Here's what Gamechanger Audio say about the Plasma Rack:
The PLASMA RACK is a 1U sized high-end audio effects unit designed for professional and studio use. At its heart is the unique High Voltage Distortion concept – a brand new way of analog signal processing developed in 2018 by Gamechanger Audio.
Sound
By using a High voltage step-up flyback transformer, PLASMA RACK turns your instrument’s signal into a rapid series of electric discharges in a Xenon-filled tube. These powerful discharges (up to 5500 Volts) then get picked up by a specially designed electromangatec receiver and turned back into audio-level signal. This process results in a large amount of punishingly heavy distortion, and also saturates the sound with a wide range of harmonics and overtones.
The harmonic artefacts, created as a byproduct of the high-voltage discharge are uncommon in traditional signal amplification, and therefore PLASMA distortion is unlike anything you have heard before. The way PLASMA Rack reacts with different instruments and sound sources simply cannot be recreated with any other analog machine, plugin or by digital sound modeling.
Testimonies
“The Plasma Rack is fantastic to add to guitar solos, kick and snare drum, vocals and bass! Breathtaking fuzz and buzz and the squelchy breakup that happens at the end of a note is impossible to recreate with anything else, just fantastic! Pretty much the best new piece of rack gear I’ve got in years!“ – Vance Powell (Jack White, The Raconteurs, Arctic Monkeys, Wolfmother)
“The Plasma Rrack takes the Plasma pedal a whole new level! The extra EQ control, the pad on the input and the trem/ring mod feature will take whatever thoughts you had about distortion and manipulation to a higher level. This thing can mangle a sound like nobody’s business!” – Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of The Stone Age, Kyuss, The Melvins)
“The Plasma Rack by Gamechanger Audio is one of the most unique effects racks I have come across. I love the gritty textures the plasma tube brings to my synth sounds and drum loops. An essential piece of kit to anyone looking for something truly unique and different!“ – Richard Devine (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Jaguar, BMW, Nike)
