Description:
This "pedal" is the first in a series of advanced
technology volume and/or audio effects control systems which take the form
of a conventional foot pedal in either the "high" or "low" profile
forms. It can be used as a foot pedal of the simplest
form; however it contains technical
capabilities which far exceed those of any
currently available audio dynamics control device. The
basic
model includes accurate emulations of virtually all audio tapers of
mechanical
potentiometers ("pots") used in the past, as well as the audio control
"taper" of all popular
electronic foot pedals. (Additional replica
tapers or custom tapers can be factory added in a very short time via its
USB port). Tapers are selectable by means of a digital switch on the side
of the
unit
near the input and output jacks. This patent-pending control system does
not utilize
potentiometers, encoders or light devices of any type. There are no
components to wear out.
It incorporates the latest technology in low-noise, high
headroom amplification - in a class with the
latest exceptional dynamic response
studio-grade amplifiers, while preserving the warmth of
vintage
tone. It is fully buffered, preventing noise from externally connected
tuners and other devices from entering the signal chain as well as
providing safety from system malfunction due to shorted or intermittent
cables. A full-time tuner output allows tuning with the pedal in any
position, including the "off Minimum position. It is factory programmed
via a miniature USB
port.
Subsequent software updates may be uploaded via this USB port. It is
solidly built such that it
will
not skate around the floor with foot movement. A blue LED pedal-board
light indicates both proper power and that it is operating within
acceptable parameters.
An optional micro-miniature remote sensor is available which assumes full control of
the pedal when plugged in. This remote control system opens
limitless possibilities, from mechanical control by instruments, to usage
by musicians who have lost a limb and have been prevented from playing
until now. (A remote sensor will be supplied at no charge to
individuals who suffer a physical
impairment which can be aided by this remote control device).
Its internal circuitry is well-behaved in terms of power
supply connection, interruption or
disconnection, thereby minimizing noise
which might annoy listeners or possibly damage speaker
systems. This is no garage-shop hobbyist toy. It is the culmination of
years of research, designed and hand-built in the U.S.A. by leading and
internationally recognized aerospace engineers, technicians, assemblers
and musicians in a state-of-the-art facility in Mesa, Arizona by Telonics,
Inc., an established leader in scientific instrumentation and
communications since the 1970's.
Dependability, long-term reliability, performance and value are paramount
in this pedal.
The MVP
600 smart pedal configuration was developed for Mullen Guitar Company by
Telonics.
