Title:Gamechanger Audio Plasma Rack
Manufacturer’s SKU: GCAPRA
Model: Plasma Rack
UPC: 750258555196
Manufacturer: Gamechanger Audio
Made in EU, Riga, Latvia
Description: The PLASMA RACK is a 1U sized audio effects unitdesigned for professional and studio use.
A significant expansion of the unique HighVoltage Distortion concept behind PLASMA Pedal, the PLASMA Rack features an extralarge xenon tube that conducts audio signal at voltages of up to 5500 volts.Suitable and designed to use with guitar, bass,synthesizer and drum tracks.
Simplified Wet SignalChain:
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
Power Supply is included.
The expected life of the xenon tube is 10,000 to 70,000 hours of activeplaying. The xenon tube is replaceable.
The PLASMA is arevolutionary way of producing distortion by converting your instrument’ssignal into a series of high-voltage plasma discharges in a sealed xenon filledtube.
The result is anincredibly sharp and sizzling overdrive that is extremely clear and responsive. This patent-pending technology ofhigh-voltage electric discharge also acts as a natural noise-gating device thatcreates strong contrasts between staccato notes, as well as eliminating allunwanted noise and pick-up hum. The PLASMA’s electric discharge tube producesbeautiful visible bolts of lightning that react to the input signal, thuscreating a captivating experience for all players. In essence – you are playinga bolt of electricity.
Key Features
Unique HarmonicSaturation
PLASMA pedal convertsyour instrument’s signal into a rapid series of electric discharges, whichresults in a large amount of non-linear harmonic saturation that causesextremely rich and responsive attacks, and brings out screeching sharpovertones and harmonics. These harmonic artefacts, produced as a by-productof the high voltage discharge are uncommon in traditional signal amplification,and therefore PLASMA distortion is unlike anything you have heard before.
Natural Noise Gate,Clean Gate
As soon as you stopplaying the electrical discharge within the gas-filled tube is interrupted, andthe pedal will not produce any output signal at all. This feature allows you toachieve extreme contrasts between individual notes, by eliminating allin-between noises created by the instrument’s pick-ups or by humming strings.This is noise gate can be set to affect the clean signal without addeddistortion.
Extremely Wide 3-BandEQ
The PLASMA distortionloses the original dry input signal and creates a new signal fromfluctuations in the electromagnetic field surrounding the gas-dischargetube. This allows for a very wide range of frequencies. The EQ can be switchedto affect only the wet sound or dry sound.
Additional Features
Input Gain control tofine-tune the Plasma Rack for any type of input signal.
Sustain Mode lets youachieve long sustained notes even at Low Voltage settings.
Oversaturate Mode overpowersthe Plasma tube to achieve an Octave Up / Overtone effect.
Built-in PlasmaTremolo is a unique Tremolo and Rig Mod effect with adjustable Depth andDynamic response.
Built-in DistortionChannel that lets you add some High-Class Op Amp dirt to you Dry Signal.
3 Effects loops arelocated and different parts of the signal chain and work with line andinstrument levels.
Connectivity of twoinputs (unbalanced and balanced with PAD), Two outputs and MIDI
Full MIDI controllets you control all parameters and values via CC Messages and Program ChangeMessages with 8 Preset slots.
Expression inputallows you to assign an expression pedal to any parameter of the PLASMA Rack.
Default Boot-UpSettings are saveable to make the Rack gig-ready.
