The PLUS Pedal uses a proprietary real-time audio-sampling algorithm to generate long, smooth layers of sustain out of any audio input signal. Compared to other “freeze” effects (which are typically based on granular synthesis or reverb engines), PLUS fully preserves the core sounds of your instrument, including tonal nuances related to picking dynamics, pickup setting, vibrato, harmonics, and more. And because it doesn’t have the polyphonic and timbral limitations often associated with this type of effect, there’s no need to worry about it tracking well with complex chords.
PLUS Pedal’s form factor is visually different from typical effects, but using the brass activator pedal is similar to using piano pedals or a wah pedal. Its unique design enables you to accompany your own solos with sustaining chords, or build rich, ambient textures and harmonically evolving soundscapes—and the musical possibilities are exponentially greater when you insert other effect processors in PLUS Pedal’s effects loop.
Design highlights:
- RISE (attack) and TAIL (decay) knobs yield precise control over sustain dynamics
- GROUP and SINGLE multi-layer sustain modes enable complex or more streamlined layering
- The SUSTAIN (low-pass filter) knob’s gradual taper facilitates sounds ranging from organic to surreal
- WET/DRY, MIX/DRY, and FX-loop jacks enable simple or complex routing options
- The activator pedal’s dual settings yield subtle or more abrupt expression styles
