GFI ’ s Cabzeus isn ’ t a pedal , but more like an in-line guitar processor that gives you the distinct flavor of a miked speaker cabinet without all the hassle associated with doing so . The Cabzeus is algorithm-based , so it seeks to provide stable performance no matter the input . Stereo modes and presets are available across the Cabzeus , with several submodes available for each .
The Surgeon is a precision-sculpted delay pedal with three very distinct modes for your delaying pleasure . These three modes offer everything from super-dark murky tape-style delay tones , to a wide-ranging digital delay and even a cross between a delay and an auto-sweepable filter . The Mutation control is mode-dependent and offers great control over either mode .
Zorg ’ s Oppressor started as an idea that not every compressor had to be sparkling clean — it is modeled after an amplifier , after all — and so the Oppressor offers a Gain control that ranges far beyond most normal compressor gains . The Oppressor also contains separate controls for Attack and Release , with each on a three-way toggle for fine-tuning .
