This is why the Caroline Guitar Company Arigato Phaser Vibrato is my favorite of their pedals since the Somersault was released, and that’s saying a LOT.

But this isn’t an average phaser pedal. The Arigato is both phaser and vibrato pedal with options for square or triangular LFO, speed from glass-ketchup-bottle-slow to off-the-rails jitters. The feedback control recycles output from a later stage back to an earlier one (this is something you might need to hear to get). And, of course, it has Caroline’s famous havoc switch for “all gas, no brakes.”

welcome to get offset my name is Emily
and your teeth
they’re blindingly beautiful today
congratulations I think you’re taking
really good care of them I’ll know what
else to say
I’m here today with the Caroline Guitar
Company Arigato it is their new vibrato
puddle and you might notice that mine is
kind of inverted colors of what’s
available that’s because I bought mine
in the presale yes I bought it I wanted
it I have it I love the look and I love
the sound as well so let’s go ahead and
get into the controls I’m going to set
some things back into normal places
uh first we have upper left that’s the
mix it goes from bone dry to all wet
I don’t know why I said that like that
next we have aim aim establishes
intensity and frequency of the overall
effect
down here we have speed that controls
the rate of the LFO
and we have feedback
what feedback does is it recycles output
from a later stage into an earlier stage
format more vocal effect
um and that’s just something that I
think you’ll you’ll hear as we progress
through the demo we also have two
toggles here modulation
and when that’s up you get a more of a
60s vibrato sound
and then we have the waveform select
there we also have havoc
which just all
all out crazy wild effect all right
let’s go ahead and get into it I am
playing My American Vintage 2 Series
Jazz Master big thanks to Sweetwater for
this one and I’m using the Benson mixed
wave Chimera plug-in so I’ll have
affiliate links to all three of these
items in the video description
so let’s go ahead and get into it I know
Philippe from Caroline says that no demo
is worth much if it doesn’t have an open
e or a so
we’re going to start with True North
that’s all the toggles approximately all
the way
up

waveform
[Music]
I’m actually going to go to one of the
recommended sample settings this one’s
described as behind the waterfall was a
cave where the cyborg fugitives were
holding an elegant dinner party
all right
[Music]
not a huge fan of square waves
[Music]
I really like that though
[Music]
what a genre of music to play when
you’ve just trimmed your fingernails
good luck to me what am I thinking
where is the nail and why is it not
catching why
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
hello
foreign
[Music]
let’s look at another one of these
sample settings this one’s described as
the sound from the cassette would gently
wobble
revealing
some defect
in the mechanism
thank you
ooh oh I like that
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
with that one the feedback really
affects the amount of that warble
[Music]
this next one is described as with this
device both your lungs and your Rifts
breathe this planet’s heavy air hmm
oh
ah
a
all right
