Third Man Records Plasma Coil Distortion Pedal
Designed together with Jack White and Third Man Records, the PLASMA Coil takes HIGH VOLTAGE DISTORTION to new heights by adding intense, gritty and glitchy octave up and down effects.
The PLASMA product series is a revolutionary approach within the realm of overdrive and distortion, as it is a new and previously unexplored method of achieving signal clipping.
Instead of using LED circuits, transistors or vacuum tubes to produce overdrive, PLASMA technology transforms your instrument’s live signal into a series of continuous high-voltage discharges within a xenon-filled tube.
You're playing a bolt of lightning.
In essence – you are playing a bolt of electricity, and the electrical discharges produced by your instrument are instantly converted back into an analog audio signal, producing a quick, responsive, and extremely heavy distortion with TONS of unique character!
Overview
• Volume boost
• 2 subharmonic modes (bitcrush-style octave down)
• 1 upper harmonic mode (Octafuzz-style octave Up)
• 2 mixed modes (upper and lower harmonics combined)
The PLASMA Coil's octave effects are created by a unique analog circuit designed specifically for driving a high-voltage transformer. The subharmonic modes will add massive low end to higher notes and the Upper Harmonic modes will add fire and razorblades to riffs and low-tuned chords.
The PLASMA Pedal's BLEND control is removed, so you always are on 100% PLASMA.
The PLASMA Coil is even more grittier than PLASMA Pedal and the added effects make it a very expressive distortion unit.
