Strymon Orbit dBucket Flanger - Effects Pedal

The Strymon Orbit dBucket Flanger is a high-end, DSP-based modulation pedal designed to recreate classic analog flanger tones while pushing well beyond traditional designs. Built around Strymon’s proprietary dBucket algorithm, it captures the character and complexity of vintage bucket-brigade flangers while adding modern flexibility, stereo imaging, and advanced control options.

At its core, the Orbit is about deep, expressive flanging—from subtle movement and chorus-like shimmer through to extreme jet-plane sweeps and experimental “through-zero” effects. It’s engineered to give players both authentic vintage sounds and expansive modern textures in a single compact unit.

Key Features

• dBucket analog modeling engine
  Faithfully recreates the behaviour of classic bucket-brigade flanger circuits, including their nonlinear response and modulation character.
• Three LFO modes (modulation shapes)
  Choose between Log, Lin, and Through-Zero modulation for everything from smooth sweeps to dramatic phase cancellation effects.
• Three feedback types
  Positive, negative, and combined feedback allow everything from hollow, airy movement to aggressive, resonant jet sounds.
• Stereo operation
  Full stereo input/output capability creates wide, immersive movement—especially effective for ambient or post-rock textures.
• Expression pedal control
  Any parameter can be assigned to an expression pedal, enabling real-time morphing between subtle and extreme settings.
• Favorite preset switch
  Save and instantly recall a custom sound, making it practical for live use despite its deep parameter set.
• Through-zero flanging
  A standout feature that pushes the signal through phase cancellation for classic tape-style “whoosh” effects with added depth and precision.
• High-quality audio path
  24-bit/96kHz conversion, 110 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and a premium analog front end ensure clean, studio-grade performance.
• True bypass switching
  Preserves your dry tone completely when the effect is off.
• Build quality and power
  Rugged anodised aluminium enclosure, designed and built in the USA, powered by standard 9V DC.
