Gamechanger Audio Light Pedal Optical Spring Reverb System

THE GAMECHANGER AUDIO LIGHT PEDAL IS THE WORLD’S FIRST ANALOG OPTICAL SPRING REVERB SYSTEM THAT USES INFRA-RED OPTICAL SENSORS TO HARVEST THE FULL TEMBRAL AND HARMONIC RANGE OF A SPRING REVERB TANK.

IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY TO TRANSFER AN AUDIO SIGNAL ACROSS THE LENGTH OF A VIBRATING SPRING. BY THE TIME THE SOURCE AUDIO SIGNAL REACHES THE SPRING TANK’S OUTPUT TRANSDUCER, MOST OF ITS NUANCED HARMONIC CONTENT WILL BE LOST CONVERTED INTO MECHANICAL ENERGY.
THIS IS WHY SPRING REVERBS HAVE SUCH A PARTICULAR SOUND, SINCE WHAT YOU END UP HEARING IS LARGELY THE SPRING’S OWN RESONANT FREQUENCIES. THE LIGHT PEDAL USES EXTREMELY SENSITIVE OPTICAL PAIRS, PLACED AT SPECIFIC REGIONS OF THE SPRING TO DETECT VERY NUANCED MOVEMENTS ON THE SPRING’S SURFACE, AS SOUND-WAVES TRAVEL THROUGH IT.
THIS METHOD OPENS UP A MUCH WIDER RANGE OF FREQUENCIES, HARMONICS, OVERTONES AND TEXTURES THAT ARE OTHERWISE LOST IN THE MECHANICAL REVERBERATION PROCESS. USING OPTICAL SENSORS ALSO OPENS DOORS TO SOME NEW EFFECTS TYPES, SUCH AS OPTICAL REVERB TREMOLO, OPTICAL REVERB MODULATION AND OPTICAL HARMONIC SHIMMER.
THE RESULT IS A WIDE VARIETY OF ANALOG REVERB SOUNDS RANGING FROM CLASSIC TO EXPERIMENTAL TO PURE MAGIC.

Thanks for your continued support, and remember, these videos are intended to show off the PEDALS and what they can do, not what a brilliant guitar player I am - there are plenty of shredder videos out there, and besides, I'm really a drummer :)

Sounds amazing. Ingenious idea!
💡💥🌌🤙

[@pedalscapes]

Great demo - really interesting pedal - otherworldly sounds at 9:27 - Marvellous!

[@kingfisher7960]

I really wanted this pedal as I love the way they put a window into its soul like the people that walk on beaches. But its a little too pricey for me as I already have a reverb pedal. I really wanted this though!

[@Dungeon_of_Regret]

This pedal's knobs are it's curse and blessing. It is SO tweakable, but specific. I have one (I've been gunning to replace the surfy bear).. this week, I found the "spot". It was an agressive use of the gate, cutting off reverb pretty early. Net here is it has an ocean of sweat spots. It's worth learning in depth. It is the most inspiringly pedal to release in many years. Do it. Don't fixate on recreating. Have fun with the "what if" factor

[@mymockumentary9716]

kit is never too pricey, it takes dedication, sacrifice, patience and tenacity

[@reginaldperiwinkle]

I think the other two pedals from this company are amazing, and I'd highly recommend them. I'm not sold on this one. Really hoping they do the motor pedal that they demoed a prototype for years ago.

[@mikehunt9315]

Pretty sure they just turned it into a semi modular synth. Kinda disappointed they didn’t go thru with the pedal version.

[@aarondavis8041]

Excellent play-through of this eccentric pedal. Your playing sounds great, too; you've really come a long way in the past few years! Are you still drumming?

[@pedaloftheday]

Thanks a lot! Always trying to drum as much as possible, too!

[@johngoltz1430]

How are you guys getting that stereo effect starting at about 0:46 ? I thought this was a mono pedal?

[@johngoltz1430]

So I just learned you can do some CV control through the expression pedal input - is that how y’all did it? I’ll buy that! Now just deciding who to buy it *from*...

[@pedaloftheday]

That's just a Boss DD-8 we're running through the effects loop of our Thermion Zero Amp. Sounds rad, though, right?

[@ClarkBattle]

At 1:00 its panning in stereo! How is that? There's only one output.

[@pedaloftheday]

Boss DD-8 Delay + Fulltone Supa-Trem2, for more sonic texture 😉

[@R1GAMBLER]

Elvis was a 28th degree Karate Black Belt. That level of mastery made him a registered lethal weapon. FK around & get roundhoused in the face. 💥🦵
