The Explorer is an optical, photocell based analog phaser, featuring six swept stages. The unique control set provides an incredible range of ornate phasing with several selectable waveshapes, dedicated mix and volume controls, and CV capable expression input. We are excited to revisit this classic Spaceman circuit, now available in a smaller pedalboard friendly enclosure, with all of the deluxe features of the original. Sometimes liquidy smooth, sometimes chewy and lush, the fluid frequencies squiggle and flourish like the unrelenting ebb and flow of the sonic tide.
The Explorer is the perfect vehicle for your auditory adventures – easily flowing with the current of your imagination, as you swirl along on your melodic voyage.
Hand-wired and built in Portland, Oregon, the Explorer features true-bypass relay switching with a soft-touch footswitch. On top of the cast-aluminum enclosure sits a durable, engraved vinyl faceplate and jewel indicator light. This pedal is built to last a lifetime, both on Earth or in the vacuum of space.

Some like their chorus tones toothache sweet. Others just want a hint of syrupy swirl. And no matter where you fall on that spectrum, Sugarcube delivers. We captured the essence of all our favourite chorus pedals from the 80s, added in a dash of rotary whirl and some crystallized pitch-shifting for good measure — and then wrapped it all up in a pedalboard-friendly package.
Of course, you get the MIDI, preset and expression pedal support you’ve come to expect from Alexander Pedals, but look — sugar addiction is real. Consider this your only warning.
CHO Classsic Chorus from 70’s and 80’s
DIM Çreates dual wave signal, which moves against each other. The effect is slightly less noticeable than the standard chorus but with “Tweak”, you can get an amazing Flanger sound
ROT Rotary emulation – the sound of revolving speakers.
ICE an Alexander original, this mode adds an adjustable pitch shift to the chorus voices. The pitch is selectable from -1 Octave, Detune, + 5th, and +1 Octave.
Firmware can be updated through USB.
The folks at Catalinbread, just like the folks at Feedback Pedals, love flangers! They took to the laboratory, as pedal freaks so often do, to study the nuts and bolts of the effect. What emerged was the STS-88, a love letter to the flanger. Their development sector contains units of all types, from the ubiquitous Boss HF-2 and EHX Electric Mistress to more exotic pieces like the Effectron ADM256 and MXR Flanger/Doubler. In one late night frenzy of pedal swapping, we discovered that enveloping a flanger in a cavernous reverb really did the trick. Finding that this pristine combination suffered at the hands of extraneous noise, they embedded a very gentle noise gate to stifle inherent guitar hiss and LFO clock noise. The result is an extremely musical flanger that sounds like an extension of your own instrument, but it can also fuel up and take off when a little dirt of any kind is applied beforehand. We have played this thing and boy does it soar!
The Arigato is an OTA based (Operational-Transconductance-Amplifier) analog phaser but with a couple twists – the mode switch changes the capacitors and filter notches to more closely resemble a classic vibe pedal, giving the sweep a bit of an off-balance feel. The bypass on Arigato can also be a momentary bypass for instant phasing “hits” and releases. And the square wave, like the Somersault’s, can push the phasing into audible pumps and overload things. The guys at Caroline could have tamed it for noise purposes, but they didn’t want to lose the fun!
The Arigato is built on a similar framework as the Somersault: an analog LFO that can do some wild stuff and push things beyond their boundaries, a mix control that can go 100% wet, and a havoc control that is all gas, no brakes.
While capable of the airy psychedelia of classic units, the Arigato is meant to rumble, wobble, shake, rattle, and roar. It is also capable of going fully wet for interesting vibrato sounds and max out feedback for auto-wah style filter sweeps.
