We handed PLUS II to a group of musicians on the video shoot set.
With no rehearsal or time to explain, we asked them to improvise with their foot on the brass pedal as the camera was rolling.

What you’ll hear is what happens when you have one pedal & one take.

And we think it’s incredible.
---------
The original PLUS Pedal earned its reputation as a modern classic by letting
musicians create rich, organic, and beautifully layered soundscapes that feel truly alive...

THE NEW PLUS PEDAL II takes that magic further — offering a more intuitive, more expressive, and much more powerful experience than ever before!

NEW SOUND ALGORITHM:
At the core of the PLUS Pedal 2 lies its most impressive achievement: a state-of-the-art sound capture and layering algorithm - based on a method that we've called Spectral Sampling.
By combining real-time audio sampling with instant resynthesis - the new PLUS II produces
an incredibly sophisticated and nuanced sound - capturing the true timbre, dynamics, harmonics, and character of any instrument you feed into it.

DESIGNED FOR ALL INSTRUMENTS:
Whether you’re playing electric guitar, singing vocals, or performing on flute, saxophone, violin, cello, acoustic instruments, or even experimental sound sources, the PLUS pedal captures any melodic sound with stunning realism and musicality.
It handles everything from the gentlest breath to the most complex transients with remarkable accuracy, turning any input into rich, pure, and breathtaking layers.
This is the kind of magical responsiveness that makes you forget you’re using a pedal at all.

AUTOMATIC NOTE CATCHING:
You can now rest your foot on the pedal and simply play.
New notes are automatically caught and layered with natural, musical decay —
creating the feeling of playing a piano with infinite sustain.

ENDLESS LAYERING with PRECISE CONTROL:
The new PLUS Pedal features a dedicated LAYERS control knob, which lets you precisely control the amount of layers that you stack together: from 1 to 10 and up to infinity!

EXPANDED CONTROLS:
A few simple front panel switches let you easily set up your PLUS Pedal II -
from natural behaviours that perfectly mimic the response of a real Piano pedal;
or turn it into your own personal ambient drone machine!
The amount of experimentation and musical applications here is endless!

XLR INPUT with ADJUSTABLE ANALOG MIC PREAMP:
Plug any microphone directly into the PLUS PEDAL II and enjoy the full power of the new SPECTRAL SAMPLING algorithm with immediacy - no other pedals required!
We are excited to see the PLUS Pedal II on more acoustic, jazz, and classical stages!

NEW FOOTSWITCH:
Unlock three new performance modes with the new PLUS II FSW addon -

WET ONLY - disables all dry signal and leaves only the WET layers in the output.
LATCH - puts the PLUS II into an "always on" state - this is a perfect addition to the new
Auto Layer Catching function.
HIDE - temporarily conceals the dry signal as soon as you press the BRASS Pedal - that way the audience does not hear what notes you are feeding into the PLUS - only the newly created layers.

SWITCHABLE FX LOOP:
An innovative routing system that lets you experiment with external effect placement without having to re-patch your board - a simple three-position switch lets you move the external FX between three positions in the signal chain - PRE PLUS, POST PLUS, or the PLUS's WET OUT.
