Gamechanger Audio to begin shipping PLUS Pedal II in September

September 1, 2025 · 1 sources

Gamechanger Audio says shipping of the PLUS Pedal II begins in September, and the maker's page lists the pedal as in stock now¹. The PLUS Pedal II is a redesigned version of the company's original PLUS Pedal, which Gamechanger says "redefined what sustain should feel like"¹.

The pedal captures and layers notes to produce piano-style sustain. In Auto Catch mode, the maker says, "New notes are caught and layered automatically just like playing a piano with infinite sustain"¹. A LAYERS knob sets the number of stacked layers from 1 to 10, or to infinity, where older layers fold into new ones indefinitely¹. A Resonance knob adds upper and lower harmonics to active layers, and a circular halo display shows the volume of all active layers in real time¹. The brass pedal controls the volume of each sustain layer as the player works it¹.

The PLUS Pedal II adds an XLR input with a built-in analog microphone preamp, so a microphone can be plugged in directly, along with a KILL-DRY switch for semi-acoustic performances¹. A switchable FX loop moves an external effects unit between three positions: PRE Plus, POST Plus or inside the loop, affecting the wet signal only¹. A separate footswitch adds three modes: WET ONLY, which disables all dry signal and leaves only the wet layers; LATCH, which puts the pedal in an always-on state; and HIDE, which conceals the dry signal as soon as the brass pedal is pressed¹.

Prices are $399 for the PLUS Pedal II, $79 for the PLUS Pedal II Footswitch and $478 for the pedal with footswitch¹.
