The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Parabolic waveform shaping creates smoother, more musical amplitude curves than standard sine/triangle options; solid-state architecture ensures reliability and tonal transparency; dual footswitches enable independent control of rate and depth parameters in real-time performance.
Requires standard 9V power supply (not included); compact pedalboard footprint suits most setups; patch cables benefit from quality shielding given the modulation's sensitivity to signal chain interaction. Pairs effectively with reverb or delay for dimensional effects.
Caroline's tremolo achieves sonic sophistication through uncommon waveform design. The Parabola justifies its price for guitarists seeking tremolo beyond nostalgia—a tool that enhances arrangement depth and opens new rhythmic possibilities without gimmickry.

PARABOLA™ is the sonic equivalent of riding your space mammoth through giant puddles in the astral plane while feeding it caffeinated energy drinks.
Think of this as your rig’s new “tremolo channel”. We’ve adapted the deliciously sloshy, transistor-based LFO and distinctive waveform from our favorite “West German” device, modified its speed and depth to match and go beyond those from your favorite classic amps, and then added pre and post effect gain stages for both overdrive and volume boost. Then we offer the classic, dramatic amplitude modulation (AM) you might expect, or a filtered modulation (FM) that is subtle, beautiful, and less invasive on your playing.
Your pedal was dreamed, designed and created at our small batch distortery™ in Columbia, S.C. Thank you for supporting our work and putting it to use.
