12 versatile modulation machines: open up the history books of music
Mobius gives you twelve legendary, versatile and inspirational modulation machines, all in an easy-to-use package. Go from mouthwatering vintage chorus sounds all the way to syrupy psychedelic phasers. Get classic, pulsating tremolos all the way to warbling crushed bits. Mobius opens up the history books of music and provides new sounds and inspiration for all of your musical ideas.
- Chorus – The Chorus machine features five distinct modes to cover all the classic chorus sounds, from the variable-clock warmth of the dBucket, Multi and Vibrato modes to the crisp and clean 80s sounds of the Digital and Detune modes.
- Flanger – The Flanger machine's six modes are designed to deliver the historic catalog of flanging tones with maximum ease of use. Choose from color-coded Silver, Grey and Black modes for vintage stomp flanger tones or go through zero back to the days of tape flanging with Zero+ and Zero- modes.
- Rotary – The Rotary machine captures the sonic swirling complexities of a variable horn and drum rotary speaker. A variety of parameters let you shape the system's sonics and mechanics.
- Vibe – The Vibe machine lives and breathes with the warmth and depth that discerning vibe fans will appreciate. Control over waveshape symmetry, low end response, and headroom allow for precise under-the-hood adjustments.
- Phaser – The Phaser machine's modes ensure that you're able to easily dial in chewy 2, 4 and 6 stage phasers as well as swirly 8, 12 and 16 (!) stage phasers. Each mode was painstakingly tuned for optimum sonic performance.
- Filter – The flexible Filter machine gives you Low Pass, Wah, and High Pass filter modes with resonance control and a host of cool waveforms, including envelope control to allow for soothing sweeps, funky wahs and futuristic bleeps.
- Formant – Say what? The Formant machine does the talking for you. The Formant machine provides hours of fun as a host of selectable waveforms control the selected vowels. Select random vowels and who knows what it'll say next?
- Vintage Trem – The Vintage Trem machine provides three historic tremolo sounds. Choose the rich complexity of Harmonic tremolo, the soothing pulses of Tube tremolo or the surf and spy sounds of Photo tremolo.
- Pattern Trem – The Pattern Trem machine allows you to sequence up to eight beats of trem subdivision for some unique rhythmic sounds. Choose from a variety of waveforms including smooth sinewaves, sharp saws, choppy pulses and more. Easily retrigger your pattern with a single press of the tap switch.
- Autoswell – The Autoswell machine goes beyond the typical 'volume swell' effect, giving you four different types of swell curves to choose from in addition to a wide range of rise times. The Depth knobs brings in a chorus/vibrato effect to the swelled signal when turned up.
- Destroyer – The Destroyer machine combines bit-crushing, sample-rate reduction and lo-fi filtering alongside vinyl scratches and warps. From an old-timey 78rpm record to videogame nostalgia to a heinously corrupted under-sampled buzz, the Destroyer machine has the power, flexibility and sonic pedigree necessary to really muck things up just right.
- Quadrature – The Quadrature machine handles another spectrum of signal corruption. Choose from AM (amplitude modulation), FM (frequency modulation) or Frequency Shifting (single sideband modulation) to go where few have gone before. This mode is highly flexible with a variety of waveshapes to modulate the modulation.
200 built-in presets
Mobius gives you the option to instantly save and recall up to 200 of your own presets. Easily bank up or down through your presets using the front panel switches. Give each preset its own custom name to appear on the display. You can even select presets via an external MIDI controller.
Expression pedal control
Plug in an expression pedal (sold separately) and control any knob or combination of knobs, all saveable per preset. Or plug in an external momentary footswitch (also sold separately) for remote control of your LFO speed.
Assignable knobs
Do you like to tweak some knobs more than others? Mobius gives you the ability to assign custom parameters to the two Param knobs on the front panel, all saveable per preset.
Pre/Post mode
Switch to Pre/Post mode and place your Mobius in two different locations in your mono signal chain – without having to rewire your pedalboard! Want to run Mobius before your distortion box for one song and after the distortion for another? Easy! No rewiring necessary.
