Gamechanger Audio Light Pedal, anyone try it yet?

Mine arrived today and I'm loving it but curious if anyone here as used it so far. I wrote a pretty long review of it on reddit if anyone is interested:

Have only tested it out on guitar so far, will probably try keys/drums next but definitely excited to try it on bass. Would love to hear from someone who has tried it, some of the modes seem like they could be really cool on bass (or everything really)

Going to try and do some recording with it tonight while I'm not busy working, hopefully after tomorrow will get to spend a few days experimenting with it as it has tons of unique potential to explore.

I’m gonna get one eventually. Looks like a lot of fun.

It's pretty incredible, feels like something ehx/moog would have made. It works great as a typical reverb but it has a very unique feel to it on the different modes, very inspiring similiar to trying a unique effect like a wah or filter for the first time.

Knowing GamechangerAudio they are probably already working on a deluxe rack version of the Light Pedal, in the Making Of video on their channel the lead engineer who designed it (who is like 24~ by the way and made it for his college thesis) said that he wasn't finished working on it, and seeing how their previous Plasma pedal evolved into several even crazier iterations who knows. Would be wild to see a stereo rack version of it with even more controls though it would probably be a couple thousand....

Here's the making of video for anyone who's interested:

I had their plasma pedal for a bit and really enjoyed it. Might have to grab another.

Did you see the newer Plasma Coil version with even more octave modes? It can do some out of this world sounds, they also made a Plasma Rack and modular eurorack:

:drool:

Wish I could afford them, hopefully eventually. That plasma coil might be my next pedal if I can sell some gear as it seems like a serious fuzz killer that could replace a lot of stuff and just has such a unique sound.

Looks awesome. I’ll have to do some research.
