Aviate Audio launches Multiverse Developer Edition pedal at $399

April 6, 2023 · 1 sources

Aviate Audio has launched the Multiverse Developer Edition pedal, available now for $3991. The Buffalo-based boutique pedal brand designed the stompbox to work alongside its open-platform Multiverse software, through which users can develop new and personally tailored effects1.

Effects and chains of different sounds can be saved into presets and placed into the pedal, and whole "custom digital pedalboards" are currently available on the Aviate site1. Only Aviate-licensed developers can list their effects on the site, though any pedal owner is able to use the Multiverse software to experiment with their tones1.

The hardware has four fully programmable rotary encoders alongside two programmable footswitches, plus Gain and Level controls1. It is completed with two assignable LEDs, a 1.3" OLED display and two expression inputs via TRS connector1. A MIDI input for separate control is also present, though support for that platform is said to be coming soon, as is a USB-C port for programming1.

"As new effects started becoming available for the pedal, we began experimenting with creating custom digital pedalboards, which are now available on our website as presets"
Aviate Audio CTO Ryan Jaquin, Guitar World1

The Multiverse is one of the digital multi-effects units covered in our multi-effects pedals section.
