Piano-Style Sustain for Any Instrument
The Gamechanger Audio PLUS Pedal II brings real piano-style sustain to guitar, bass, synth, vocals, or anything you can plug in or mic up. Press the brass pedal and the notes you just played hang in the air, layer on top of each other, and become part of the performance instead of an effect sitting on top of it.
At its core is a new Spectral Sampling engine that captures the timbre, dynamics, and harmonics of your signal, so sustained notes sound like your instrument, not a frozen copy of it. Stack single notes into live chords, build cinematic pads, or push the LAYERS knob to infinity for a wall of sound that keeps evolving. Tone and Resonance controls add warmth, sparkle, and moving upper and lower harmonics, and a circular LED halo shows the volume of every active layer as you play.
How It Fits Your Rig
Turn on Auto Catch, rest your foot on the pedal, and the PLUS II grabs and layers each new note on its own, like a piano with infinite sustain. The stereo FX loop lets you move your favorite reverb, delay, or modulation pedal before, after, or inside the sustain engine with one switch, so you can effect only the wet layers. The combo XLR input and built-in mic preamp open the door to vocals, horns, and acoustic instruments, with a Kill Dry switch for semi-acoustic gigs. It also handles distorted guitars and synths with ease, making it a strong pick for ambient players, film scoring, and sound design.
