Final 12 months Aviate Audio launched the Developer Version of its Multiverse pedal — mainly a plug-in host in guitar pedal format. Now, simply in time for NAMM 2024, the corporate has introduced the Participant Version of the Multiverse. The pedal is, for all intents and functions, unchanged. Identical fundamental design, similar processor beneath the hood (a 600MHz Cortex M7), it's simply cheaper now at $349, and presumably gained't have entry to among the developer targeted instruments.
The pedal itself has a small 1.3-inch OLED display screen to navigate the UI. There are 4 programable push encoders, plus two programable foot switches. There's stereo 1/4-inch TRS ins and outs, an 1/8-inch TRS midi enter on the aspect, two expression jacks and a USB-C port. Whereas the Multiverse can be utilized with a regular AC adapter, it may also be powered over USB-C, which is fairly useful when loading new results or testing out a patch.
To have fun the launch of the Participant Version Multiverse, Aviate Audio can also be saying model 1.3 of its Multiverse Designer software program, which can add help for impulse responses (IR) for speaker emulation. Should you shell out the $349 to seize one in all these customizable multi-effects pedals, you'll have entry to a small, however rising library of impact plugins via the Multiverse shop (21 of them by my depend).
They cowl many of the fundamental results you'd want on a pedal board, fuzz, delay, reverb, et cetera. There's even an emulation of a Klon Centaur, that's cheekily marked as being on sale for $0 with an authentic worth of $7,999. A lot of the results at present within the Aviate store are free, however there are a couple of that ask you to pay $5 or $10 for them. The arrange isn't terribly completely different from what Mod Devices tried to do with its Duo line. Clearly Aviate Audio feels it may well succeed the place Mod struggled.
