The Caroline Arigato is a versatile phaser capable of producing a wide range of effects, from classic airy psychedelia to intense, rumbling, vibrating sounds. While other pedals attempt to replicate vintage tones, the Arigato pushes the boundaries—it can do classic phase sounds, but it also offers unique, modern sounds. With features like a fully wet vibrato option, auto-wah style filter sweeps, and a mode switch that mimics a vibe pedal, the Arigato provides creative control and expressive capabilities. Built in small batches in Columbia, S.C., it's meant to be playful, reliable, and inspiring. Plus, it has a havoc switch that Caroline describes as "all gas, no brakes." This Arigato was made in 2022. It is gently used, but it functions 100% as it should. It shows some scuffs and signs of use. The finish is slightly worn on one side of the pedal, and the pervious owner installed velcro on the bottom. It includes its original box and paperwork. More from Caroline Guitar Co: ARIGATO neither seeks to recapture the sounds of the past, nor to be state of the art. It is a snapshot of a future we were promised as children. While capable of the airy psychedelia of classic units, this one is meant to rumble, wobble, shake, rattle, and roar. It is also capable of going fully wet for interesting vibrato sounds, max out feedback for auto-wah style filter sweeps, and a wide range of responsive shades throughout each control as they interact with the others. created at Caroline's small batch distortery in Columbia, S.C. Designer’s notes: "If you have enjoyed our SOMERSAULT lo-fi modulator, then I think you’ll really enjoy ARIGATO. It’s built on a similar framework: an analog LFO that can do some wild stuff and push things beyond their boundaries, a mix control that can go 100% wet, and a havoc control that is all gas,no brakes. "It’s an OTA based analog phaser but with a couple twists – the mode switch changes the capacitors and filter notches to more closely resemble a classic vibe pedal, giving the sweep a bit of an off-balance feel. The bypass on ARIGATO can also be a momentary bypass for instant phasing 'hits' and releases. And the square wave, like the Somersault’s, can push the phasing into audible pumps and overload things. We could have tamed it for noise purposes, but we didn’t want to lose the fun. "With this pedal we recommend starting with everything at 12:00 – 'true north' as we’re fond of calling it – and then adjusting from there to discover how each control interacts with the others."
