The Vongon Solarfaze redefines stereo processing by merging surgical multi-band saturation with an expressive, dynamic chorus. More than just a drive or modulation pedal, it functions as a complete tonal workstation for guitarists and producers seeking to add depth, warmth, and complex harmonic character.
At its core, the Saturate section provides unparalleled control, dividing your signal into three fully independent bands (Bass, Mid, Treble). Each band offers selectable gain stages—from a subtle boost to heavy breakup—and, critically, five tunable frequency centers. This allows you to surgically drive specific harmonic ranges, creating everything from a transparent lift to a layered, multi-voice distortion that remains articulate.
The Detune chorus generates width by pitch-shifting the left and right channels in opposite directions. Its standout feature is an envelope control, which ties the intensity of the stereo detune effect directly to your playing dynamics. The result is a chorus that breathes and swells organically, from a gentle shimmer to dramatic, wide-throbbing modulation.
Furthering its versatility, the Solarfaze includes a built-in noise gate, flexible effect routing (allowing you to place saturation before or after detune), and full MIDI implementation for parameter control and nine user presets. Housed in a hand-finished walnut enclosure, it’s a powerful and elegant tool for crafting everything from subtle stereo enhancement to vast, sun-drenched soundscapes.
