MOTOR PEDAL OVERVIEW | SOUNDS, CONTROLS & GAS PEDAL | Gamechanger Audio
The MOTOR Pedal is a one-of-a-kind electromechanical synthesizer pedal from Gamechanger Audio— powered by a real brushed DC electromotor as its sound generator. This unique design unlocks a vast spectrum of melodic tones, from raw industrial grit to soaring, heavy textures that simply can’t be found anywhere else.
On top of that, the MOTOR Pedal introduces the spring-loaded GAS Expression Controller—a brand-new way to interact with sound. This innovative control system opens up expressive, performance-ready moves that make your MOTOR oscillator truly sing.
