BIGSBY Pedal Jam Nr.2 | Gamechanger Audio | Rudolfs Ozols

The BIGSBY Pedal is a revolutionary polyphonic pitch shifter pedal that specializes in reproducing the string bending and vibrato effects produced by the BIGSBY Vibrato arm and other traditional vibrato systems.
The idea to create a BIGSBY-style pitch shifting pedal was born out of a long-standing admiration for the Bigsby system’s unique feel, sound and design.
We approached FENDER and BIGSBY with this idea back in 2019 and now the BIGSBY Pedal is finally becoming a reality!
Apart from the unique form factor which allows for simultaneous picking and bending, the BIGSBY Pedal also boasts a proprietary polyphonic algorithm with incredible tracking, clarity and responsivity.

In this video the BIGSBY Pedal is set up as an octave-up pitch shifter. Thanks to the Blend knob the BIGSBY can also function as a harmonizer (50-50 wet signal & dry signal) as you can see in the first part of the video (later the Dry signal is removed).

It’s so cool you can use this as a traditional Bigsby or reverse the pedal function and get “whammy” pedal functionality instead!

[@notjoeaverage]

This pedal may truly change the game. I ordered mine when I got back from a fly-in fishing trip, no connections to the outside world, just after they were announced, hoping it gets here soon. For every guy that wanted a Bigsby on his 335, Les Paul, SG or Gretsch, but didn't want to drill this could be the answer. It could also make the hardtail Strat more popular, imagine being able to get the sounds you want consistently without having to worry about tuning stability. Plus just keep playing and let your foot do the work. Once again these guys have gone from thinking outside the box to delivering a tool to expand your creativity. I have the Plus and Light Pedal, I don't use high gain and rarely use fuzz, but have been looking at the Plasma and Plasma Coil knowing that it could change my view or add to my thing just because of the geniuses behind them.

[@mj1205]

I highly recommend the Plasma Pedal as it has a Blend knob which the Plasma Coil does not. Both are great, but given your play style you're gonna want theBlend knob that the Plasma Pedal offers. I don't own the Plus pedal but have been interested for a while. What are your thoughts on it

[@Goth108]

This but with BBD chips doing the pitch shifting, instead of digital transposing, would be a dream pedal for me.

[@mikeroadblock]

Up down, down up? I’m in!

[@MrApprobatur]

DANG! Sounds SO good :D

[@phladjki]

it’s good, but I don’t want to hear it work like a whammy pedal. I want more showcasing how it’s a viable replacement for a bigsby.

[@baseboardmatt]

Then watch the previous video

[@phladjki]

@@baseboardmatt I did - I said I want more ;)

[@TheGuitarModder]

agreed

[@pav5355]

the function shown at 1:35 is very interesting. very keen to try this out

[@cloudboy7750]

I would mainly want this for the straight Bigsby style effect, but to my ears, this part of its abilities sounds more musical than, say, the Whammy

[@spacecityshakedown1981]

Does the mix knob, or anything else, affect the pedal in its rested state? In other words, what's happening to the signal when you're not touching the pedal?

[@ZachOgilby]

Gimme

[@officialpoa3171]

*stop playing games and go ahead and make the WAH WAH VERSION!!!!!*

[@wserafin11]

Frankly it’s very nice but over time it’s gonna be just another noisy pedal! It’s all in the player’s tastes!

[@jongreen2198]

Might be right about that. It looks cool but as a practical matter, I doubt I’d ever use it stacked into a bunch of other effects like in these videos. How about demonstrating basic operations first. Not sexy enough I suppose? Hype sells.
