The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hybrid phaser-vibrato topology delivering unusually warm, organic modulation; extensive range control allows everything from subtle movement to dramatic, sculptural sweeps; BA6 architecture contributes to the effect's tonal smoothness and responsiveness to playing dynamics.
True bypass switching; standard 9V operation; pairs exceptionally well with reverb and delay; relatively steep learning curve for dialing in the sweeter spots, but the extended range rewards experimentation. No special accessories required beyond a quality patch cable.
Arigato redefines the phaser category by prioritizing warmth and musicality over sterile motion. It's an unconventional choice that justifies itself immediately through tonal character and responsive control—worth the investment for players seeking modulation that genuinely transforms without gimmickry.

A phaser even for people who don't normally like phasers, Arigato™ delivers incredible modulation, range, and warmth.
ARIGATO neither seeks to recapture the sounds of the past, nor to be state of the art. It is a snapshot of a future we were promised as children. It is our way of saying thank you to customers who for years asked us for a phaser. (Really? A phaser???)
While capable of the airy psychedelia of classic units, this one is meant to rumble, wobble, shake, rattle, and roar. It is also capable of going fully wet for interesting vibrato sounds, max feedback for auto-wah sweeps, and a wide range of responsive shades throughout each control as they interact with the others.
We’re pretty excited about this release; the first pedal Philippe ever owned was a phaser, our team is a bunch of phase shifting nuts, and releasing this feels like coming home.
For those of you who didn't think you'd like a chorus, but fell in love with our Somersault™ pedal - we think you're going to really love this thing too. While we love classic one-knob units and their ALL CAPS WHOOSH approach to phasing, there's a world of subtle shading and different movement to be explored, and Arigato is here for it.
