Kernom Unveils the Elipse

With advanced controls, full MIDI integration, and expression pedal compatibility, the Elipse is designed for guitars, bass, synthesizers, vocals, and vintage keyboards.


Powered by Kernomā€™s patented Analog Morphing Core technology, the Kernom ELIPSE isnā€™t just another modulation pedal. With the innovative MOOD control, musicians can seamlessly morph between iconic modulation effects, from rhythmic tremolos and lush choruses to jet-like flangers and swirling phasers. The addition of the SWIRL control introduces a unique phaser-blend for rich, multidimensional textures.
