Vintage Preamp Punch: Engage Orion’s faithful EP‑III solid‑state preamp for grit‑laden echo boosts or to fatten your entire signal with classic attitude.

Tape Type, Wow & Flutter: Choose Mint, Worn, or Old tape machines for distinct colour and vibe, then dial the Wonk control for everything from subtle modulation to off‑kilter splice textures.
