EarthQuaker Devices Grand Orbiter V3

Four-Stage Phaser and Vibrato

Grand Orbiter V3 is a four-stage analog phaser designed to deliver everything from slow modulation to fast, swirling effects. The pedal can also be switched to function as a pure vibrato.

Phaser with Multiple Modes

Built around a four-stage OTA-based circuit, the Grand Orbiter offers three modulation modes selectable via a toggle switch:

• Rate 1 for slow sweeps
• Rate 2 for fixed resonant filter (LFO off)
• Rate 3 for fast sweeps

The Rate control adjusts the modulation speed, while a blinking LED indicates the LFO rate — even when the pedal is bypassed.

Versatile Control Options

• Depth blends the effect with the dry signal and sets intensity
• Sweep adjusts the peak frequency — from soft and dark to open and intense
• Resonance controls the amount of regeneration and defines the character of the phase effect

Vibrato Mode and Construction

The Phase/Vibrato switch allows Grand Orbiter to be used as a pitch vibrato by removing the dry signal. In this mode, Depth acts as a volume control.

Grand Orbiter is fully analog, true bypass, and hand-built. Top-mounted jacks ensure easy pedalboard integration.
