The Gamechanger Audio MOTOR PEDAL is a groundbreaking electro-mechanical synthesizer pedal powered by a genuine brushed DC motor serving as the oscillator core. This innovative effect transforms guitar, bass, or microphone signals into organic, motor-driven sounds through five distinct synthesis engines. Perfect for guitarists seeking extreme synth textures, glitchy harmonics, and experimental effects in professional studio and live performance environments.
MOTOR PEDAL features a spring-loaded expression pedal offering five unique control modes – from engine acceleration and braking to drift effects and volume swells. The precision real-time pitch tracker accurately follows played notes, enabling complex harmonies and melodies derived from the physical motion of spinning coils. With a replaceable motor block rated for up to 5000 hours of continuous operation, the pedal ensures long-term reliability for heavy touring and studio use.
