Key facts
Footswitchestwo stomp switches that let you bypass the effect or switch between presets1

The Aviate Audio Multiverse Player Edition includes two stomp switches that let you bypass the effect or switch between presets1. Those two switches are the pedal's on-board control for playing: one action takes the effect out of the signal, and the other moves you between the presets you have stored on the unit1.

What it does

On the pedal itself, the player-facing controls are its two stomp switches. They let you bypass the effect or switch between presets, so you can move from one saved sound to another mid-song without reaching down to the unit's other controls1.

The controls

On the pedal itself, the controls are laid out for editing from the front panel:

  • Four rotary encoders with switches that let you adjust and select settings1
  • Gain and Level dials on the matte black enclosure2
  • A 1.3 inch OLED display that shows the name and parameters of the current effect1
  • Two stomp switches that let you bypass the effect or switch between presets1

Connections and power

The Multiverse pedal has stereo input and output jacks that support 1/4 inch TRS cables, and MusicRadar notes the Multiverse can be run in stereo12. It also has a MIDI input that lets you control the pedal with external MIDI devices, though a MIDI adaptor is recommended and sold separately1. The unit has MIDI and USB connections2.

Power is flexible: it can be powered by either a DC power input or the USB C port1.

The MIDI adaptor is recommended but sold separately, so plan for that if you intend to control the pedal from external MIDI devices2.

You can also attach two external expression pedals to control parameters while you play; MusicRadar describes these as a pair of expression pedal inputs with TRS connections12.

Where it came from

Whichever version of the Multiverse a player picks up, the on-board control scheme is the same: the pedal includes two stomp switches that let you bypass the effect or switch between presets1.
