Is it digital or analog?

PLASMA Coil is an analog guitar pedal that doesn’t use signal processing.

Is it true or buffered bypass?

PLASMA Coil is a true bypass design pedal.

Can I use it with a bass guitar? / Can I use it with other instruments?

Definitely! Gamechanger Audio PLASMA Coil was designed with guitar, bass, and synth players in mind – operating in full EQ spectrum.

How long does the tube last?

The expected life of the xenon tube is 10,000 to 70,000 hours of active playing. The tube is under warranty. No other colors are available.

Is the sound actually going through the plasma or is just blinking from the input signal?

It is the actual discharge path for the high voltage signal! These discharges have an unusual spectrum and they are responsible for that electric crackling sound.

Aren't plasma globes known for causing pretty dire RF interference? Any chance this will cause bleeding in adjacent modules?

The PLASMA Coil doesn’t cause any RF interference. The PLASMA Coil pedal has been tested in a certified laboratory and passed Electro-magnetic compatibility tests. Sensitive devices e.g. guitar pickups can pick up noise in very, very close proximity.

Does the PLASMA Coil come with a power supply?

Gamechanger Audio doesn’t provide a free power supply with PLASMA Coil.

The PLASMA Coil can be powered only with a standard pedal power supply – a center-negative polarity with 9V DC and at least 250mA. Barrel plug – 2.1 x 5.5 mm. Using power supplies with a higher voltage (V) will damage the effects unit. No options to insert batteries.
