Gamechanger Audio Motor Pedal
Gamechanger Audio's Motor Pedal is an electromechanical synthesizer fed by the unbridled sound of your guitar, bass, or keyboard; driven by passion. At its heart lies a physical brushed DC motor that serves as the oscillator controlled by a pitch-tracking engine that accurately replicates your instrument's tonal nuance. Across five synthesis modes—MOTOR, MxD, M-WAVE, COIL, and VOCODER— the engine's character changes from jagged, glitchy harmonics to singing coil resonances and spectral vocaloid textures.
More than just a gimmick, the Motor Pedal offers tweakable parameters and unique foot control. Dual signal paths for the clean and motor'd signals allow for tasteful blending, while a tilt EQ and analog drive help to add some giddyup to your mosey. The onboard accelerator expression pedal can accelerate, brake, drift, glide, or clutch, depending on mode, adding a physical performance layer second-to-none. Vibrato, glide, and extended release times offer organic phrasing options, while MIDI integration and USB connectivity make it ready to be integrated into any setup—studio or stage. Gamechanger has continuously created unique audio devices and the Motor Pedal might just be the most interesting pedal you add to your board.
Motor Pedal Features
Electromechanical, motor-based synthesizer in a pedal format
Real brushed DC motor oscillator with precision pitch-tracking engine
MOTOR Mode converts your instrument's pitch into the natural hum of a spinning DC motor for raw, organic electromechanical tone generation
MxD Mode blends motor oscillation with digital pitch tracking to create complex waveforms
M-WAVE Mode uses pulse-width modulation and wave-shaping derived from motor feedback for evolving, synth-like textures
COIL Mode uses electromagnetic interference directly from the motor's coil and doesn't engage the motor
VOCODER Mode cross-modulates your instrument's signal with the motor oscillator to create vocal adjacent effects
Built-in analog drive, EQ, and modulation controls
Dual clean and motor volume paths for tonal blending
Integrated expression pedal with five performance modes (Accel, Brake, Clutch, Drift, Volume)
MIDI and USB-C connectivity for expanded control and updates
