Gamechanger Audio Announces the AUTO Pedal Series – No Treble
Gamechanger Audio has launched a new line of effects pedals called the AUTO Series that includes a Reverb unit, a Chorus, and a Delay model. The three pedals are said to introduce a new layer of parameter automation that responds to the player’s touch, dynamics, and note choices.
The AUTO Reverb, AUTO Chorus, and AUTO Delay have refined sound algorithms to make them great standalone pedals, although their primary advantage is being able to automate the sounds later, Gamechanger says. They draw inspiration from modular synths and have a patchbay interface to connect different features on the pedals.
“Each pedal’s AUTO Section has two on-board signal analysis engines, engineered to transfer musical nuances onto the effects parameters. The DYNAMICS tracker is fine-tuned to capture all details of playing dynamics, and animate parameters based on the player’s picking style as well as each instrument’s loudness and decay. The PITCH tracker detects note choices, and changes in the instrument’s tone. These automations can be linked to any of the four effect knobs, setting the parameters in motion,” they write. “The entire automation section is engaged with the AUTO footswitch. This allows for the automations to be prepared with the patch cables and then toggled ON or OFF as needed. The small PARAMETER AUTOMATION knobs directly below each of the main EFFECT PARAMETER knobs determine the amount of automation and direction for each parameter individually. The automation functions can be fine-tuned using calibration and several effect engagement modes.”
