The Gamechanger Audio Third Man Records Plasma Coil Octave Distortion is a unique high-voltage distortion pedal developed in collaboration with Jack White's Third Man Records. This pedal utilizes a unique high-voltage distortion circuit, amplifying your audio signal up to 3500 Volts via electrical discharges within a xenon tube, unlike other effects like a Fuzz Face. Featuring controls for EQ, voltage, and a master volume, it provides a wide range of distortion and octave-style effects, including sub-harmonic and upper-harmonic modes, offering exceptional versatility for guitars, bass, synthesizers, and drum machines.
Guitarists found the Plasma Coil to be an exceptional and versatile fuzz pedal. They appreciated the wide range of sounds it could produce, from classic fuzz to gated tones, and noted its ability to handle complex chords. While some mentioned the price, they agreed that the sound quality and unique approach to distortion made it worth the investment.
