Gamechanger Audio Plasma Pedal

Rather than relying on traditional LED, transistor or vacuum-tube circuits to produce overdrive, the PLASMA Pedal fundamentally redefines the way that signal clipping can be achieved.

Inspired by Nikola Tesla's electrical resonant transformer circuit design (the Tesla Coil), it is the first effects unit to introduce a new method for signal clipping by converting the input signal into pure electrical discharges.

The blue light visible on the pedal's front panel is the actual electrical arc created by the audio input as it travels between two electrodes on either end of a specially designed xenon-filled gas discharge tube.

These continuous bursts of electricity are then instantly converted back to the analog audio level using a specialized analog rectifier circuit. The result is a rich and saturated distortion texture, with screeching sharp overtones, harmonics and sputtery bursts.

The unique noise artifacts created as a byproduct of the high-voltage discharges are uncommon in traditional signal amplification, and therefore PLASMA Pedal’s distortion sound is unlike any other high-gain effects unit.

The Gamechanger Plasma Pedal is a unique guitar effect that uses high voltage distortion to create a sharp, grainy and hissing sound. It is the first commercial musical instrument that literally amplifies an audio signal to 3500 volts.

The Plasma Pedal has several controls that allow you to adjust its sound. The VOLTAGE knob adjusts the amount of electrical current that is sent to the PLASMA tube. The EFFECTS knob allows you to select one of 6 different types of effects, including volume lift, subharmonic, upper harmonic and blend modes.

The Plasma Pedal is suitable for use with guitars, basses, synthesizers and drum machines. Its wide range of picking response makes it possible to play even the most complex chords.
