The Plasma Pedal converts incoming audio signals to a beam of "high voltage" electricity (a harmless 3.5kV) in a xenon-filled vacuum tube. Due to the speed and nature of this beam generation, incoming signals are marinated in an extremely percussive, highly irregular, and highly harmonic type of audio distortion, whose character ranges from a smooth vocal-like sustain to a hard-gated fuzzy ruckus. Standard gain, EQ, and output controls supply a generous amount of control over the Plasma Pedal's distortion and fuzz characteristics. There's even a wet-dry Blend control to ensure your source audio stays intact when you crank up the intensity.

Glad I hadn't taken any mushrooms leading up to that technical signal description.
Was thinking exactly the same hahahha
I read this before it happened and didn’t get it... then I heard it and understood 😂
Shi sounded like I was on dmt for a sec hadda make sure that I was real for a sec
Sounds like playing through my broken $20 speaker 🔊
😂 no😂
@@VampiresOfRouletteyes😅
I would for sure call this a Fuzz rather than a Distortion. Really cool pedal!
@Abigail Jones Oh snap.
I just got one and it actually has some great distortion tones.
Eric Evans well fuzz is a type of distortion so 🤷♂️
It sounds like something that I'd be looking for in a fuzz pedal. The square wave, broken amplifier sound
I love hard rock and heavy metal. This falls outside the realm
of what I consider music. But for those who like to stray outside the norm rock on dudes!
I'm glad someone did it. For those who don't want it, consider it a possible stepping stone to something you do want.
Hahaha.....looks like you're playing thru a bug zapper.....sounds like it too! LOL
I understand that people say this sounds like a broken, shitty distortion pedal, and they're kind of right, but what I like about this is the ability to control the shittyness/brokenness of the pedal, without having to worry about it completely giving out on you.
I love this review. Well said!
It does sound like all kinds of broken stuff broken cables, low battery, ripped speaker........ I think it sounds amazing. A lot of cool sounds are discovered by accident.
Interesting but sounds about the same as a cheap distortion plugin in my DAW.
I wish this pedal sounded as cool as it looks. It’s literally everything I hate about how distortion pedals sound packed into the coolest box I’ve ever seen.
All love, btw. I honestly hope people are shredding the heck outta this thing getting some sick plasma tones.
Great demo thank you
5:18 this is singlehandedly the coolest thing ive ever seen
Sounds like the tom morello guitar battle from guitar hero 3 LOL
You'd like Tom Morello then
Lol thumbs up
You can easily make this sound with stone picks
can’t wait to play this with my trombone
I just threw away a Behringer 15w practice amp because it started sounding like this pedal...
I'm having unamusing comment deja vu.
That's awesome!!
The Black Keys and Jack White will be all over this thing.
Andrew Elias jack white has a signature model with an octave in it I think
Just used one in the recording studio on bass and it was fantastic. I think the output here is terrible compared to what we got out of it in the studio.
I'm guessing Don went home with one of these pedals. He looked so thrilled presenting it.😜
Lo tengo. Con el Marshall jcm600 en canal clean con gain y volumen a las dos del reloj, mucho cuerpo y volumen; el pedal bien ajustado y en un casi full dry( mucho ampli, poco pedal)consigues una rotura fuzzera muy chula complementando el sonido del ampli. Muy chulo. Me compensa su precio por lo que ofrece.
Electrifying!
I need this!
This is a really cool pedal, I want one. Lol
lol?
I think I like their light pedal better but this is awesome too.
Looks great, sounds like a curb stomped ds 1
But will it chug?
Charles Fritz that is the question
Sounds like "no"...
Absolutely not.
Ola shall decide that.
Thought I was trippin when he started talking 0:50 😂
thé intro is great, and funny 🍻
I'm gonna be using this as a bass fuzz pedal
Good video
OMG the comments are BLoody Pricely!!
When you turn the voltage down, it reminds me of when the battery dies in a normal distortion pedal. 😂
Nailed the wasp 🐝 in a jar 🏺 sound Amazing
that description was hilarious
A student trick I used in the Netherlands was to boil the water in the electric cooker and then pour it over to the pan on the gas stove to save money.
This is the exact sound when your input voltage and current is too low like a tiny battery that can't give enough for the need.
So it sounds like broken sh!t but the tube looks really cool 👏👍the very end sounds like Missle Command on the Atari 2600
Wow....seema ok..but we REALLY need another tube screamer clone...
I need this pedal
Can I use this whit my electric piano ?
Bob Fripp would love this thing
Btw they said the same thing about the synthesizer when it appeared in the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey
Where do you get a replacement plasma tube when it's worn out ???
Sounds like overdrive and works like overdrive
Exactly the tone that would be BURIED in a mix... by a mile deep. Nice thing to noodle around, eventually, though.
Trippy
wow i think i am stone , but where i take the stuff ?
I really want this pedal ... but i need some print paper ...
Anyone know of albums being produced with this thing? Sounds super cool but how usable.
I'll say like Ola when he tried the evh micro stack, does it chug? No! Does it fart? Yes!
can't imagine using that tone much if at all
Ok Joe Rogan fan base we get it contrary is your thing I'm right there with ya!
So I don't like the sound of it but it seems like this idea will get perfected someday and sound great.
Sounds like a cheap distortion pedal with a loose connection
Wow! That's the best looking and worst sounding pedal ever! It's amazing how the only appeal it merits is purely aesthetic
It’s a fuzz it’s meant to sound like shit
to you
Not true, you can get really cool tones out of it if you like any degree of velcro. With the blend knob you can get a very nuanced textured tone. It's different, different is good. Let the pedal companies push forward into new territories instead of remaking tube screamers for the umpteenth time.
Totally agree its a sales man's wet dream little blue wave light ,plus a famous player boom sit back smoke a fat Ci gar
That's just like your opinion man
Imagine if their was ever a fault with this and it sends thousands of volts to your amp and guitar !
Sami Khamis it already sends 3,500 volts to your guitar
Volts dont hurt you, amps do, that's why you can hold jumper cables
For passive pickups, there's generally less than 1 volt coming from the guitar. This pedal is not sending thousands of volts back to the guitar.
Also, please don't mess around with jumper cables. The reason you can hold them has to do with how the circuit is being completed and not with the voltage or current. If you mess up the grounding, you can get seriously injured by jumper cables.
*there
It uses 9V DC for power. Unless there is some DC to AC component and a transformer, you're not going to get thousands of volts.
Jack White and Justin Johnson both have these are their rigs...
Sounded much nastier without the octave pedal - good experiment though.
Every chord sounds the same, it’s not for me
Sounds like Darth Vader farting.
xenon.. ionizing.. weird noises and blue light.. Valery Legasov, we need you here.
I borrowed one and gotta say it was odd playing a expensive Les Paul 59 RI aged into a vintage Marshall though high dollar gold tipped cables. The "tone woods", hide glue, special plastics etc... Then taking that signal from some of the most iconic names and tones and then totally DESTROYING IT!!
How would you know if the pedal was broken?
Why a fuzz demo always on the cleanest fender? Damn! Jimi would cry
Is it broken? Sounds like static noise.
It would have been nice if they didn't treat us like children with short attention spans. Why cater to watered-down explanations and those without curiosity?
cool but at 4:53 it seems like a small fart
Similar effect to the bias knob on the EHX Cock Fight's fuzz, which starts to stutter like a pedal with a dying battery when you turn it down.
This sounds similar...only it's been dressed up with this xenon nonsense, so they can sell it at a premium! Save your money and buy a Cock Fight. It's a great fuzz AND a cocked wah...for less than half the price!
Best Part of the Video at 5:13 to 5:26 You do not need to know how to play a guitar to use it.
the multi-shoegaze unit
They could have done themselves a favor and marketed it as an "8-bit" effect - because that's more contemporary at the time.
Bruh i cant even say it sounds quirky, it sounds bad but looks cool. Ripping off 100gecs
I wonder what happens if it reaches 88 MPH?
...you're gonna see some serious distortion 😉
This honestly sounds like I have a ground loop and I have my noise gate on 99%
sounds lovely - but not worth the price for such a small upgrade in sound compared to my £23 Rowin Fuzz Frenzy mixed with my £20 Mosky Golden Horse.
Distortion pedal? Sounds more like static/white noise over the guitar sound. Not for me.
Purely eye candy
yo they couldnt get a metal player...?
I bought this exact pedal (demo) version from SW for kicks and its a unique pedal! More versatile than I thought. My buddy is endorsed by the Gamechanger guys and I met them at the Brooklyn pedal show last summer and they are a fun group! Certainly worth a try! If you play to the pedal you can get some really fun sounds. Controls are super sensative so you can certainly dial it down to get more traditional distortion. Chet Atkins licks never sounded so metal! Rock on
i really dont like that you still hear the cleans trough the fuzz. My behringer sf300 sounds the same but hasnt that clean stuff happening. And its only 24 euro instead of 300
to all of you idiots saying this pedal sucks, NO IT DOESN'T! it sounds wonderful! it's great for your shoegaze and white stripes like stuff
I would add industrial/noise to the list
It sounds like my first Peavey Rage 108 practice amps distortion .. i think this is however OK, to put before amp distortion like a tube screamer replacement
I had the peavey rage and it sounded nothing like this. You must have broken it to make it sound like this. The peavey rage had a miserable and thin sounding distortion
Did not like it.
It seems to me like a fuzz with bells and whistles.
It's like they made a decent fuzz, poured water on it, then packed it and shipped it.
What even is this
Is there something wrong with it? It sounds faulty
it's supposed to sound faulty.
Na I'll stick with my electro harmonix Hot Wax duel overdrive pedal
I bought one of these on a whim and forming a stoner metal band who’s in?
Awesome. But a fuzz factory does the same job and you get oscillators to boot.
No MID control?
NO DEAL!
It seems like an incomplete design to me. The clipping and cut effect, while very binary in nature seem too ‘random’ or out of control to be able to effectively explore or utilize the actual effect one is seeking. The design just seems unfinished. Perhaps a good compressor in front of it would be able to get it under control?
Its cool but I dont like the after sounds when you stop playing, not for me.
Same, the sound after he stops playing sound like a clipping signal with a very tight noise gate on it
In my ears... it just sounds like crap. I’m not a pessimist but it really does. This video just made me decide I don’t need any distortion pedals. The overdrive channel of my Silver Jubilee is working just fine.
it does NOT sound like crap! it sounds great for those fuzzy riffs like the white stripes
Just get a Boss DS-1, $50 and you can get a good variety of sounds from it.
Very cool effects at the end but overall, underwhelming
I don't know, my ehx ripped speaker pedal for 99 bucks does the same job
Metal Zone i'm sorry for all the bad things i've ever said about you.
3:43
This one isn't for me....especially considering how much they cost.
and how many dollars for the trippy light show? looks cool. ( sounds like a POS)
noape
Nice to look at when on, but that's all, sounds awful. And for 300 bucks..
There was a time when people listened to tube overdrive and thought it meant the amplifier was useless. You gotta wait and see what someone creative does with it before you write it off.
Red Heaven it was credited as used on the new tool album already. Almost certain its on the slide guitar solo on the song “descending” particularly. Almost certain he split his signal and one recorded amp is using the plasma and the other he uses his regular distortion and they are blended. I am guessing on that particularly...but this is method they are known to employ all the time anyway and it sounds exactly like a mix of this pedal and his typical distortion blended together.
At first i was skeptical of this pedal. But i think the problem is viewing exactly like a distortion pedal and its typical uses. Once i looked at it as just another sound tool to occasionally use, and heard it used on that album, i realized it could definitely have some really cool uses.
Listen to the song, i think you will agree its used at that part and sounds fantastic.
James Kleffel What an excellent reply. I’ve since acquired this pedal myself and I see it exactly the same way you do.
wrong! it sounds awesome!
sounds great in the right context.
Aaah-(GIMMICK)-chooooo!
This is a fuzz pedal
The Post Apocalypt-O-Pedal.
Very jack white tho
I hate the two layers of "plasma" and "clean" sounding together. It only disappear when BLEND os turned all the way up. 👎
Sounds like he's playing through a Tesla coil
