Gamechanger Audio Third Man Records Plasma Coil 3,500-Volt Distortion Pedal

Gamechanger Audio Plasma Coil Distortion/Fuzz Pedal

The plasma literally strips paint off wall.

Gamechanger Audio challenges you to find a single pedal that takes your sound from clean to this level of insanity, whilst still being fully playable both with power chords, low riffs and solos.

PLASMA Coil is a special version of the PLASMA Pedal designed in close cooperation with Jack White and Third Man Records.
It takes the PLASMA Pedal’s High Voltage discharge technology to a whole new levelby adding multiple Octaver-style circuits, and an additional effects footswitch that can be toggled as latching or momentary.

Instead of the Blend control, the PLASMA Coil features a selector switch that lets you choose between 6 different analogue Boost and Octave Up & Down modes.

The Coil’s octave modes are achieved by circuits specifically designed for driving the Plasma Tube,and they don’t sound like any other octave or fuzz effect you’ve heard before.


High Voltage Distortion technology

At the heart of the Plasma Coil's is GCA's innovative High Voltage Distortion technology that produces distortion by expressing the audio signal as a series of electrical discharges.

Even though they’ve been printing the words: "High Voltage Rock’n’Roll" on AC/DC t-shirts since 1973, Plasma Distortion is the first (and only) commercial musical device that literally amplifies the audio signal to thousands of Volts (3000-3500 V).

The result is a completely new and unique type of sound that cannot be mistaken for any other distortion -an incredibly sharp and sizzling fuzz tone that almost sounds like a guitar plugged into an electrical tazer gun.Additionally, the spark tube’s characteristics act as a natural noise-gating device that creates strong contrasts between staccato notes, as well as eliminating all unwanted noise, feedback and pickup hum.

The PLASMA Coil’s electric discharge tube produces beautiful visible bolts of lightning that react to the input signal, thus creating a captivating experience for all players. In essence – you are playing a bolt of electricity.
