Arcing Prisms - frequency shifter delay

Post by Taylor Livingston »

Here's a new pedal I'm introducing today. Arcing Prisms combines a frequency shifter and a comb filter/delay line, locked together in a spiraling feedback loop of warped modulation.

Read more about it and hear it in action here:

Looking forward to hearing what you think!

Looks sick and sounds unique.
Is this FV1 magic, or some other chip? :snax:

waiting for a report, the audio clips sound sick and the freq range seems really wide.

Thanks everyone, glad you like it.

Hey thanks! I recently became aware of your pedals and really dig what you're doing.

I think this one may have more niche appeal, but it was really kind of a "something for me" project, so I've already been surprised by the level of interest. The initial idea came from trying to recreate something like the "Bleen" patch on the Lexicon Vortex I used to have many years ago, which was a ring modulator inside a delay. The frequency shifter approach turned out to be more versatile since it can also do a lot of more subtle stuff and not just the total Mars radio of the Vortex program.

Taylor, can the delay be dialed out so it can only be used as a frequency shifter?

Yep, if you turn the delay knob all the way down the delay and feedback path are bypassed, so you can use the frequency shifter by itself.

I came here to ask the exact same question as Chank.
Definitely gonna jump on it when this virus stuff is over, lately I've been playing a lot trying to recreate with guitar and pedals the metallic/resonant character of mbiras style instruments, this is gonna be super useful.
