Gamechanger Audio launches MOD Series stereo reverb, delay and chorus pedals

March 1, 2024 · 3 sources

Gamechanger Audio announced the MOD Series, three stereo pedals for reverb, delay and chorus, at NAMM 2024 in January1. Each pedal costs $299 and all three were available to order at announcement1. A March report listed them at $299 each and available now from Andertons and Sweetwater2. Guitar Pedal X reported a price of $797 for all three, with delivery intended around March, and said the bundle was accessible through the maker's mailing list at the time3.

The pedals respond to playing dynamics and pitch. All three have a Mod switch alongside a Bypass; when activated it allows a particular parameter to change as you play2. Each pedal's dynamics and pitch signals can be adjusted and routed on its patch bay, and the pedals can be patched into one another1. Guitar Pedal X counted 162 patch combinations per pedal and described four primary controls, each with an attenuverter, plus two footswitches and LED bar displays3. Pressing both footswitches together defines a threshold above or below which modulation engages; the right footswitch engages the pedal and the left engages the modulation3.

The delay has three ping-pong options at 0%, 50% and 100%, MIDI or analog clock synchronization, and tap tempo1. The reverb has three stereo spread settings at the same percentages1. The chorus offers sawtooth, sine and ramp shapes1. All three process stereo and mono signals, with stereo routing possible over regular TS mono and TRS stereo cables1. Rear connections include stereo in and out, MIDI/CLK, USB-C, track out and a 9V DC input drawing 250mA3. Inputs include a three-way toggle for Line, Eurorack and Instrument In1.

"This series emphasizes the artist's skill, allowing for the orchestration of effects through instrument play"
