The PLASMA Coil is a version of the PLASMA Pedal designed together with Jack White and Third Man Records.
The PLASMA Coil is a revolutionary way of producing distortion by converting your instrument’ssignal into a seriesof high-voltage plasma discharges in a sealed xenon filled tube.The result is an incredibly sharp and sizzling overdrive that is extremely clear, responsive, and most importantly fun!
This patent-pending technology of high-voltage electric discharge also acts as a natural noise-gating device thatcreates strong contrasts between staccato notes, as well as eliminating all unwanted noise and pick-up hum. ThePLASMA Coil’s electric discharge tube produces beautiful visible bolts of lightning that react to the input signal, thuscreating a captivating experience for all players. In essence you are playing a bolt of electricity.
