тому

      Alex Jaskula
      Yeah, the Parabola is next on my list. I have a Subdecay Vagabond Harmonic Trem, but that Parabola does some unique things, and of course that Havoc switch is always an awesome option to have. They should be standard, on all pedals. 😀

    Looks and sounds great. I have been searching for a good chorus ever since I sold my Boss and have yet to find it. The closest I have come is the Keeley Seafoam which is pretty awesome but still doesn't have that thick pretty tone that the Boss had so I think I might have to check out that Somersault and yeah, Philippe seems like a really cool dude.

    • @thepedalzone
      @thepedalzone  5 років тому +1

      The extended delay time really opens up a ton of new sounds. Love the way the modulation and havoc switch react once you get into the longer delay times. Just infinite waves of soothing lo-fi ambience.

    Updating the Kilo!! Somersault modulation!!!
    Awesome Sauce all over.
    Beautiful sounds. That Sommersault, is very interesting, and the Megabyte is adding to the Kilo. I'm behind, I still need a Parabola!
    Why are his pedals not on any other channels so far?

    • @thepedalzone
      @thepedalzone  5 років тому +2

      Caroline are the best! The only explanation I have for there not being more content out there about these pedals is that Philippe's manly presence can be intimidating. Not like in a bad way, but his rugged handsomeness and virile presence just makes you feel like he's unapproachable. That's at least my theory 😂❤

  • @joshallensarm
    @joshallensarm 5 років тому

    Hey Stefan could you let us know what the controls do? Evidently the top right is lag time and the bottom right is speed, what about the other two? Really excited about the Somersault, was hoping it would release a little earlier!

    • @thepedalzone
      @thepedalzone  5 років тому

      I honestly can't remember. I believe that sonar/wave-thing is depth, but can't remember what the top left control is (one of them is depth, that's for sure). The right toggle switches between triangle and square wave, and the left toggle switches between a bright and dark modulation voicing. Somersault is gonna be worth the wait. I was completely blown away by how great it sounded.

    • @benjaminkerley
      @benjaminkerley 5 років тому +1

      Ben from Caroline here. The knobs from the top left are Mix (goes fully wet for Vibrato), Delay Time (lag), Speed, and Depth. Switches are bright/dark and wave shape.

    • @thepedalzone
