Dominican pedalsmiths Copilot FX has a new filter stomp due to ship to retailers next month. Dubbed the Gyroscope, it is a dual-wave pedal – a triangle wave that sounds phaser-ish and at high speeds can get in the vibe neighborhood, while a stepped wave sounds like a pseudo sample and hold, according to the company. It also has option to control the speed via an expression pedal. Both waves are independent with their own knobs and are selectable via a toggle switch. The pedal evolved from the original version where the speed of the triangle wave was modulated by steps, to produce some changes on the speed of the LFO, but it was hard to dial in and tweak on the fly. The Gyroscope will run about $165. Demo video after the jump!

Adam Romero, the top man at our favorite Dominican-based pedal shop Copilot FX, is planning to issue a frequency modulation fuzz stomp dubbed Orbit later this month. There are a couple of videos of the prototype of the new pedal on the Copilot website. Adam plans to place the first couple produced on ebay at an introductory price of $130. Once officially launched at the end of the month, the price will be $160. Copilot also plans to issue the long awaited Antdroid pedal around the middle of August. Adam still plans to tweak a few things on the pedal based on feedback from a group of beta testers.

Domenican-based Copilot FX has placed its Antdroid ring modulation stomp on hold. Tweaking on the fourth revision of the pedal did not yield the desired results, according to the company’s website. The project will be picked back up – with fresh ears and eyes – later this spring.

Meanwhile, Copilot FX is looking into a new LFO controlled tremolo pedal. The prototype has been tested and the unit may be finalized as early as the summer.
