Gamechanger Audio PLUS Sustain Pedal | Reverb Tone Report 

What makes Andy's reviews so good? First, he is an excellent player. Second, he never plays garbage to show off. Instead he plays music perfectly suited to show what the pedal does. Third, he LISTENS to what he is playing and the pedal and reacts to it. He literally shows you how you will creatively interact with the device. Massive respect for all three of these. As for the pedal itself: looks great, but I think it costs too much for everyday amateur musicians. I hope the company sells enough to keep going with what they are doing.

Price aside, this is easily one of the most practical pedals I've ever own. I use it everywhere

This video does not even scratch the surface of the capabilities of this pedal. I bought recently and i am extremely happy with it. When I first started playing guitar about 10 years ago, I dreamt that someday this pedal would exist. As soon as I saw this video I bought it. It's pricey as hell but it's well worth it for my style of playing. Btw this thing NAILS Shine on you crazy Diamond

This is one of the most useful and innovative pedals I've ever seen. It puts the guitar on par with a piano in it's ability to reach so many notes and harmonies at once. As a piano and guitar player who can never stick to one because of this, I'm so excited by something like this. It really is a game changing pedal, that's just a factual statement. Wow and I'm just realizing it now, this pedal isn't only limited to a guitar after all. It can be used with anything you can plug into it, a wind instrument for example, even your voice! Sheeeeesh

You are King of the RU-vidr's, because there is nothing that you could not sound awesome. No ego, nothing superfluous, no bullshit. Just perfection, RESPECT.

Andy: Pushes pedal once Me: I need this

As always, an excellent video demo - just what I needed to know. Many thanks.

Hey Andy! I've been enjoying your demos since the Pro Guitar Shop days. You are as awesome as ever!

One of the most innovative pedals I've seen in several years. Definitely adding to my wishlist.

I’ve been dreaming about this pedal for ages!

Andy makes every pedal sounds great

Esse pedal é fantástico. Tudo o que eu sempre sonhei em um pedal! Incrível!

wonderful demo, thanks!

Andy@Reverb, I apologize. Weeks ago I may have sounded sharp, asking why this breakout pedal from NAMM 2017 hadn't been reviewed. And here you are doing the BEST review I've seen, and applying nuances I haven't figured out yet. You're a musician and a gentleman. 🎸

Had this pedal for a while now and absolutely love it.

Now this is a sustainable resource

Stay til the last minute, folks. Fantastic guitar playing, Andy!

Whenever I look up a pedal review and Andy pops up I know before I watch the video that I'm going to buy the pedal because it's 100% going to sound like magic in a box.

That was pretty incredible.

Great demo and a cool pedal...

Oh look out "Shine on you crazy diamond" live at the Albert Hall, here I come. Great Demo!!!

This review right here... effective ✅ Sold!! Great demo!!

As always a nice review. Interesting pedal. I can already see some use for it, but it is expensive. Need to give this some serious thought.

now this would be cool for playing Krautrock

Andy is the leader of our people. Long live the King!

Very cool, that GUITAR though 💜😍

Beautiful intro mate

Most unique and useful pedal in a long time in my book.

awesome idea!

I've been looking for an in-depth, nuanced review of this pedal, and of course Andy does it brilliantly. The PLUS Sustain is really unique and offers a simple and natural sustain with a bunch of other dynamic features that can be used across a range of genres. Thanks Andy.

I can't believe this didn't exist before.

Awesome progressions Andy

3:02 im a lo-fi indie guy through and through, but this was one of the coolest things ive ever heard

Wowness abounds!

N i i c e demo . . thanks

I NEED THIS! TAKE MY MONEY!

That’s a sweet guitar wish I had one like that

This is really cool. I like how it's like a piano sustain pedal.

Very useful pedal.love a company not making clones of other pedals. Unique

This pedal is badass

to each their own, but i had a superego and sold it because the frozen signal sounded awful. this seems like a nicer alternative.

As a guitarist who also plays piano, I'm seriously considering this pedal, as the pedal action would be serious intuitive for me. Perhaps may try my classical guitar through my acoustic amp as well. BUT - it appears that you probably can't do anything melodic with OD using this pedal. Total feedback loop incoming.

nothing better than the incredible Finch pedals @

Wow, this thing sounds/looks like the real deal. Great innovation and ingenuity.

Wow, this does a lot more than I thought It must be crazy good with electric pianos also

Andy's the enchanting wizard of pedals after all, and the amount is a small price to pay to support Baltic smiths' craft.

When pianists and guitarists unite!

best pedal that I ever had the pleasure of hearing! I've watch a lot of Guitar Pro Shop Dems and this pedal is penetrating my mind, it's like the big bang my third Eye that wraps around my body and I get goos pimples... yea

brilliant.

So, it's like an improvement on a Freeze pedal. With reverb added.

I see it puts a smile on you face

I've just not noticed the gear used is being mentioned in the description. Nice.

So this is basically an EHX Freeze with a switch that's made to be used that way and therefore won't break within a month of using it. I like it!

0:54 Andy having that "Wow this pedal rocks face."

If you want slea then you'll show all sides of music Andrew!!!!! Unreal

The way they make pedals today (esp. noisy, non-musical one's like Gamechanger) I thought I was almost done with my traditional set-up on my pedalboard, but now - I WANT THIS! I WANT IT AND WILL KILL FOR IT! or, maybe I could call my Mom. lol.

This would be sick for drone metal.

Bill Frisel would like this pedal and this demo! good on ya!

I feel in love with that pedal when it appeared on TPS. Holy shit it's amazing. Congrats on the amazing demo of it, really beautiful.

YES!!!! I've been waiting for this!!! Do the plasma pedal by Game Changer next!!

This goes a hundred times beyond a note freeze pedal. I cant believe this was not done 70 years ago.

Very cool. Nice demo. I need one! How much?

adding this to a pedalboard would be fun but ...like, where in the chain would I put it? Pre Looper? Post Looper? Parallel? Might have to buy two ..fricken' cool with the dry wet switch

Rad 👌🏿

This seem like an awesome pie e of equipment. However, I would like to hear how it reacts to a really heavy distortion. Every video demonstrations I've seen of these kinds of sustainer pedals all play fairly clean tones and they all go for that ambient type music. Which is awesome, don't get me wrong. I could probably spend days by my amp playing around with those kinds of sounds myself, but I would also like to see how this would fair when it comes to say switching between a heavily distorted chorus part of a song to a verse with a clean tone, all while the last distorted note fades out in the background.

What a cool pedal. Unique.

Can it pick up a few consequent notes as piano/synth pedals do? Or it works as a momentary switch as well as EHX Freeze that sustains only notes sounding at the moment? I did not quite get the idea of a 'group mode' -overdubbing?

My only question is where to put it in the chain. I have the Superego plus, and this sounds far better. Plus, the Superego has a voice like quality that I can't seem to change. I'll be selling it, and getting this.

This is really, really cool. Dang.

This is a MathRock player's dream.

That intro guitar song sounds like: Bye and Stuff from Scott Pilgrim vs the world

That Reverend sounds incredible

Seems like a higher grade (& price) to the EHX Freeze pedal. Just wondering if it's worth 3 to 4 times the cost....hmmm?

even if I buy piano pedal and mod ehx it will be cheaper. Freeze is also very responsive. Is this this pedal quick?

nice

Or you could use an actual piano sustain pedal with something like a Zoia, a Timeline, a Nemesis, almost any EXP-equipped thing capable of doing loops and/or delays in a customisable way. As a bonus, those things can also be what they were meant to be: delays and loopers. I’ve actually used a Hall of Fame 2 for that, reverb can also be cool.

Andy kicks ass!

If this or EHX Freeze ever speed up the rate onbthusctype of pedal, I'd use it in a heartbeat. As they are, they sample SO SLOWLY, you can only get the samples at about 60-80 BPM. Useless for anything but super slow ambient type playing. I'm looking for quick comps for medium and up playing. Oh well, maybe someday.

Does it have an FX loop for the wet signal so you can add some modulation or extra effects to just the wet?

Could you demonstrate how to use this to get effects like Dave Gilmore uses on shine on you crazy diamond acoustic?

This is the only guitarist on RU-vid whose pedal demos don't make me feel like I'm at Guitar Center (e.g. obnoxious masturbatory shredding).

I wonder if David Gilmour has one of these yet. Imagine if this was around 30 years ago

They should call this the "Gilmour/Wright Accompanist" or "Eugene Wishes You Were Here To Set The Controls For The Echos Of High Hopes In The War Dogs" Guess that'd be pretty hard to screen-print though. Love it! Want one!

Damn this gonna be Cool with my lap steel,,,just sayin””

neat

Where can I get one of Andy's invisible pics?

this doesnt seem like a bad pedal but i feel like the procession pedal from Old Blood noise does the same thing, maybe even better, for a much more reasonable price

Great pedal idea. Love the guitar by the way. What is it?

Found this demo on lsd... wow dude

i need this, so cool but so expensive.. are there any good alternatives if you are on a budget?

this would be great for drone metal

How about a Fender Bass?

Wow

That is really cool. Is there any pedal that does the same thing for like, $30? haha

Bill Frisell have just buy it. Sure.

There is a great comparison between this one and the ehx superego plus, and the ehx sounds better and has more possibilities (effects only on the holded sound etc.) for less bucks. Seems like the gamechanger audio plus has some problems caused by the short loop it uses to hold the sound....sometimes you can hear it in this test...tested both self and decided for the ehx too...

Sounds great, looks fairly simple to use and would satisfy the pianist in me. But for $300+? That seems a bit high for something like this.

How is this different from MXR delay echo?

Just saw this from Wes Borland’s IG. Then the price tag ended it all.

How's it sound with distortion?
