The LIGHT Pedal is the world's first Optical Spring Reverb System - based on Teo's original, groundbreaking concept of using optical pick-ups in order to harvest the full spectral range of a spring reverb tank's movements.
Back in 2018 we had the pleasure to meet a young, brilliant and musically gifted 1st year electronics student by the name of Teodors Kerimovs.
Teo had applied to GCA's first ever summer internship position and as soon as we met him we realized we're dealing with an extraordinary person.
His uplifting personality, deep passion for audio electronics, combined with immense musical talent - there was no choice but to hire him on the spot.
Over the last two-and-a-half years Teo has demonstrated nothing but excellence, continuous growth and an exemplary work ethic.
Under close daily supervision of the whole GCA Engineering team, Teo was able to bring the final product to life after 18 months of hard, meticulous and oftentimes frustrating work.
The LIGHT Pedal was made possible by our amazing supporters, who showed their trust in Teo's concept by raising over 270 thousand dollars in a stunning pre-order campaign back in February 2020. These 750+ loyal fans have waited for almost a year to receive their LIGHT Pedals - all personalized and hand-signed by Teo.
We would like to sincerely thank all of you and those watching this video for supporting Gamechanger Audio and believing in innovation in the field of music-electronics.
The first commercial batch of LIGHT Pedals will be ready to hit the stores in MARCH 2021!

It's quite interesting to see the circuit in it's "Frankenstein" stage of development, and I rather enjoyed seeing a young person design a circuit without staring at a cad program. Good work, Teodors!

The visual design of it is a work of art, seeing the light and springs interact with sound is incredibly trippy! Also it shipped from Latvia to Oregon in 3 days which blows my mind.

This is great. Might be nice to have a stereo version of the pedal that can handle line-level inputs for synthesizers, etc. Perhaps 2 spring tanks for Left and Right channels) where the lights can move in 2D as opposed to 1D.

Man… This has shook me. I’ve been lusting after the plasma pedals for years now. Today I won a pedal in the 5 year giveaway (woooohooo), and I thought the choice was easy. Then I spoke to the other winner, and started researching the light pedal in depth. With this video, it’s now clear that, no, not the plasma, the light will be mine 🤩 Teo is such an amazingly driven person, I recognise myself when I was younger and not yet chronically ill. I started working at an IT company with the same kind of open and experimental environment as I see in this video. The world was a playground. After becoming sick, I lost that youthful spirit for a few years, falling into depression, only to rise out when playing guitar. Luckily I’ve found my soul again, and I can be a dad for my kids, and a husband to my wife, even though I’m often bedridden and in lots of pain. I’ve found God, so to say. The light, in other words. After seeing this video, I feel very strongly that this pedal fits my life and music. You guys rock! Make more magic, please. I know now that I will save money for more of your amazing products. Even if it takes years 😊 Amazing people deserve amazing support.

I have to say this, I've enjoyed this video so much, not only for Teodors, who looks to be a cool passionate guy, who enjoys music above all, but also because it's 20 years since I play guitar and I've seen the rise and fall of pedals and gear, and the more I grow old, the more I feel disenfranchised with modern guitar technology, but that early feeling of excitement and curiosity has appeared again with this pedal, it does look and sounds awesome. Many thanks to Teodors for this video!
@GamechangerAudio
@GamechangerAudio 3 года назад
Thank you, Paulo! ❤️ That's a feeling we really try to keep around - that excitement and curiosity, both - about the technological means and about the resulting sounds and their applications in music. And we're always happy to hear if our products inspire musicians to look for interesting sounds and give them that same curious ear!

fascinating to hear the story of how this amazing looking and sounding pedal evolved straight from the guy that developed it. One of my favourite pedals is the Plus (which I've had for about 18 months now) - sometimes you get so engrossed in using it and all the sounds it can produce that I realise I'm no longer really playing the guitar but, in reality, actually just playing the pedal. It's so much fun. The Light Pedal is definitely getting ordered when my next paycheck arrives - I can't wait!

It's like any other spring reverb, it will make a thunderclap if you bump it. However it has a shock sensor with different settings just in case you don't want it to go kaboom

Teo, you asked for feedback, so allow me to offer mine... First of all, thank you for your determination and brilliance. I started playing guitar at age 14, and I'm now 56. My goal was always an attempt to make the electric guitar NOT sound like an electric guitar. For myself, effects of all sorts have been a constant inspiration to find that next "soundscape". As such, when something as revolutionary as the light pedal comes along, it serves to open a new and undiscovered horizon. For that... I thank you. Keep up the great work. (P.S. My Plasma pedal rocks too!)

@nilesanders5110
@nilesanders5110 2 года назад
When demonstrating a peddle, get it in the signal flow correctly. This is the order of signal flow, it will serve you well to know this. 1. Guitar > any booster > outboard EQ > distortion pedals > the preamp in gain (the preamp for your amplifier) and tone controls > effect loop out > delay > Chorus/flanger > reverb > effects loop in > power side of the amplifier. Your demonstration suffers from not understanding why you apply reverb to a guitar.
