The Gamechanger Audio Plus Pedal is not a standard stompbox looper - it's an extension of your instrument that bridges the gap between your rhythm and lead playing, making it easy for guitarists and other musicians to explore new musical frontiers.
The Plus pedal uses Gamechanger's patented audio algorithm that allows you to capture and sample small segments of your instrument's signal in real time and loop them into a seamless sustained sound. Unlike synthesizers and synth-pad triggers, the Plus Pedal plays a constant high-resolution recording of your instrument and, once enabled, the real-time sampling algorithm instantly creates a micro-loop of the most recent audio signal.

The magic of looping
You can think of the Plus pedal as a kind of clever looper that captures only the last segment of a note or chord you select by pressing the pedal. It then uses that to create a warm and responsive continuous sound. The layers of sustain created by the Plus pedal sound almost identical to your instrument's original tone, and you can further tweak the Plus pedal to create the specific type of sustain. In use, the Plus pedal delivers results that are quite different (and much more varied) than those of typical looper and "freeze" pedals. Like the sostenuto pedal on a piano, the Plus pedal allows you to easily sustain selected notes while leaving other notes untouched.
A fixture in your setup
We see the Plus pedal as a fixture in every guitarist's kit - just like the wah. Whether you're a soloist or playing in a trio, it's ideal for creating pads to fill a sparse arrangement while playing single-note lines. The ability to place effects solely on the sustain also opens up worlds of new sound. Our Klundert guitarists have found that you can use this pedal to create atmospheric, synth-like pads and moody, ambient drones and textures. Although guitarists are naturally drawn to the pianistic sustain capabilities of the Plus pedal, it's actually a gamechanger for virtually any instrument and all genres of music.
A Creative Tool
In addition to being a useful tool for arrangements and compositions, the Plus pedal also excels at creating beautiful and unique textures and sound effects that would otherwise be impossible to produce in real time. On stage or in the studio, you can instantly transform your sound into a layer of continuous sound. It opens creative gates and forever changes the way you make music. The Plus pedal is also an amazingly effective tool for ear training and practicing melodies, scales and modes over specific chords or tonal counterpoints. Beneath its attractive appearance, the Plus pedal has a robust casing and build quality for decades of professional use.
On the back of the pedal you'll find a Clean Out/FSW jack. This can be used in 2 ways: you can use it as an extra output for just your dry signal and as a connection for the optional Wet-Footswitch. This turns off your dry signal for when you're in the extra mood for ambient soundscapes.
