Empire Guitars Gamechanger Audio Light Pedal Optical Spring Reverb *Free Shipping In The USA* Effects

The LIGHT Pedal is the world’s first analog optical spring reverb system
that uses infra-red optical sensors. This system is used to harvest the
full timbral and harmonic range of the spring reverb tank. The LIGHT
Pedal combines the best features of a classic spring reverb with the
innovative optical sensor system and a powerful effects section. This
combination opens up countless new types of reverb textures and sounds
never heard before.

The LIGHT Pedal uses extremely sensitive optical sensors directed at
different points of the spring. The optical sensors detect very subtle
movements on the spring’s surface as sound-waves travel through it. This
method allows to pick up a much wider range of frequencies, overtones
and textures otherwise lost in the mechanical reverberation process. The
optical sensors also open doors to effects that are new to spring
reverbs, such as tremolo, modulation, feedback and added harmonics. The
result is a wide variety of reverb sounds ranging from classic to
experimental to pure magic.

The LIGHT Pedal’s user interface pushes the boundaries of spring
reverb even further. The extended signal mix section allows for a very
precise balance between the dry, classic reverb tone and the new and
optical reverb signals. The ability to stack various effects and control
them with playing dynamics or an expression pedal makes this pedal an
advanced tool for sonic exploration.

Sounds ranging from classic spring tank tones to colorful optical spring reverb tones with modulation and added harmonics.

Separate level controls for the dry signal, spring and optical reverbs. The dry signal can be attenuated and boosted.

6 unique effects: optics (frequency and texture calibration), sweep (modulation), tremolo, reflect (delay), feedback and harmonic (added harmonics and octave tracking). Multiple effect stacking options.

Drive knob for adjusting the signal level sent to the reverb tank, thus affecting the reverb tank’s behavior.

Tone knob ranges from rumbling lows to piercing highs.

Simple one-knob envelope control produces either gated or ducking reverb.

Effects parameters can be linked to playing dynamics.

Switchable reverb tails in bypass mode.

Switchable latching or momentary modes for expressive playing.

Assignable expression pedal input.

Adjustable shock sensor to control spring noise produced by sudden movements, mechanical impact.

Color LEDs inside the spring tank provide helpful visual feedback
for monitoring the reverb’s output and input signal levels as well as
multiple effects parameters, such as modulation rate.

High quality buffered bypass.

Powered by a standard 9V DC center negative power supply with at least 500 mA. The power supply is not included.
