Plus Pedal Piano-style Sustain Effect Pedal Review

One of the coolest pedals I've ever used!

If you are just using this pedal for a freeze only, that is cool. But this pedal really shines with the effects loop. For instance, you can put an SY-200 and Neo Ventilator II in the effects loop for some instant organ sounds and then use the Vent to change the ramp speed from slow to fast. Whatever you put in the effects loop, you can layer! This isn't a one trick pony and has… read more 2 different modes to explore! I got 2 of these, one for each mode, but in the end I was fine with just one because I like the layered option more. So yeah, I liked it so much I went overkill and got two! Plus it is so nice to stomp on this beautiful piano-like pedal, much more satisfying than the click of a switch. The only downside to this pedal is you need to learn how to capture your suspended note. Pluck the note, then right after do the freeze and press the pedal. What you are trying to capture is the "pure" sound and if you capture the "attack" of the note you can get some unwanted artifacts in the held "sample". Just like on a sustain pedal on a piano, you want to play then hit the sustain pedal. This pedal works in a similar fashion! So in short, this pedal is amazing, and you need to be think about what you are going to put in the effects loop, because if you don't utilize it, you aren't using this pedal to its full potential. Amazingly innovative pedal! Get it!

Recommend it!

This device is a heavy investment. Takes up a large amount of room as well. But thanks to its intuitive design you will find yourself exploring new sonic realms right out of the box. It's unlike any traditional looper. There is a few options currently from EHX and a new release from tc electronics which will accomplish infinite repeats. Being able to add multiple layers is… read more a unique feature to the plus. I would highly recommend you check out this. The pedal has a smooth throw and also is able to set the volume of the sustained notes.

Beautiful, both in sound and looks

This is a milestone pedal for me as makes transitions between song sections a lot prettier. Being able to sustain distortion while playing clean underneath adds a brand new dimension to dynamic playing. Thank you Game Changer and Sweetwater.

Everything They Said!

This replaced my EHX Freeze Pedal and the Freeze feature in my Boss multi effects pedal. The facts that it can gently fade in and out, lair more than one tone and have options on all parameters is literally a game changer!
