Besides producing a "lightning bolt" - the PLASMA COIL generates a
unique kind of distortion with many distinctive qualities:
- UNUSUAL HARMONIC SATURATION
- UNUSUAL HARMONIC SATURATION
When audio signal is driven by a step-up transformer, all the harmon-
ics and overtones that are present in the original signal become very
pronounced. There is also a certain amount of "noise pollution" that
is created by the transformer and gas-tube system - it could be
described as "crackle" or "buzz", and it adds an electric quality to the
sound.
- NOISE-GATING PROPERTIES
By playing around with the VOLTAGE Knob you can adjust the amount
of current sent to the PLASMA COIL'S discharge tube. On lower
settings - only heavy signals will create sufficient power to connect
the electrodes, and you will hear a distinctly gated sound. As the
signal drops beneath a certain threshold, the electrical passage
within the gas-filled tube is interrupted, and the pedal will not
produce any output signal at all. This feature allows you to achieve
extreme contrasts between individual notes, by eliminating all of
the in-between noises created by the intsrument's pick-ups or by
humming strings.
The Gating effect can also be used to significantly alter how the
instrument responds to various picking and strumming techniques &
how the instrument sustains notes.
- EXTREMELY WIDE EQ
As mentioned above - the PLASMA COIL discharges the original DRY
input between the PLASMA Tube's electrodes and creates a new audio
signal from fluctuations in the electromagnetic field surrounding
the transformer and the gas-discharge tube. This allows to bring out
an extremely wide range of frequencies that are often beyond the
instrument's capabilities. Take a Telecaster, plug it into the PLASMA
COIL and crank the LOW end - you will hear twice as much bass, than
the instrument can produce under normal circumstances.
THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE PLASMA Coil
- the ultimate high-voltage distortion unit!
We congratulate you on your excellent taste and we would
like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making
this Tesla-Coil experiment possible!
The PLASMA Coil is a special edition of Gamechanger Audio's
PLASMA Pedal - the world's first commercial high voltage analog
audio processor. Our job is to invent exciting music technology
that inspires you to create new music. We are certain that the 3.5
kV of raw Rock'n'Roll power, packed into this pedal will do you
a world of good. Thank you, and:
~ Keep on Rockin' in the Gluten-free world! ~
HOW THE PLASMA COIL WORKS
Instead of using LED circuits, transistors or traditional vacuum
tubes, the PLASMA COIL achieves distortion by converting your
instrument's signal into a series of electrical impulses that
are sent to a step-up fly-back transformer. The transformer
amplifies these electrical bursts to thousands of Volts and the
current is discharged in special gas-filled tube.
The discharge produced by the transformer creates strong
electro-magnetic waves that can be picked up with an special
antenna or pick-up, de-modulated and re-formed back into an
audio signal. This is how PLASMA COIL is able to convert
instrument level signal into thousands of volts, and then turn
these bursts of electrical energy back into audio signal.
The discharge tube is essentially a glass chamber housing a
pair of electrodes and filled with Xenon gas. Xenon is one of
the so-called noble gasses, and when it comes in contact
with electrical current, a process called ionization occurs.
Ionized gas becomes partially conductive and essentially it
"helps" electricity to travel between the electrodes. As a
byproduct of ionization, the gas converts a tiny part of the
electrical energy into visible light. Thanks to the tinted
plexi-glass the Xenon discharges appear yellow.
Enjoy your brand new PLASMA COIL!
KNOBS AND CONTROLS
Lets you adjust the amount of current
sent to the Xenon tube - effectively
increasing or decreasing the threshold
necessary for achieving a discharge in
the tube.
Optimal setting that will
give you a reasonable amount
of
sustain,
while
still
preserving a very pronounced
noise-gating effect.
More like a cranked fuzz with lots of sustain and lots
of feedback.
However, even when VOLTAGE is cranked, you can use
your instrument's volume knob or palm-muting
techniques to achieve noticeable gating.
Standard Master Volume control - set to unity
volume when turned to the 12 o'clock position,
but may vary depending on the EQ knob
Settings.
EQ section that allows you to
shape and mold your tone - these
controls are very wide and can be
used to achieve extreme settings.
Only loud, powerful signals will
pass through the xenon tube -
strong gating effect, a lot of
breakup and almost no sustain.
