Arpanoid V2
The original Arpanoid was the first dedicated compact polyphonic pitch arpeggiator effects pedal for the electric guitar! It takes whatever notes you play and calculates an adjustable ascending or descending scale based on the root note. It also works on complex chords as well as single notes in any key. Its eight modes feature major and minor patterns so your next jazz odyssey will remain on time and in tune. The patterns go from one octave below the input to one octave above, so there’s plenty of harmonic range, and the Arpanoid’s “random” patterns are sure to be a hit at your next psychedelic freakout.
With the Arpanoid V2 version EQD adds their new “flexi switch” switching which allows players to select between momentary or latching operation with the tap of a foot! For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass. For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed. In addition, the Arpanoid V2 features a circuit upgrade for better performance, lower noise and increased output.
Main Features:
- Polyphonic Pitch Arpeggiator for electric instruments
- Calculates an adjustable ascending or descending scale based on the note(s) being played
- Eight arpeggiator patterns in major and minor keys go from one octave below the input to one octave above
- New Flexi-switch – Allows for traditional latching or momentary operation
- True bypass – Silent soft-touch switching
- Analog dry-through
- Top-mounted jacks – for effortless pedalboard implementation

Grand Orbiter V3
The Grand Orbiter is a 4 stage OTA-based phaser with a diverse feature set that can go from stationary and resonant to slow and mellow and on through fast and swirly. It has a three-way toggle switch to select between the ranges of modulation: Rate 1 is slow sweep mode, Rate 2 kills the LFO and allows you to use the Grand Orbiter as a fixed resonant filter and Rate 3 is fast sweep mode. So no matter what starlit galaxies you wanna go to, Grand Orbiter is definitely the right vessel for your intergalactic travels!
With the Grand Orbiter V3 version, EQD adds their new “flexi switch” switching which allows players to select between momentary or latching operation with the tap of a foot! For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.

Main Features:
