Vongon Solarfaze

The Vongon Solarfaze is a stereo audio processor combining multiband saturation with an envelope controlled detune chorus, bringing warmth, shimmer and a wider sense of space to guitar, synthesisers and other audio sources. Its combination of harmonic shaping and stereo modulation makes it equally suited to adding subtle depth to clean tones or pushing sounds into more pronounced, textured territory.

The Saturate section uses a three band circuit with independent drive and output level controls for the bass, mid and treble frequencies. This allows you to shape each part of the signal separately, moving from gentle warmth and compression through to richer saturation and breakup. It's a particularly useful approach for adding character without losing control over the overall tonal balance.

Alongside this, the Detune section creates a wide stereo chorus by pitch shifting the left and right channels in opposite directions. The effect ranges from a subtle shimmer that adds movement to a sound, through to more dramatic detuning and expansive stereo textures. Combined, the two sections offer plenty of scope for transforming everything from guitar and bass to synthesisers and studio signals.

With stereo processing, compatibility with instrument and line level signals, and a choice of analogue buffered or DSP bypass, Solarfaze is a versatile addition to a pedalboard or studio setup. MIDI connectivity provides further integration options, while the compact enclosure and soft touch footswitches keep operation straightforward.
