Gamechanger Audio Plus Pedal

Sustain and sostenuto pedal for all melodic instruments
MFR# GCAPU

Product Description

The Gamechanger Audio PLUS Pedal is a new kind of audio processing engine that offers piano-style sustain for electric guitars and all other melodic instruments. This is more than just a stompbox – it is a vast extension of your instrument that bridges the gap between rhythm and lead playing and lets players explore totally new territories. 


How does it work?

The PLUS Pedal does not generate sounds with oscillators and filters! Instead – think of it as a sort of “Smart Looper” that only catches the second half of each note or chord you play and samples that short snippet of sound into a seamless, continuous loop.

This technology called “Real Time Audio Sampling” ensures that each sustained note or chord will retain the exact character of your instrument and your playing style.

This method is also fully responsive to any playing style - create continuous layers of sustain incorporating vibrato, bends, harmonics, trills and other dynamic playing techniques. You can use the whammy bar, play with a slide or experiment with amp feedback or noises – the PLUS Pedal will capture all these tonal nuances and turn them into a continuous sound.

The PLUS Pedal can be used with all other acoustic instruments, such as brass or woodwinds, or even vocals. Use a standard microphone to produce amazing polyphony in real-time and create multiple voices.

What is it for?

The PLUS Pedal is an extension of your instrument, allowing to create multiple layers on the go. From jazz-voice leading to heavy post-rock drones – the Plus Pedal allows the guitarist to do more with the instrument! A useful tool in any context - live performances, songwriting & arrangement, creating drones, ambient soundscapes, cinematic sound effects, and much more.

It is also a fantastic tool for aural training and practicing improvisation. Instead of thinking about which scale shape fits over what changes – the PLUS Pedal focuses all of your attention on listening to the tonal relationships between the chord and the notes you play on top.

How is it different?

The PLUS Pedal is not a looper, nor a delay or a reverb pedal it is a whole new type of effect based on real time sampling and looping. Unlike synth-based units the PLUS does not produce an annoying digital-sounding tone. The PLUS Pedal’s Wet signal is built from short samples of your instrument’s output, thus preserving the character of each note you play.
The PLUS Pedal can be used with any melodic instrument, including saxophones, horns, trombones, violins, cellos and many more. The PLUS Pedal features two outputs and a separate FX Loop which lets you create very interesting combinations of pedals 


Features:

  • Sample, sustain and layer any melodic sounds
  • Compose “impossible” song arrangements using just one instrument
  • Create soundscapes and ambience without DAWs or multi-effect setups
  • Transform chords into synth-like pads and beautiful textures
  • Get inspired for songwriting and composition on the go

I love the gamechanger quality. However, this pedal doesn’t seem as versatile as I thought it was. It’s totally possible that I haven’t spent enough time with it but that could be because I’m slightly disappointed with its usefulness. I probably should have held off and purchased the light pedal.

Great, unique piece of gear

By Kenny S on September 19, 2019

I have only scratched the surface of what this pedal can do, and it is certainly living up to the hype so far. It has 5 layers of sustained notes/chords, more than I have needed so far. The sustains are choppy if you step on the pedal at the same time as the attack, but if you follow the directions and press the Plus pedal a few milliseconds after the attack, it gives you smooth sustain for as long as you dial it in, and releases it instantaneously or with a fade, depending on what you have dialed in (with the tail knob). You can also have the sustains begin instantaneously or swell in with a slight delay (using the Rise knob). I am pairing it with another effects pedal and my fretless bass, and it is absolutely amazing. I am able to play things live that simply couldn't exist before the Plus pedal was made.

Someday I might buy the WET switch that goes with this. Right now, I have more options than I can use immediately.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
