![]() ![]() Like the other Earthquaker pedals I have, build quality seems good. I'd just note that it is easy to get something much more subtle as well with lower intensity, resonance, and mix values. The resonance can get pretty insane on this thing, you hear that in the video demos, the very vocal formant sound. The LFO stheyeps each filter in opposite directions and has a wide range. You'll need to set somewhere in the middle as modulation of really highs or really lows will be respectively, not very noticeable or nearly muting your signal. There are expression pedal jacks for both the master Frequency and the LFO rate. However, a work-a-round is to just set the expression pedal whereever you want frequency-wise and turn up the rate. As is, to switch modes you'd have to unplug and replug. Now I think one improvement this pedal could have is to have a switch for rate and freq expression. Re LFO: obviously, it is made more for this. Totally fine for Jerry Cantrell Wah, but less for adult movie soundtrack wah. This doesn't give a totally classic wah sound, even with resonance low, it seems to have some pronounced resonance or drive. One of the other pedals can actually also do wah (Boss SY-300), but by adding the Orbiter, I can do both at once. Re pseudo-wah: I have my expression pedal routed to 3 pedals via a Mission Engineering Expressionator rather than have a wah on board. EarthQuaker Devices even threw in dedicated expression pedal jacks for the Rate and Frequency controls for precise, on-the-fly sound shaping, plus a Direct dial so you blend your original signal with both filters for a three-signal attack. Main things I want this for are a pseudo-wah and the more intended, LFO modulated frequency. You'll notice in messing with the knobs that each filter has a different sound. The top three controls (Rate, Direct, and Frequency) affect both filters, and then, as the marking indicate, the remaining are for filter A and B. That first line was all I needed to know I need one.Just got one of these and I haven't seen it discussed much here.īut it is a dual filter pedal controlled by an LFO or expression pedal. ![]() These vocal formants will vary depending on the settings of each individual control and the rate at which they are swept! These are just a few suggestions, the Interstellar Orbiter is vast get ready to get free. You can also create some very vocal sounds by using the LFO to control both filters and fine tuning the resonance, intensity and master frequency. Adjust the intensity of one filter to taste and use an expression pedal to sweep the second to create some awesome moving center point phase effects. You can set the intensity of both filters to zero and use the Frequency to manually create wide filter sweeps or use an expression pedal for unique wah tones. With all of this control, the Interstellar Oribiter is a knob twiddler's dream with loads of possibilities! It can do everything from wah emulation, complex vocal formant filter and even a fairly convincing rotary speaker effect. The mix control adjusts the volume for the mix of each filter. When the LFO intensity is raised the filter sweep is wider, the center frequency is raised and the resonance becomes more pronounced The resonance becomes more "ringy" as you dial it up and more mellow as you dial it back. EARTHQUAKER DEVICES INTERSTELLAR ORBITERThe pedal is in good condition and comes with the original box/packaging. ![]() Each filter is voiced differently and has controls for LFO intensity, resonance and mix. So ultimately why I’m returning it is because I bought it intending to use it as a filter effect, but it turns out this is more like an interesting modulation pedal that’s a bit. The LFO sweeps each filter in opposite directions and has a wide range. It’s about as wide as a standard EQD pedal with top mounted jacks is, and just a smidge shorter length-wise than my twin pedal layout boss pedals (re-20, rc-20). There are expression pedal jacks for both the master Frequency and the LFO rate. ![]() It has three universal controls: a master Frequency control that governs the center frequency of both filters, a master Rate control for the LFO and the Direct control for blending in the unaffected dry signal. The Interstellar Orbiter is a dual resonant analog filter controlled by a single LFO that sweeps each filter in OPPOSITE directions. ![]()
