full: Gamechanger Audio Third Man Records PLASMA Coil High Voltage Distortion Effect Pedal
  ['The PLASMA Coil is a version of the PLASMA Pedal designed together with Jack White and Third Man Records. It is a revolutionary way of producing distortion by converting your instrument’s signal into a series of 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 that creates strong contrasts between staccato notes, as well as eliminating all unwanted noise 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. In essence you are playing a bolt of electricity. The Jack White’s version has gritty and glitchy octave up and down effects: Volume boost, 2 subharmonic modes (bitcrush style octave down), 1 upper harmonic mode (Octafuzz style octave Up) and 2 mixed modes (upper and lower harmonics combined). These effects are toggled with the pedals secondary footswitch which can operate both in latching and momentary modes. The PLASMA Coil converts your instrument’s signal into a rapid series of electric discharges, which results in a large amount of nonlinear harmonic saturation that causes extremely rich and responsive attacks, and brings out screeching sharp overtones and harmonics. These harmonic artefacts, produced as a byproduct of the high voltage discharge are uncommon in traditional signal amplification, and therefore PLASMA Coil’s distortion is unlike anything you have heard before. As soon as you stop playing the electrical discharge within the gas filled tube is interrupted, and the pedal will not produce any output signal at all. This feature allows you to achieve extreme contrasts between individual notes, by eliminating all of the inbetween noises created by the instrument’s pickups or by humming strings']
  ['IT’S A TESLA COIL: The PLASMA Coil is a version of the PLASMA Pedal designed together with Jack White and Third Man Records.', 'HIGH   is a new and previously unexplored method of achieving signal clipping. You are playing a bolt of electricity, and the electrical discharges produced by the PLASMA Tube are instantly converted back into audio signal.', 'WIDE SCOPE OF  : From sputtery broken sounds to rhythmical staccato playing, to rich and very long sustaining lead sounds.', 'FX MODES OF PLASMA COIL: 6 gritty and glitchy octave up and down effects. Volume boost, 2 subharmonic modes (bitcrush style octave down), 1 upper harmonic mode (Octafuzz style octave Up) and 2 mixed modes (upper and lower harmonics combined).', ' INFO: Power supply is not included. The PLASMA Coil uses standard 9V DC center negative pedal power supply of at least 250 mA.']
