You are literally playing a bolt of electricity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspired 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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. \u0026gt;\u003cspan\u003eThese 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. You can use the PLASMA Pedal's VOLTAGE knob to change the signal threshold necessary for a connection to be made in the gas discharge tube. This lets you dial in various sweet-spots - ranging from wide-open sustain for days, to chopped, sputtery gated sounds with extreme contrasts between individual notes and chords. THE PLASMA Pedal has a dedicated BLEND knob that lets you combine the PLASMA distortion with your instrument's clean signal or with other effects and gainstages. There is also an extremely powerful on-board EQ section that lets you add a massive LOW or HIGH frequency boost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe EQ section can be adjusted via a toggle switch to affect either the PLASMA Drive section or both the PLASMA and CLEAN signals.\u0026gt;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Gamechanger Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51117388857656,"sku":"GCAPA","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/0068\/1272\/files\/GCAPA_c0166946-1945-4485-86cf-e68da4f0e780.jpg?v=1757510174","url":"https:\/\/hoggertysmusic.shop\/products\/gamechanger-audio-plasma-high-voltage-distortion-pedal","provider":"Haggerty's Music Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
