Product Description
The Gamechanger MOTOR Pedal is a fully playable electro-mechanical synth voice that tracks your pitch in real time. Use it as a drone that doubles your lines, or as a ring-mod or cross-modulation engine for your signal. This isn't an emulation or analog modeling — this is the sound of a spinning brushed DC motor, pushed to the edge and tamed with precision control.
REAL-TIME PITCH TRACKER
The MOTOR Pedal uses a real-time pitch tracker to analyze your instrument's output. Whether you're using a guitar, a bass, or a microphone, the motor's rotational speed will precisely match the fundamental frequency you're playing. For example, to match a 440Hz input, the motor will rotate at 146 revolutions per second, activating the magnetic pickup and sensors three times per rotation. A carefully calibrated inductor captures the real-world motion of the motor's spinning coils, transforming mechanical energy into a raw, electric audio signal.
DC ELECTROMOTOR BLOCK
The MOTOR Pedal uses a specially-designed brushed DC electromotor block as its core sound engine. Over time, the motor's brushes are going to erode, and the motor block will need to be replaced - indicated by the pedal's check engine light turning orange and then red. The motor block is a replaceable part with an estimated lifespan of 3,000–5,000 hours of intensive playing. Installing a replacement motor is comparable to changing a set of tubes in your amp.
