Gamechanger Audio unveils Auto Series chorus, reverb and delay pedals
February 25, 2025 · 4 sources
Gamechanger Audio has unveiled a stereo, semi-modular pedal series called Auto, comprising Chorus, Reverb and Delay pedals, according to Delicious Audio. The series was originally promoted under the Mod name1. MusicRadar reported the Mod Series launch at NAMM 2024, with the Chorus, Delay and Reverb priced at $299 each2.
Each pedal has two performance-controlled modulation sources. The Dynamics tracker captures the volume subtleties of the playing, and the Pitch tracker detects notes including bends and vibratos. A patch panel in the center of each pedal lets the player assign either tracker to trigger specific effect parameters1. Delicious Audio describes the pedals as allowing players to combine effects through internal connectivity via 1/8th patches and to interact with each other in ways regular pedals can't1.
Pedal of the Day lists the Delay with three algorithms (TAPE, ANALOG and DIGITAL) and four controls (LEVEL, TONE, REPEAT, TIME), and the Reverb with three algorithms (PLATE, SPRING and HALL) and the same four controls34. Both carry three panning or stereo modes (OFF, 50%, 100%), stereo and mono processing over TS or TRS cables, switchable input level (INSTRUMENT, LINE or EURORACK), a TRACK input and output, a MIDI/CLK input for MIDI clock or analog trigger sync, a USB-C input for MIDI and updates, and a 9V DC center negative power inlet requiring at least 250 mA34. Each primary effect knob is paired with a smaller attenuverter knob for setting the amount and direction of variation, and the DYNAMICS and PITCH knobs with dedicated mode switches adjust decay time, pitch glide and response curves34.
MusicRadar reported the Mod Series Delay with Pristine Digital, Warm Tape and Gritty Analog BBD modes, the Reverb with Huge Hal, Vibrant Plate and Twangy Spring, and the Chorus combining Deep Flange with Lush Chorus & Vibrato and Grand Ensemble2. Pedal of the Day's write-up of the Delay said the pedals suit players willing to experiment with knobs and patch cables3.
