Named after company owner Mike Trombley’s birth name given to his grandmother who embodies the values of the Blackfeet (Amsskaapipiikuni) people, the NativeAudio Pretty Bird Woman is a two-knob mono digital chorus/vibrato with four presets.
The format of this pedal follows a template shared by the company’s Ghost Ridge Reverb and other recent releases; it’s a “less-is-more” approach to controls that prioritizes quality tones and yet provides enough functionality for a palette of sonic options.
The values of the Depth and Rate knobs were engineered differently for the Chorus and Vibrato effect in order to optimize their range and action. The mode can be changed by holding the bypass switch and turning the Dept (mode) knob to the left or right.
