The PLASMA PEDAL is a revolutionary approach within the realm of overdrive and distortion, as it is a new and previously unexplored method of achieving signal clipping. Instead of using LED circuits, transistors or vacuum tubes to produce overdrive, the PLASMA PEDAL transforms your instrument’s live signal into a series of continuous high-voltage discharges within a xenon-filled tube. In essence – you are playing a bolt of electricity, and the electrical discharges produced by the PLASMA Tube are instantly converted back into audio signal.

The harmonic artifacts, created as a byproduct of the high-voltage discharge are uncommon in traditional signal amplification, and therefore PLASMA distortion is unlike anything you have heard before. The way the PLASMA tube reacts with different instruments and sound sources simply cannot be recreated with any other analog machine, plug-in or by digital modeling.

PLASMA PEDAL is designed primarily for guitarists and bass players, but it is also an awesome distortion tool for all sorts of synths, electronic beats, and instrument samples.

• VOLTAGE knob to control the sustain, gate threshold and overall character of the distortion.
• Add crazy PLASMA distortion on top your clean or dirty signal with the BLEND knob;
• Wide frequency spectrum controlled with the LOW and HIGH FREQ knobs;
• PLASMA is great on bass - use the BLEND knob and CLEAN EQ switch on the back of the pedal to toggle EQ section bypass on the dry sound.

Simplified Wet Signal Chain:

Input -> (EQ if on) -> Transformer to High Voltage -> Xenon Tube -> Antenna that picks up the electromagnetic vibrations surrounding the Tube -> (EQ if off) -> Blend with Clean -> Output
