GTC Sound Innovations is launching its new hand-controlled guitar effects unit, Revpad at this year’s NAMM.
Revpad comprises a multi effects unit including both digital and analogue effects controlled by the Revpad touch pad that is attached to any guitar or bass.
It is designed to allow greater freedom on stage and the ability to combine effects. While it is not a synthesizer, the combinations of effects and parameters it allows gives many synthesizer-like tones as well as all the traditional guitar effects you would expect.
It consists of a base unit which performs the sound processing and a guitar unit that communicates with the base unit and acts like a remote control using a touch pad and three control buttons.
Effects can be connected through the effects loop and controlled by the Revpad. It is also equipped with MIDI and computer connectivity.
It will debut at the looming NAMM Show, with units shipping immediately after.
