Full details

The Aqueduct is a vintage-inspired pitch vibrato with eight modulation modes delivering synth-like sonar pulses, touch-sensitive frequency modulation, gentle rolling pitch-wobbles, steady kosmiche pulsations, rapid trills, slimy sonic squiggles, whammy bar wiggles, pitch bends, pseudo-flange, and anything else your pitch-warped brain can picture in your murky mind’s eye. It features Flexi-Switch Technology, allowing simultaneous momentary and latching style switching. This device requires a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. Contrary to what's written on the faceplate of certain famous deluxe amplifiers, vibrato is a form of frequency or wavelength modulation that we hear as a variation in pitch. It is often confused with Tremolo, which among other things, is a type of amplitude modulation our ears hear as a change in volume. The EarthQuaker Devices Aqueduct vibrato uses a short delay line with eight different modulation modes to deliver gentle rolling pitch-wobbles, steady kosmiche pulsations, rapid trills, slimy sonic squiggles, whammy bar wiggles, and anything else your pitch-warped brain can picture in your murky mind's eye. The controls are simple: Rate adjusts the LFO speed, controlling how quickly the pitch rises and falls. Depth adjusts the LFO amplitude, controlling the intensity of the vibrato effect. The rotary switch labeled Mode selects between one of eight LFO waveshape and envelope combinations which drastically alter the character of the modulation, making the Aqueduct adaptable to nearly any musical situation. Aqueduct's eight modes include: Sine (smoothest and most subtle, associated with classic amp-like vibrato), Triangle (sharper rise and fall than sine waves with a more pronounced pitch bend), Ramp (sharp sonar pulse followed by a rapid downward slope with synthesizer-like sustain and release), and Square (rigid and abrupt transitions between pitches).
