When I first saw the Bigsby pedal I thought it was cool but also a bit much just to replicate the sounds of an on guitar bigsby vibrato, surely any other pitch modulation pedal could do something similar right? RIGHT???? Now I feel like a gosh danged fool for doubting the geniuses at Game Changer Audio. There is a ton of expressive musical fun crammed into this big pedal.

This pedal checks all of my boxes! It opens up so many possibilities and encourages creativity and experimentation; Built robustly; Is intuitive to use; And its versatility, functionality and design was REALLY well thought out. What I really like about this company is they are truly striving for USEFUL innovation, as so many companies are cranking out pedals that are redundantly similar to much of what's already out there, with tiny tweaks (especially fuzzes and distortion pedals!). A lot of these pedals are now going towards $300-400, so this should make one extra discriminating with their precious musical dollars! Good review!

I play in two piece duo consisting of guitar and drums and have been utilising a plus pedal for several years finding it invaluable at filling out our sound... being able to mimic a Hammond B3 sound is just one of the ways I use it... the genius of Game Changer designs is the ability to tailor unique sounds based upon your individual playing style... allowing the pedal to become an extension of your playing ... I like that Game Change pedals have relatively simple learning curves yet can yield many varied and complex results depending on how they're set and manipulated....they indeed make inspiring stuff....

Maybe branding it as The Bigsby pedal limits some people's appreciation and imagination for what this can do. A first rate, flexible chorus and the ultimate interactive expression pedal. I've always wanted an expression pedal with some pushback. And bravo on that sustain pedal art. Strange new pedal worlds.

@@philbrook5655 not sure if your making a funny…. Ya you need to tune as you do before every set; but the difference is, a pitch bend (especially a big dive) on a traditional wiggle stick will almost always knock you guitar out of tune to everyone else. Ya, Floyd’s and other mechanisms help; but this solves that problem and sounds great doing it. And of course if your guitar doesn’t have a pitch bend stick, that’s solved too.

What an amazing video this is! I love you, I love your attitude, I love your music. So I'm from the "60s". Woodstock, counter-culture, the whole bit. I once got kicked out of Steve Paul's Scene, in "The Village" when I was too young and was attracted to strange new sounds inside. It was Jimi Hendrix fooling around. So one of the most important things in those days was exploration! We had the fuzz and wah, pedal period. But it was amazing where it could take you sonically. Electric guitar is just that, electric. Your technique and imagination, timing is fantastic. Oh the places you can go! So for me you took me to new places I have never heard on electric guitar. Solo. Which is hard. Technology can advance art. I believe you are advancing the art of electronic guitar playing. Very cool! Thanks! Saxi🎷

You are 100% bang on about the physical feel. I always felt annoyed how virtually every other rocking pedal is just...free floating? There's no resistance, no feedback whatsoever. And I know that they are just connected to a string that turns the knob in essence, but nobody ever bothered to come up with something that provides a little bit of a mechanical interaction. This pedal though feels so satisfying.
@pedroleal7118 7 ай бұрын
Hi! It might be an exception, but the Ibanez WD7 'Weeping Demon' wah, uses the same principle, in 'auto' mode+ You can set the 'resistance' to your taste or leave it free-floating ! Take care.

BUT, getting to have hands on experience with this pedal did actually turn my opinions around on it and thats why I made a point of that in the video and title/thumbnail. I could easily produced a demo that was just a flat presentation of its features without interjecting personal opinion. But I thought my initial impressions being challenged would be a compelling premise for the demo. Was I wrong?
