Soundblox Motion-Controlled Distortion, Flanger, Phaser & Wah Guitar Pedals Introduced By Source Audio, Creator Of The Award Winning Hot Hand Effects Systems
New Multiwave Distortion, Tri-Mod Flanger, Tri-Mod Phaser & Tri-Mod Wah effects pedals give guitarists the freedom to choose from wide range of unique new high quality sounds.
Woburn, MA (PRWEB) January 30, 2008 -- Source Audio, creators of the award winning* Hot Hand Motion® Control Wah Filter and Phaser/Flanger systems, is again redefining the world of guitar effects with the introduction of its new Soundblox™ guitar effects pedals at this year's Winter NAMM Show.
After creating the first effects system enabling guitarists to control proprietary Wah and Phaser/Flanger effects using hand and body motions, Source Audio was committed to bringing the same level of innovation and creativity to the new Soundblox guitar pedals. The company has gone to great lengths to come up with new and unique sounding effects that can be modulated with the Hot Hand Controller, available separately in either wireless or wired configurations, or driven either by an LFO or Envelope Follower.
A case in point is the Soundblox Multiwave Guitar Distortion pedal that gives guitarists 21 truly unique and modern distortion effects. Based on new algorithms, these cover an extremely wide range from essential electronic sounds to aggressive synth-like, octave heavy and extreme foldback settings that go far beyond typical emulations of existing distortions.
Guitarist Chuck Garvey of moe., the first to use the Soundblox Multiwave Guitar Distortion pedal enthused, "I love the Soundblox Distortion! It's a chunky, creamy, tweaker's dream. The high gain is dense with lots of sustain. In addition to the fuzzy, over the top sounds, you can do killer chicken pickin' with clear compression and zero gain, OR choose from the synth-sounding, octave-up settings that recreate clavinet and other amazing sounds. Super flexible and easy to use."
In the multi band mode, the Multiwave Distortion also divides the input signal into multiple frequency bands, which are then separately distorted before being recombined. This enables guitarists to play complex distorted chords while each note can be heard with exceptional clarity. Several notes can be allowed to drone simultaneously while a separate melody is played on top with different notes feeding back at the same time.
Based on the Hot Hand Wah Filter and Hot Hand Phaser/Flanger effects systems, the Soundblox Tri-Mod Guitar Wah pedal, the Soundblox Tri-Mod Guitar Flanger pedal and the Tri-Mod Guitar Phaser pedal each offer 11 different effects that feature the same high quality sounds as their predecessors.
The Tri-Mod Wah, Phaser and Flanger guitar effects pedals can be further modulated using the Frequency, Depth and Speed controls for additional sounds. The Frequency control sets the filter sweep to lower or higher frequencies. Depth drives the effect with either an LFO or Envelope Follower and controls the depth of each modulation source. Speed controls either the attack and decay time of the envelope or the speed of the LFO.
If the Hot Hand motion Controller is used, a subset of controls on each Soundblox guitar pedal adjusts the Hot Hand controller to suit an individual's playing style.
All Soundblox guitar effects pedals feature state-of-the-art 56 bit DSP co-developed with Analog Devices, Inc. and crystal clear 24-bit A/D D/A converters for exceptional sound quality.
Source Audio LLC, a new technology enterprise founded by former executives of Analog Devices, Inc. and the world of private equity is bringing yet another revolutionary idea in effects control and processing to the music industry.
*The Hot Hand Wah Filter won the Guitar Player 2007 Editor's Pick Award and The Hot Hand Wah Filter and Phaser/Flanger won Guitar World's 2007 Platinum Award for Quality & Design.
MSRP for the Soundblox pedals is $149.99.
MSRP for the Hot Hand Wireless Adapter & Controller is $150.
MSRP for the Hot Hand Wired Controller is $24.95
