We sent a team of sonic scientists deep into the arctic circle on a secret mission: to capture bits of the Aurora Borealis so we could transmute them into a pedal. What emerged was Luminous, equal parts phaseshifter and swirly glowing haze machine. It dances and hovers with the utmost mystery, occasionally imperceptible while frequently vivid. And it glows in the dark, because of course it does.
You may have heard the joke that “phasers are just boneless flangers,” and that’s kind of true! We like to think of phasing as a more round and liquid sound, one that sits in a mix a lot better than the sharp / angular tone of flanging. Luminous gives you ten distinct flavours of phaser, from very subtle to incredibly intense. Then we add in the ability to save your favourite sounds to instant access presets, making for an incredibly useful musical tool.
The Leap Series improves upon our popular Neo Series platform in lots of ways, including:
Stereo audio input and output with phase correction
Low-noise direct-coupled audio path
Improved audio headroom and frequency response
FXCore DSP with more than 8 times the processing power than our previous Neo Series pedals
32 onboard presets (4 banks of 8 presets each,) all accessible on the pedal without the need for external controls.
