FULL-ON PLASMA SOUND

The PLASMA Coil does not feature a BLEND knob - when engaged it produces a fully WET signal, created by the PLASMA Tube circuit.

The pedal's output can be shaped with a master VOLUME knob, and two powerful EQ knobs (LOW Freq, Hi Freq) - each capable of providing a significant volume boost in their respective frequency range.

VOLTAGE CONTROL

The VOLTAGE KNOB lets you adjust the amount of current sent to the Xenon tube - effectively increasing or decreasing the threshold necessary for achieving an electrical discharge in the tube.

Lower VOLTAGE settings allow you to achieve extreme contrasts between individual notes, by and eliminate all of the in-between noises created by the intsrument’s pick-ups or humming strings.

When VOLTAGE is cranked, the PLASMA Coil will be very sensitive to any input signal, allowing you to create very long sustained lines. Still, you can always use your instrument’s volume knob or palm-muting techniques to control the gating effect.

FX MODES

The PLASMA Coil features a specially designed multi-mode FX section with six types of octave-down and octave-up circuits.

Subharmonics are produced by modulating the Xenon tube's Voltage with multiple divisions of the instruments fundamental frequency, resulting in a glitchy, distorted octave-down sound that is somewhere between a ring-mod and a bit-crush effect. Upper harmonics are produced by using a full-wave rectifier and band-pass filter, creating an octa-fuzz type sound with a distinct 2nd harmonic enhancement (which is perceived as an octave-up effect).

FX FOOTSWITCH

The PLASMA Coil features an additional footswitch for controlling the octave/boost FX Section. The FX Footswitch can be set to LATCHING or MOMENTARY mode with a two-position toggle switch on the pedal's back panel.

The PLASMA Coil is a version of the PLASMA Pedal designed together with Jack White and Third Man Records.

The PLASMA Coil is a revolutionary way of producing distortion by converting your instrument’ssignal into a seriesof high-voltage plasma discharges in a sealed xenon filled tube.The result is an incredibly sharp and sizzling overdrive that is extremely clear, responsive, and most importantly fun!

This patent-pending technology of high-voltage electric discharge also acts as a natural noise-gating device thatcreates strong contrasts between staccato notes, as well as eliminating all unwanted noise and pick-up hum. ThePLASMA Coil’s electric discharge tube produces beautiful visible bolts of lightning that react to the input signal, thuscreating a captivating experience for all players. In essence you are playing a bolt of electricity.

Effects

Compared to the regular PLASMA Pedal the Jack White’s version doesn’t have the dry/wet signal blend control, butinstead hasgritty and glitchy octave up and down effects:

  • Volume boost
  • 2 subharmonic modes (bitcrush-style octave down)
  • 1 upper harmonic mode (Octafuzz-style octave Up)
  • 2 mixed modes (upper and lower harmonics combined).These effects are toggled with the pedals secondary footswitch which can operate both in latching and momentarymodes
