The Gamechanger Audio Bigsby pedal is much more than an ordinary Pitch shifter. Developed in close cooperation with Fender, the effect pedal creates authentic lapsteel bends and distinctive vibrato effects via foot control, which, thanks to the powerful SHARC Audio processor, skilfully reproduce the effect of classic Bigsby vibrato systems including all their mechanical peculiarities. Furthermore, there are some useful additional functions on board the Gamechanger Bigsby Pedal, which make the innovative effect extremely interesting in interaction with other stompboxes and effect devices.
Pitch shifting and up to two octaves
The Gamechanger Audio Bigsby pedal provides extensive options for setting the desired Pitch bend range. The Depth knob allows you to set the range of the effect for both the Pitch Down and the Pitch and from a minimum deviation and a quarter tone up to a full octave. The status LED of the Depth control flashes at each semitone step, allowing you to precisely set the pitch effect to the desired target tone.
Harmonize Effects & Vibrato Sounds
In addition to the pure Pitch shifting function, the Gamechanger Audio Bigsby pedal also allows the smooth fading of the dry signal via blend control. This way, the pitch signal can be mixed with the dry signal when the pedal is pressed, and interesting harmonies can be created between both signal parts. For musicians who like to experiment, the Auto mode is also available, which determines the speed of the automatic vibrato effect continuously controlled by the Rate knob.
Expression and MIDI Connectors
The unique pedal design of the Gamechanger Audio Bigsby Pedal can be easily used with other real-time effects thanks to the front-panel Expression and Footswitch jacks, or alternatively switched to Latch Mode via external footswitches to permanently activate the Detune effect. Last but not least, there is a MIDI connector in 3.5 mm jack format for synchronization with other effects in the setup.
