Meet "The Botanist" - the definitive modulation pedal for musicians of all kinds. This compact and multifaceted pedal delivers a powerful impact with its trio of distinct algorithms: Phaser, Chorus, and Harmonic Tremolo, opening up a realm of limitless creative opportunities for shaping your sonic landscape.

Easily tailor your sound using the three intuitive knobs: Mix, Rate, and Depth. Employ the Mix knob to smoothly blend your wet signal, fine-tune the Rate knob to govern the effect's tempo, and adjust the Depth knob to modulate the effect's intensity to your liking.
