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 your instrument are instantly converted back into an analog audio signal, producing a quick, responsive, and extremely heavy distortion with TONS of unique character!

Would be curious to play around with one, the video sounds like a very heavy fuzzy distortion.

I'm noticing a distinct lack of gut shots, and I think we all know what that means

Yeah, it's definitely a rehoused Behringer. Call me a skeptic, but I don't think this idea will go very far past the initial curios of the whole thing. It doesn't sound like anything that can't be achieved without messing with 3500 volts...


Also, If you want plasma, why not go all out?

I think the coolest part is that it's also a noise gate. Since the plasma is your signal path, when you aren't playing the path is broken and keeps everything after quiet. Perfectly timed without an unnatural clamping feel or sound.
