A colorful suite of musical effects
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.

resources
Character
Shape and articulate your sound with overdrive, compression, fuzz, and swell effects.
DRIVE Tube-like drive with nothing but sweet spots.
SWEETEN Pleasant preamp that adds EQ, compression, and gentle saturation.
FUZZ Dynamic vintage-voiced fuzz tones.
HOWL Resonant filter fuzz for smooth sustaining tones or synth-like stabs.
SWELL Expressive envelope-triggered volume swells.
MOVEMENT
Warp your sound with modulation inspired by classic studio recording gear and techniques.
DOUBLER Double tracking effect, ranging from tight doubling to short slap-back delay.
VIBRATO Lush pitch modulation. Classic sine wave vibrato to tapelike random warbles.
PHASER Vintage-voiced classic phaser effects. Swirling hypnotic sweeps to pulsing undulation.
TREMOLO Colorful amplitude modulation. Classic guitar amp shimmer to a hard, square-wave chop.
PITCH Pitch shifting from -1 Octave to +1 Octave, with lo-fi grit and gliding sweeps.
DIFFUSION
Expand, abstract, and diffuse your sound with time-based effects. Equal parts vintage and contemporary.
CASCADE Heightened aspects of a bucket-brigade analog delay. Dark tonality, modulation, and droning oscillation.
REELS Well-worn tape echo with bright evolving echoes, gritty tape degradation, and exciting oscillations.
SPACE Versatile reverberation effect ranging from tight recording echo chambers to massive clouds of notes.
COLLAGE Wild, spontaneous delay with pitch bends, granular loops, and syncopated glitches.
REVERSE Reverse delay with variable playback speed/pitch (-1 Octave to +1 Octave).
TEXTURE
Sculpt, squash, and break your signal with a collection of textural effects.
FILTER Multi-mode filter effect with three selectable filter options: Low-pass, High-pass, or Tilt.
SQUASH Heavy-handed compressor and overdrive that can rein in chains of effects, provide subtle polish, or pleasing grit.
CASSETTE Wow, flutter, warble, tape degradation, and pitch artifacts with profound nostalgic quality.
BROKEN Mangled sounds of motorized audio equipment in need of service.
INTERFERENCE Musical disturbance inspired by telecom network glitches and radio static.
GESTURE
Motion Recording
Harness the creative power of motion recording with GESTURE, a hands-on modulation tool that allows you to achieve knob tweaking performance techniques without being locked to your pedalboard. Create dramatic pitch bends, bursts of self-oscillation, blooming saturation and more.
Drift
Musical Instability
Dial in the amount of randomness, chaos, or nostalgic warble that your composition requires. Inspired by the captivating eccentricities of vintage musical equipment and the charming musical applications of instability and unpredictability.
Capture
Brief Musical Snapshots
Create soft droning pads or looped musical phrases with the press of a single foot switch. CAPTURE is an ephemeral sustainer and looper with up to 30 seconds of record time that can be routed before or after Chroma Console’s effects.
Dual bypass
Flexible Bypass Control
Assign select modules to the bypass foot switch, allowing you to engage or disengage some effects while leaving others active. This configuration can be saved per preset, and can be combined with Trails mode to great creative effect.
midi
Highly-configurable MIDI implementation over DIN and USB-C. MIDI sync, full control over effects, and instant preset recall with program changes.
Expression input
Control any primary knob function with expression control. Save and recall expression assignments in user presets.
stereo I/o
All of Chroma Console's effects can process stereo signals or create a lively stereo image from a mono signal when used in mono-to-stereo configuration.
80 user presets
Save and recall all the sounds you’ve made, just as you remember them.
