The Quasar v4 offers eleven modes paired with a simple control surface. An abundance of non-traditional options are on tap. Rhythmic modulation patterns. Sci-fi discombobulation. Envelope speed control.

Traditional phaser and rotary tones are in the box too, but you want more, right? Something different? Something that stands out?

Quasar Phaser v4

The Starlight MKIII brings back some favorite features of the Starlight DLX and introduces exciting new ones, including through-zero flanging, MIDI control, and savable presets. With an ultra-wide sweep range (0-21ms), the Starlight MKIII offers unparalleled versatility, allowing you to dial in everything from smooth, classic flanging to boldly experimental.

Starlight Flanger MKIII

By analyzing the design, sound and physics of real spring tanks we captured the nuances of tube driven spring reverb. Even something as innocuous as unplugging your guitar cable (kerplangagnangang)  sounds like real deal. A tone control allows you to dial in the perfect timbre. There is also an internal reverb send trimmer serving two purposes- 1. It allows you to turn down for hotter input signals. 2. It does essentially what the dwell control does on an outboard reverb tank. You can turn it up for a more dramatic effect or back it off for subtlety.

Unlike a real spring tank the the decay knob allows you to dampen the springs for shorter reverb or bend the laws of physics resulting in long psychedelic resonating trails.

The clean signal path is all analog. JFET amplifiers carryout the send and recovery of the reverb signal for even more tube like dynamics. The Super Spring Theory is equally at home in front of a clean or dirty amp.

Blackstar w/ Girth

From huge jet plane sweeps to swirly pitch vibrato the Starlight does everything a flanger should and more. This all analog bucket brigade based (MN3209) flanger adds the flexibility of digital control. There’s classic triangle shape modulation and wobbling sine wave for a super deep throb. We’ve also gone beyond the norm and included some of our favorite LFO’s from the Quasar DLX. Triangle/Square mix, Random Sample/hold and Step Triangle. There’s also a manual setting allowing you to use the speed knob to manually control the flanger.

From lush dreamy chorus to a cold metallic clang.
