You can play it as a melodic doubler or harmony creator, use it as a powerful and versatile drone generator, or distort and process your instrument with the X-Mod and vocoder engines. This isn’t an emulation. This isn’t analog modeling. This is the raw sound of a brushed DC motor, pushed to the edge and tamed with precision control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW IT WORKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MOTOR Pedal uses a real-time pitch tracker to analyze your instrument's output. Whether you are using a guitar, a bass, or a microphone, the motor's rotational speed will be precisely matched to the fundamental frequency that you are playing. A carefully calibrated inductor captures the real-world motion of the motor’s spinning coils—transforming mechanical energy into a raw, electric audio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFIVE MOTOR-BASED SYNTHESIS ENGINES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOTOR - Raw electromagnetic pickup of the spinning coils. Glitchy, growling, magnetic.\u003cbr\u003eMXD - Cross-modulation of the motor with a digital waveform; creates harsh, distorted and metallic textures.\u003cbr\u003eM-WAVE - A digital oscillator that's pitch-locked and hard-synced to the motor's output; a multitimbral synth with an imperfect mechanical soul.\u003cbr\u003eCOIL MODE - Instead of spinning the motor with DC voltage, we inject alternating current into the motor's coils to create resonant analog vibrations and metallic hums.\u003cbr\u003eVOCODER MODE - A 24-band digital vocoder that uses the motor's output as the carrier and your instrument's signal as the modulator. Speak, sing, or shred directly through the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePARAMETER CONTROL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnalog Tone Boost – a powerful tilt EQ for shaping the motor output\u003cbr\u003eTwo volume knobs - independent volume control for dry signal and motor output\u003cbr\u003eMotor Drive – heavy analog distortion for the motor output\u003cbr\u003eEnvelope – go from short, punctuated stabs to envelope follower to long releases\u003cbr\u003eGlide – applies a portamento curve to the motor engine\u003cbr\u003eVibrato – classic pitch modulation, from subtle movement to wild oscillation\u003cbr\u003eMotor Interval Selector - offset the motor pitch: +\/- 1 octave or perfect fifths or perfect fourths\u003cbr\u003eX-Mod Mode – use amplitude modulation to cross-mod the input signal with all motor engines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTEP ON THE GAS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MOTOR Pedal comes equipped with a multi-mode gas pedal:\u003cbr\u003eACCELERATOR - create a wide range of controlled pitch-shift or floor it to redline the motor\u003cbr\u003eBRAKE - downward pitch-shift, or mash the pedal to bring the motor to a stall\u003cbr\u003eCLUTCH - temporarily disconnect the motor from the pitch-tracker, perfect for creating drones\u003cbr\u003eVOLUME - use the spring-loaded pedal to create satisfying volume swells\u003cbr\u003eDRIFT - play the pedal like a gentle vibrato arm, or just floor it to get a complete wipe-out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDURABILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MOTOR Pedal uses a specially-designed brushed DC electro-motor block as its core sound engine. Over time the motor's brushes will erode and the motor block will need to be replaced, indicated by the pedal's check engine light turning orange and then red. The motor block is a replaceable part with an estimated lifespan around 3000-5000 hours of intensive playing. Installing a replacement motor from GCA is a breeze, comparable to changing a set of tubes in your amp, and does not require professional servicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInput \u0026amp; Output Type: 1\/4” Unbalanced TS\u003cbr\u003eInput impedance: 0.5MΩ\u003cbr\u003eMaximum input level: 9 dBu\u003cbr\u003eOutput impedance: 100 Ω\u003cbr\u003eData USB-C: MIDI \u0026amp; Firmware update\u003cbr\u003eMIDI Connector: MIDI 5 PIN DIN cable input\u003cbr\u003eSound shift: -OCT, -5th, -4th, 0, +4th, +5th, +OCT\u003cbr\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz (±1 dB)\u003cbr\u003eSignal to noise ratio: 90 dB (A weighted)\u003cbr\u003eMotor system MAX speed: 9V\/500mA, 9V\/1A\u003cbr\u003eOperating temperature: 0º to 50º C\u003cbr\u003ePower Supply Connector Type: center negative 2.1 x 5.5 mm plug\u003cbr\u003eInput voltage: 9-12V DC\u003cbr\u003eInput current: minimum 500 mA\u003cbr\u003ePower consumption: 4.5-9 W\u003cbr\u003eProduct Dimensions: 18 x 10 x 8 cm \/ 7.1\" x 4\" x 3.2\" (L x W x H)\u003cbr\u003eProduct Weight: 1.07 kg (2.4 lb)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gamechanger Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47531552506034,"sku":"ACGAMMOTOR","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0084\/0659\/7712\/files\/3198462b-e7bf-4010-bbf8-d2445d82dfdf.jpg?v=1779962603","url":"https:\/\/www.citymusicannex.com\/products\/new-gamechanger-audio-motor-electro-mechanical-synth-voice-guitar-effects-pedal","provider":"City Music Annex","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
