vongon pedal Vongon Solarfaze multi-band saturation and detuning effect

SOLARFAZE is a stereo audio processor that carries your sound across a sunlit landscape of phase and tone. it combines multi-band saturation with an envelope-controlled detune chorus, creating warmth, shimmer, and stereo dimension

at the heart of the SATURATE circuit is a three-band processor designed to move smoothly from subtle warmth and compression to rich harmonic enhancement and heavy breakup. each band (BASS, MID, and TREB) features independent drive and output level controls, letting you shape harmonic content across the spectrum while maintaining balance in the mix. each band’s frequency range is also adjustable, enabling precise tailoring to your instrument or voice

the DETUNE section delivers a wide stereo chorus by pitch-shifting the left and right channels in opposite directions. the detune amount can be dynamically modulated by the input envelope, so the stereo spread responds to your playing, ranging from gentle shimmer to dramatic detuning

SOLARFAZE adapts easily to many contexts. on guitar, it acts as a powerful tone-shaping tool - drive each frequency band differently for stacked, multi-band distortion that stays articulate and clear. as an end-of-chain processor, it can blend flexible saturation and detune modulation across your entire mix, whether you want subtle harmonic lift or a bold creative effect. use a single band at a time to build layered loops, with each band occupying its own space in the spectrum for sonic clarity

additional features include a built-in NOISE GATEfor high-gain settings and flexible effect routing that allows SATURATE to run before DETUNE or vice versa. the pedal supports both analog buffered bypass for zero-latency pass-through and DSP bypass for completely silent effect toggling. MIDI control extends the possibilities further, with nine onboard user preset slots and remote adjustment of every parameter
